Sui has launched GraphQL subscriptions on its Mainnet, enabling developers to stream real-time blockchain data such as checkpoints, transaction blocks, and events via a unified WebSocket interface. The feature supports query-aligned filtering, automatic reconnection, and cursor-based backfilling for seamless data recovery. This launch completes the migration from the legacy JSON-RPC system, which was fully phased out on Foundation nodes in July 2026. GraphQL subscriptions provide a persistent connection, eliminating the need for polling and offering a flexible, human-readable alternative to Sui's existing gRPC streaming for web and mobile applications.

Aurora Labs has integrated Sui into its Intents Connect product, enabling one-signature cross-chain transactions that route assets directly into Sui-based applications for lending, trading, staking, or yield products. The service removes the need for separate bridging, wallet switching, and SUI gas management, handling these steps through the application the user already has open, with NEAR Intents providing liquidity and settlement. According to a Sep. 17 press release, the underlying solver network has processed over $30 billion in transactions. Aurora Labs CEO Declan Hannon highlighted that Sui is only the second non-Ethereum-compatible chain supported, after Solana, noting the engineering challenge due to Sui's object-based system. The integration provides developers on Sui with access to external liquidity across all supported networks. Intents Connect also offers an alternative for users affected by Phantom's upcoming removal of Sui support, allowing them to initiate transactions from wallets on other chains. Additionally, regulated exposure to SUI exists via Coinbase staking and CME Group futures.

SUI and Lagos-based fintech startup Daya are partnering to enable gasless stablecoin transfers in Africa, targeting businesses facing average cross-border remittance fees of 7.9% or higher. Sui's gasless infrastructure, which launched in May 2026 and has processed nearly $65 billion in fee-free stablecoin transactions, would allow peer-to-peer transfers without users holding SUI tokens or paying network fees. Daya, founded in October 2025 and backed by a $2.4 million pre-seed round in June 2026 (with participation from Hivemind Capital, Lattice, Alliance, Globelink, and the Aptos Foundation), provides virtual USD accounts, stablecoin wallets, and FX tools for African businesses. The article notes that no confirmed integration between Daya and Sui has been established, despite both companies being active in the African stablecoin space. Sui has separately partnered with Nigerian payments firm Paga for continental stablecoin infrastructure, while Daya's existing partnerships include work with Aptos and Tempo.

XStable, a decentralized perpetual trading platform for real-world assets, has partnered with the Sui Network to enable on-chain trading of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and foreign exchange pairs. The integration, announced September 10, adds Sui Wallet connectivity and USDC support, expanding beyond its original Solana base. The platform uses a central limit order book and settles in stablecoins, offering non-custodial trading. The move is part of a multi-chain strategy to capture users across ecosystems. XStable has raised multi-million-dollar funding from investors including Amber Group, KuCoin Ventures, and YZi Labs. It targets the over $9 trillion daily precious metals and FX markets, competing with platforms like Synthetix and Ondo Finance. Future plans include broader FX pairs, indices, and AI-native features.

CCP Games, the developer of EVE Online, announced on October 8, 2025, that its upcoming space MMO, EVE Frontier, will migrate its blockchain infrastructure from an Ethereum Layer-2 setup (Redstone and MUD) to Sui's Layer-1 blockchain. The decision is driven by Sui's object-centric architecture, Move programming language, sub-second transaction finality, parallel processing, and sponsored transactions that eliminate gas fees for players. Sui's zkLogin also simplifies onboarding by allowing social account authentication. The testnet migration occurred in March 2026, tied to an in-game update called 'Shroud of Fear.' The game introduces an on-chain EVE Token as its economic layer on Sui, distinct from the internal LUX currency. Earlier testing phases saw over 11,000 character creations. CCP Games is partnering with Mysten Labs, the team behind Sui.

Full Sail, a DeFi protocol on the Sui blockchain, is winding down after a security incident linked to oracle provider Switchboard caused user losses. The protocol has disabled new deposits and LP reward claims, with regular pools moving to withdrawal-only mode after final security checks. Compensating users is the top priority, using remaining protocol-owned liquidity, with the team covering any shortfall to repay community depositors first. The incident, first disclosed on Saturday, resulted in about $91,000 stolen from three vaults. Switchboard halted its network on Aptos, Sui, IOTA and Movement to investigate a potential compromise. Separately, IOTA's Virtue protocol reported about $455,000 in losses, impairing its VUSD stablecoin backing. Full Sail expects to publish withdrawal instructions in the coming days.

In the first week of September 2026, the crypto market will see token unlocks worth approximately $1.5 billion, potentially driving volatility. Key projects include Hyperliquid, Sui, and Ethena. Hyperliquid will unlock 9.92 million HYPE tokens on September 6, valued at $797 million, allocated to core contributors. Sui will release 13.53 million SUI tokens on September 1, worth $9.73 million, split among early contributors, the community reserve, and Mysten Labs Treasury. Ethena will unlock 40.63 million ENA tokens on September 2, valued at $6.05 million, awarded to the Foundation. Other projects like EigenCloud, Gunz, and GoPlus Security will also see new token supply entering the market.

Switchboard, a multi-chain oracle protocol, halted operations on its Move-based deployments (Aptos, Sui, IOTA, Movement) after detecting a potential security compromise. The incident, disclosed between Aug. 28 and 29, involved a compromised oracle key on IOTA that allowed an attacker to set the token's price to $10 million, mint about 4.94 million VUSD via the Virtue CDP protocol, and trigger liquidations affecting 45 users and protocol freezes. Switchboard is investigating with security agencies; its Solana deployment was unaffected, though it advised Solana users to seek temporary alternatives. The compromise, occurring at the key level rather than via market manipulation, highlights oracle risks. While no exploits were confirmed on other networks, DeFi protocols relying solely on Switchboard are temporarily unable to perform price-dependent functions.

KuCoin's Web3 wallet has added support for Sui mainnet assets, allowing users to manage tokens on the Move-based layer-1 blockchain within its self-custodial interface. The integration, which follows Sui's spot listing in May 2023 and USDC deposit support in October 2024, enables holding, sending, and receiving tokens, along with access to dApps and cross-chain swaps. The move is part of KuCoin's ongoing multi-chain expansion in 2025 and 2026, which has included networks like Robinhood Chain, 0G, Monad, and HyperEVM. Sui, built on Meta's Move language, uses an object-centric model for high throughput. No immediate price or volume changes in SUI were reported following the announcement.

Phantom will end Sui support on Sept. 24, removing balances, swaps, sends, and dapp connections, though user assets remain onchain and accessible via compatible wallets like Slush or Ledger. The move highlights the power wallet interfaces hold over blockchain access, even in self-custodial markets, as users face choices between swapping assets or migrating credentials to continue holding Sui. The fee waiver applies only to Phantom's cross-chain swaps to wrapped SUI on Solana; other swaps carry standard fees. Recovery-phrase users migrating to Slush face key-export risks, while Ledger users keep keys offline. The reason for the split and affected-user count remain undisclosed, underscoring distribution power at the interface layer.
