Sui, a layer 1 blockchain, has achieved a new milestone with its total value locked (TVL) surpassing $2.6 billion as of October 10, 2025, according to DeFiLlama. This marks a 37% increase over the past month and a 160% rise over the past year. The surge is attributed to the growing liquidity in DeFi protocols such as Suilend, Navi, and Momentum. The overall DeFi market has also seen substantial growth, with total TVL more than doubling in the past year to $175 billion, a 104% increase. In addition to its DeFi expansion, Sui has announced a partnership with World Liberty Financial and is preparing to integrate EVE Frontier, a significant Web3 gaming project.
