The much-awaited SUI mainnet has finally gone live on May 3rd, marking a major milestone for the Sui Foundation and the digital asset ecosystem as a whole. With the launch of this Layer 1 blockchain, developers now have the freedom to build without being encumbered by complicated infrastructure. At the same time, it opens up a world of possibilities for users across the globe.

The Sui blockchain, a smart contract platform aimed at promoting the growth of Web3, boasts enhanced speed and scalability. Its delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) feature allows users to elect and vote delegates, who then confirm the next block. This approach has certainly captured the interest of many, even reaching the discerning South Korean crypto community.

Despite South Korea’s reputation for cautiousness concerning new projects, UpBit, one of the country’s largest exchanges, revealed plans to commence trading SUI on May 3rd. In addition, the Sui mainnet launch has also received support from several leading crypto trading platforms, including Binance, OKX, Kucoin, Huobi, Poloniex, and Bybit.

However, the path has not been all smooth for the newly-launched token. As is common for the early hours after launch, SUI experienced intense volatility, with its value taking a dramatic plunge from $3.5 to under $1.5 within minutes. Furthermore, there has been recent speculation involving Tron Founder Justin Sun, who allegedly transferred over 56 million TUSD (valued at more than $56.4 million) to crypto exchange Binance on May 1st. The incident led to rumors that Sun intends to farm the newly-released Sui tokens on Binance LaunchPool.

In response, Binance CEO CZ issued a warning to Sun, urging him against using any portion of the TUSD deposit to earn SUI rewards on the platform.

Overall, while the SUI mainnet launch marks a historic moment for the Sui community and broader digital asset space, it is essential to remain cautious, considering the inherent volatility after the token’s launch, combined with the recent controversy surrounding its farming. While the network’s innovative approach and quality of support from major exchanges bode well for its future, it is up to potential investors to closely monitor the situation and appropriately weigh the risks and rewards before making any decisions regarding SUI.
