The Sui Network has achieved a new all-time high in total value locked (TVL), reaching $2.09 billion, according to data from DeFiLlama and BlockBeats. This milestone exceeds its previous peak of $2.083 billion set in January 2025, demonstrating sustained growth and increased investor confidence in the network’s DeFi ecosystem. TVL is a key metric in measuring the health and activity of a blockchain’s decentralized finance environment, as it reflects the total capital deposited across all DeFi protocols built on the chain.
In just one week, the Sui Network’s TVL has increased by an impressive 22.4%, driven by rising participation across several top-performing protocols. Among the leaders contributing to this growth are Suilend Protocol, a decentralized lending platform; NAVI Protocol, a liquidity market offering yield optimization; and Cetus, a concentrated liquidity DEX (decentralized exchange). These applications are leveraging Sui’s high-performance architecture—designed around parallel execution and Move-based smart contracts—to offer users low-latency, cost-efficient DeFi services.
This surge in TVL underscores Sui’s growing status as a competitive Layer 1 blockchain in the DeFi space. Its ability to attract both users and developers at scale highlights the network’s appeal for building next-gen DeFi applications. With its infrastructure enabling faster transactions and greater scalability than many legacy chains, Sui is positioning itself as a long-term player in the evolving Web3 economy. If this growth continues, Sui may soon rival some of the more established DeFi ecosystems in the crypto indu
stry.
