The fastest-growing chain in crypto? Not Base. Not Arbitrum...
It’s $SUI. And it’s catching up F A S T
After months of stealth growth, @SuiNetwork has surged into the top XX chains by TVL
Passing Avalanche - $AVAX, Hyperliquid - $HYPER, and now staring down the L2 giants
Here's what just happened ⤵️
→ Rank: Now #8 by number of active protocols → Growth: New lending, staking, and perp infra all shipping → Standouts: @suilendprotocol, @DeepBookonSui, @bluefinapp, @AftermathFi, @nexaxyz, → Momentum: Ecosystem devs + capital inflows are accelerating
Let me be clear though:
Sui isn’t just catching up, it’s closing in
Sui’s core tech unlocks something most others can’t
✓ Parallel execution → no bottlenecks ✓ Object-centric data → modular, flexible smart contract design ✓ 400ms finality → built for high-frequency DeFi ✓ Low fees → composability at scale
Most chains can scale Sui scales with composability intact
That’s a major unlock for builders and for devs
Especially as DeFi leans into higher frequency, multi-step interactions
So what’s next? 🤔
The Base vs Arbitrum vs Sui showdown is just beginning
- Base is strong + has the Coinbase funnel backing it
- Arbitrum has dev mindshare + is Superchain attached
But Sui? Sui is early in the S-curve and it's growing faster than both.
Catalysts to watch: • Native apps moving cross-chain • $BTC and stablecoin flows from bridge integrations • Network effects kicking in across lending, LSTs, and perps • Potential incentive flywheels 👀
TVL isn’t the only metric Protocol breadth + sticky activity = the real moat
Good news, $SUI is stacking both
Still think it’s an L1 race between Solana and Ethereum? Zoom out and think long term
The next leaderboard shakeup might be coming from below
Do you think Sui overtakes Base and Arbitrum?
