The gameplay of Solana and Sui is like that of twins
First pump the price, then create a story
SOL skyrocketed from 8 to 200, and SUI jumped from 0.3 to 2.
As the coin price rises, media and funds come flooding in, and the locked-up data looks good immediately—just like stock trading; when the stock price goes up, people naturally seek out good news.
Using hardware as bait
Solana is making crypto phones, and Sui is following suit with a game console, with buyers all aiming to snag airdrop benefits.
Take the Sui console for example, 10,000 pre-orders sold out in seconds, with buyers waiting to receive tokens from a dozen projects' airdrops.
Locking developers in
Sui's tactic is even more ruthless: Want project subsidies? Sure, sign an exclusive agreement!
Develop only on my chain, forcing developers to stick to the ecosystem, unlike developers on other chains who go around harvesting benefits.
Projects on Sui are particularly savvy; you help me distribute airdrops, and I'll help you attract users.
For example, the top 50 users of the Navi lending platform didn’t receive Navi’s own tokens but instead collected airdrops from other projects, boosting user retention significantly.
People in the crypto world don’t care about technology; they only care about whether they can make money.
When the coin price rises, naturally someone will hype it for you.
Although these two projects are clearly controlled by major players, the team's execution power is impressive—within two years, the ecosystem data has surged into the top ten, and you can't deny it.
Now Sui is still chasing Solana, and at this momentum, who knows, in two years they might be on equal footing.
