Sui Ecosystem Use Cases

Sui builders drive growth through wallet campaigns and strategic partnerships. Explore their success stories:

xBTC Campaigns on Sui

OKX launched the “xBTC Phase 1 on Sui” campaign on June 24, 2025, offering over $2.8M in rewards for supplying xBTC, USDC, or SUI to NAVI, Bluefin, or Momentum. This attracted liquidity to xBTC-SUI and xBTC-USDC pools and incentivized borrowing on NAVI. As a result, the campaign boosted xBTC adoption, increased DeFi activity on Sui, and promoted further ecosystem growth.

xBTC OKX Borrow Campaign

NAVI Protocol and OKX launched a $700,000, two-month campaign on Sui starting June 24, 2025, to promote xBTC lending and borrowing. They introduced supply incentives for xBTC, followed by USDC and SUI borrowing rewards. Participants earn real-time rebates and APR boosts based on xBTC collateral. The initiative aims to grow xBTC's DeFi utility, increase Sui liquidity, and establish BTCFi as a key part of the Sui ecosystem.

OKX Cryptopedia

OKX Cryptopedia launched the “Momentum” campaign on June 25, 2025, offering $935,000 in MMT rewards through August 24. Users earn MMT by completing tasks like social actions, swapping or staking tokens, and providing liquidity to key pools. With over half a million participants, the campaign drives user onboarding, strengthens liquidity for major Sui pairs, and positions MMT as a core token in Sui’s DeFi ecosystem.

TBTC: Powering BTCFi on Bluefin

Bluefin launched the “TBTC: Powering BTCFi on Bluefin” campaign to grow Bitcoin-based DeFi and the tBTC ecosystem on Sui. Through a Galxe quest, users complete social tasks and provide $10+ liquidity to the tBTC/LBTC pool to earn rewards like tokens, loyalty points, and NFTs. Additionally, Bluefin offers over 11,000 SUI and 1.7M BLUE tokens for adding liquidity to xBTC pools. The campaign boosts user engagement, expands liquidity in BTC trading pairs, and advances BTCFi adoption on Bluefin.
