New Projects Can Still Beat Out ‘Big Dog’ Incumbents of Web3 (Here’s Proof)

TL;DR

Sui is lower than 12 months outdated, and simply grew to become a prime 10 DeFi blockchain, overtaking lengthy established tasks like Bitcoin and Cardano.

Full Story

You understand what we love concerning the Web3 house?

The little man can nonetheless be a menace.

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 venture that we knew next-to-nothing about till this morning, exterior of:

Its identify (which we continuously get confused with the Sei venture).

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Sui is lower than 12 months outdated, and simply grew to become a prime 10 DeFi blockchain, overtaking loooong established tasks like Bitcoin and Cardano.

Right here’s the place that’s vital, and in addition the place it’s just a little deceptive:

Sui grew to become a prime 10 DeFi blockchain when the greenback worth locked up within the venture topped $430M — that’s genuinely spectacular for such a younger venture!

Overtaking Cardano in complete worth locked? Additionally spectacular!

Overtaking Bitcoin? Surprisingly, not as spectacular.

A lot of the worth ‘locked’ in DeFi tasks, like Sui, comes from their staking and lending performance — two issues Bitcoin doesn’t natively help.

(So it’s form 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?).
