Full Story
what we love in regards to the Web3 area?
The little man can nonetheless be a risk.
You ain’t gettin’ that in Web2! (Are you able to think about a scrappy startup dethroning Apple or Google? Not an opportunity).
What prompted this proclamation? Sui.
It’s a undertaking that we knew next-to-nothing about till this morning, outdoors of:
Its title (which we consistently get confused with the Sei undertaking).
And the truth that it was constructed by the parents engaged on Meta’s since-defunct ‘Diem’ token.
Now, get this:
Sui is lower than 12 months previous, and simply grew to become a high 10 DeFi blockchain, overtaking loooong established tasks like Bitcoin and Cardano.
Right here’s the place that’s vital, and likewise the place it’s a bit of deceptive:
Sui grew to become a high 10 DeFi blockchain when the greenback worth locked up within the undertaking topped $430M — that’s genuinely spectacular for such a younger undertaking!
Overtaking Cardano in whole worth locked? Additionally spectacular!
Overtaking Bitcoin? Surprisingly, not as spectacular.

(So it’s sort of like saying “Nike makes higher trainers than Toyota.”)
Nonetheless, all of these items thought-about, Sui’s fast escalation goes to indicate that we’re nonetheless so early, and Web3 continues to be but to be ‘received.’
Can we get a “hell yeah!” and a working chest bump??
(Guys?).
