What it actually costs to sell SUI
Selling $100,000 of SUI into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken SUI/USD | 0.08% | $99,917 | 2026-10-08 |
| Coinbase SUI/USD | 0.13% | $99,866 | 2026-10-08 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps SUI on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Sui is
Sui is a proof-of-stake blockchain launched in 2023 by Mysten Labs, founded by engineers who previously worked on Meta's abandoned Diem project. It uses Move, a programming language originally designed there specifically to make asset-handling code harder to get wrong.
Its design treats everything as objects rather than account balances. Transactions that touch unrelated objects — most simple transfers — can skip full consensus and execute in parallel, which is why Sui is fast and cheap under load.
The caveats are the ones that apply to any young chain, and they should not be skipped. Its track record is short, measured in a couple of years rather than a decade. A significant share of supply was allocated to early investors and the team, with unlocks releasing over time, which is a persistent source of sell pressure independent of how the technology performs. And Move's safety advantages come with a smaller developer pool than Ethereum's Solidity ecosystem.

SUI can be staked by delegating it to a validator. You keep hold of the staked coins yourself, and the validator may take a commission from the rewards. Rewards are counted in 24-hour periods, and a stake earns only for the periods it is in from start to end.

Where SUI lives
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
