Suilend Announces SpringSui, Sui’s New Liquid Staking Instrument

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the blockchain industry, I find the introduction of SpringSui by Suilend on the Sui network to be a promising development for DeFi growth and liquidity management. Having witnessed the surge of liquid staking tokens (LSTs) on other networks like Ethereum and Solana, it’s exciting to see Sui joining the party with its own LST standard.


As a crypto investor, I’m excited to share that Suilend has unveiled the details about the rollout of SpringSui – a groundbreaking standard for Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). This innovative standard marks the debut of Spring SUI (sSUI), the first-ever LST on Move-based Sui (SUI) platform.

Spring SUI (sSUI), new-gen LST on Sui (SUI), introduced by Suilend

On the swiftly expanding Sui (SUI) blockchain, Suilend, a DeFi lending protocol, launches a liquid staking standard known as SpringSui. This standard is designed to boost the development of LSTFi on Sui (SUI), opening up fresh avenues for liquidity management.

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil sSUI – the next step in liquid staking within the Sui ecosystem!

The launch of the first liquid staking asset on the Sui network, known as sSUI (Synthetic Spring SUI), is initiated following SpringSui’s deployment.

By implementing sSUI, we’re making it simpler for more individuals within the Web3 community to engage in staking activities. This not only boosts the overall participation but also expands liquidity and generates higher returns through yield opportunities on the Sui network.

SpringSui expands upon proposals SIP-31 and SIP-33, which implement a fresh token standard aimed at boosting the expansion of LSTs on Sui. The initial token created using this system, sSUI, was developed by Suilend to showcase the potential of SIP-33.

Suilend’s creator, Rooter, expresses enthusiasm over the potential of the novel protocol and the doors it opens for both investors and traders.

As a forward-thinking crypto investor, I’m optimistic that SpringSui heralds a fresh epoch for liquid staking within the Sui ecosystem. The key factor propelling this growth is the concept of leveraged staking, which stands to gain significant momentum with SpringSui’s innovative approach.

Just as with other Liquid Swap-like frameworks, SpringSui enables users to invest SUI and receive returns that correspond to their investments, all within 100% decentralized applications.

More opportunities for DeFi growth on Sui (SUI)

Sam Blackshear, the Chief Technology Officer at Mysten Labs – creators of the Sui (SUI) blockchain, commends Suilend for their achievements in introducing liquid staking to the Sui (SUI) network.

The enhancements in SIP-31 and SIP-33 for the Sui staking system are substantial. Making staked tokens exchangeable (fungible) will boost their compatibility with existing applications and unlock fresh possibilities. Kudos to the Suilend team for their remarkable work on the theoretical and practical aspects of these advancements.

By democratizing staking access to the Sui network, SUI makes it possible for more individuals to take part, thereby increasing yield-earning chances within the Sui ecosystem.

On proof-of-stake networks such as Ethereum and Solana, liquid staking has gained significant traction, but it’s seen slower adoption on the Sui network, with just 1.18% of its native tokens being staked in LSTs (Liquid Staked Tokens). On the other hand, this figure stands at 6.6% on Solana and a staggering 41% on Ethereum.

As such, locking liquidity on Sui (SUI) might potentially be more attractive to “early birds.”
