yesterday gasless stablecoin transfers went live on @SuiNetwork
you can now send USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY to anyone, for zero gas fees, without holding a single SUI
and this is the paradigm shift we have been pointing at for years
money should move as freely as messages
you do not buy credits before texting a friend on whatsapp or instagram
and you should not have to buy a separate token before sending a dollar
that gap, between how messages move and how money moves, is what we have been trying to close for years
yesterday we closed it at the protocol-level
and this is not a cheaper version of what came before
this is not a discount applied on top of the chain
this is a change to the chain itself
the protocol does not charge gas on supported wallet to wallet stablecoin transfers
and that makes sui a different category of infrastructure
because there is a real difference between less than a cent and zero
less than a cent is still a line item
less than a cent is still a gas balance to monitor
less than a cent is still a finance team asking why a small fee in a strange token is showing up in the books
zero is none of that
and that is what mass adoption of payment rails actually requires
with no gas fees, companies do not have to worry about accounting for gas fees
they do not have to worry about gas management
they do not have to worry about endless web3 compatibility infra
we want builders to ship payments products, not payments ops teams
with gasless stablecoin transfers, the entire layer of overhead around stablecoin payments just disappeared
that operational layer was the real barrier to mass adoption
removing it is what puts @SuiNetwork in a different league of payment infrastructure
and now it's time to push adoption
💥Update : Sui VC tokens are fully vested. Full stop. What's Next? A battle-tested ecosystem, explosive inbound in agentic and payments, and a runway that belongs entirely to builders and the community. Buckle up and LFG!!!
🦭 UPDATE: Predictable pricing is live on Walrus.
No more token-price guesswork. Storage on Walrus is now fixed at $0.023/GB/mo, so your costs stay predictable as you scale.
Same price as centralized providers but with data portability, verifiable integrity, and programmable access controls built in.

this year we're launching confidential transactions on sui
the entire internet is about to get FREE PAYMENTS WITH PRIVACY, AT SCALE
only possible on @SuiNetwork
Builders. Institutions. Innovators. All converged at Sui Live.
A clear signal that the architecture for the future of finance, payments, and the agentic web is being built on Sui.
Here are all the updates from the week in Miami:
- 50k+ people joined Sui Live (IRL+ online) to see the future of finance take shape.
- Sui celebrated 3 years of Mainnet, and the industry poured in to celebrate. Looking forward to many more years of growth together.
- @CMEGroup officially launched $SUI futures. Millions of institutional traders now have direct and regulated access to the ecosystem.
- @RaoulGMI on-stage Sui Live stated that Sui network provably has the most intelligence-dense, efficient architecture of any blockchain that exists today.
- @paga is integrating $USDsui for direct dollar settlement. One of Africa’s largest payments networks which processed $11B in 2025 is bringing stablecoins to scale on the network.
- @SlushWallet introduced a @Stripe powered on-ramp for $USDsui. Spend IRL, earn onchain.
- @Slushwallet announced the Slush Card that allows users to spend digital assets at 130 million merchants via @RedotPay without needing to sell their crypto.
- @DeepBookonSui launched Predict on testnet. It joins Spot and Margin as a core primitive to expand the possibilities for builders on the shared liquidity layer.
- @warped_games Universe is now live on Epic Games Store. Players can defend planets and own their progress in a game built entirely on the Sui full stack.
- Sui is landing in Reykjavik for @EVE_Frontier Fanfest from May 14 to 16. The game is built to be modded and extended by its players using the Sui stack.
- @guywuolletjr from @a16zcrypto discussed the future of financial systems and how institutional capital is being deployed to support the next generation of builders, at Sui Live.
- @suiballO announced that beta testing is live for their integrated hardware. The first devices will ship in Sept.
- @useLinq hosted a livestream with @EmanAbio to demonstrate how they are meeting stablecoin demand by building seamless fiat on and off ramps across Africa.
- Registrations are open for Sui Overflow 2026. @suidevelopers can compete for a prize pool of across categories like the Agentic Web and DeFi.
This week showed the world that the network for the next billion users onchain is Sui.
$0. That would be the cost of moving millions on Sui.
At Sui Live, @EmanAbio laid out a vision where money moves as freely as messages. Payments truly free for anyone, anywhere.
Sui is architected to support free multi-stablecoin transfers at any scale. Mainnet imminent.
Today we’re introducing Predict.
Onchain options have been stuck at ~$100M in TVL while perp DEX volume hit $7T+ last year. The gap is architectural.
Predict is the third composable financial primitive in the DeepBook stack.
Builders can create binary markets, options (calls, puts, spreads), leveraged products, and structured instruments that integrate directly with Spot and Margin.
Testnet is live. Mainnet coming soon.
Spot. Margin. Predict.

Building trading infrastructure from scratch is the most expensive detour a team can take.
Matching engines. Liquidity bootstrapping. Settlement contracts. Audits. Six figures before you write product code.
DeepBook's Spot and Margin are live on Sui mainnet. 20+ apps already compose on them.

most people don't know this. privacy was built into Sui on day one and we had it working
But we ripped it out before mainnet
because the regulatory climate in 2022 and 2023 was uncertain enough that we made the hard call to pull it before launch
that was the right decision at the time. but the problem it was designed to solve never went away
consumers are not accustomed to sharing their dirty laundry or the history of everything they've ever done with the world just by receiving money or sending money
public infrastructure has a responsibility to let users keep their transactions private
imagine doing disbursement of payroll to accounts on chain where everyone can see who's in what. over time with analysis, you can find out who the CEO is all the way to who the engineer is
no company will accept that. no consumer will accept that either
you cannot have large scale consumer adoption in crypto without privacy. that has always been true
the question was never whether privacy matters. the question was how do you build it so that it actually gets adopted
look at Zcash. most transactions on Zcash aren't even private. because it cost more money and it is more complicated
privacy that costs extra is privacy that nobody uses
on Sui, privacy is not going to cost you more. making a transaction private on Sui does not add a single cent to the cost. and that changes everything about who adopts it and how fast
but the bigger shift is this
privacy today is something given to you by centralized entities. your bank, your brokerage, your payment app.
you trust them to keep your secrets. that trust is the product
privacy on @SuiNetwork will be given to you by math and cryptography
rather than trusting centralized entities to keep your secrets secret, you trust the math and the open source code
that is a fundamentally different guarantee
And when it launches, it will work on exchanges on day one. it will work with custodial and non-custodial wallets on day one
and the only people who can see your transactions are those who have the legal right to see them
plus, all traditional businesses expect privacy by default. they already operate in a world where financial transactions are private
what they need is public infrastructure that gives them the same guarantee without a private chain
companies that want to issue bonds, stocks, or RWAs on chain need issuer controlled visibility. they need to decide that only sender, receiver, and maybe a regulator can see the details
when privacy goes live, Sui will give them that at the protocol level
this is why i believe Sui will onboard more traditional businesses than any other chain. everything a traditional business expects from financial infrastructure already exists on Sui at the base layer
and the regulatory environment has caught up to where we were building years ago. so now we can bring it back
soon payments on Sui will be free, private, and compliant. the way it was always meant to be
After two nights of April Fools quantum drama, let’s drop some receipts, mostly to get back my sanity as I was left without saliva.
First stateless (multi-use) quantum-safe signatures in crypto / distributed ledgers? Yeah… that was me and Mike Hearn (one of the OG Bitcoin devs). We designed and shipped the first stateless post-quantum scheme in production for blockchains a decade ago.
10 years later Google posts a paper and suddenly everyone’s calling…
…but they’re all late and thirsty. 😅
Believe me, SUI is on something quantum unique
