$APT airdrop: βœ…
$SUI airdrop: TBA?
Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain that raised $300M in funding.
🧡 A thread: how to potentially qualify for $SUI
1/9
What is @SuiNetwork?
β€’ A permissionless PoS L1 blockchain by Mysten Labs
β€’ Current state: Testnet
β€’ VCs: onboard (a16z, Binance, FTX, and others).
The blockchain needs a native currency: $SUI is confirmed, but we don't know if, when, and how there will be any airdrop
2/9
There are two airdrop strategies:
β€’ Become a validator/node operator. Incentivized with 2000 $SUI (registration *closed* at the moment)
β€’ Use Sui testnet. We will cover that on this thread
Aptos airdrop was as much as 15000 USD, depending on the selling price!

STEP 1: Choose 1 of 3 wallets:
β€’ @suiet_wallet
β€’ @EthosWalletXYZ
β€’ @WaveWalletApp
(none of these has own token)
4/9
STEP 2: Get test tokens
β€’ Connect wallet at sui.bluemove.net
β€’ Hit 'SUI Faucet'
OR
β€’ Hit the 'airdrop' button inside the wallet interface
OR
β€’ paste !faucet + your address on discord
(Note that the network & the discord itself might be congested)
5/9
STEP 3: Use some protocols that are live now:
β€’ NFT collections: @SuiBirds, @theSuiPunks, @TheSuiDoge
β€’ NFT marketplace: @BlueMoveNFT
β€’ Name service: @SuiNames
β€’ DEX: @joinMovEX
(The protocols do not have own tokens yet)

What about the $SUI Tokenomics?
β€’ $SUI will be used to pay for gas fees
β€’ $SUI will be a governance token for an on-chain voting
β€’ $SUI will be distributed to validators for securing the PoS network
β€’ 10B max supply

How is Sui Network different from the Aptos Blockchain?
β€’ Scalability strategies (Sui plans to shard data storage efficiently and scale its resources horizontally)
β€’ Consensus algorithms (Aptos: BlockSTM, Sui: Narwahl & Tusk), meaning different security
9/9
What about their similarities?
β€’ Both use the Move (Rust-based) programming language
β€’ Both raised $300M~ in funding from the biggest crypto VCs
β€’ Both core teams worked in the blockchain dev department in Meta
