The first time I saw the token logo, I thought it was a Game or meme token project. Turns out this is an Infrastructure project with a utility token and a rapidly growing ecosystem on SUI.
So what ideas are behind the Haedal project?
Is this really interesting or just a passing trend amidst the hype?
Let's uncover it together.
🔍 What is Haedal?
Haedal is a liquid staking protocol specifically built on the SUI Network. Essentially, Haedal allows you to stake SUI and WAL tokens, then receive liquid staking tokens like haSUI and haWAL as rewards.
Just think of it as a digital receipt showing you have staked, and later it can be exchanged for SUI plus its rewards.
Well, haSUI can still be used for trading, farming, or other DeFi activities. So, while waiting for rewards, you can still utilize the tokens for other profits.
🔍 What Makes Haedal Interesting?
• Built Native on SUI: This means Haedal is built from scratch directly in the SUI ecosystem, not just an adaptation from another chain.
• Competitive APR: Their mission is clear: to make staking rewards or APR from their Liquid Staking Tokens equivalent to or even higher than regular staking options.
• Maximum Liquidity: You receive replacement Liquid Staking Tokens that can be used directly in various DeFi protocols — without having to wait for unstaking 7 to 14 days like the old system.
🔍 What is the difference with StakeStone?
Haedal is more focused on the SUI ecosystem and liquid staking solutions with deep DeFi integration in SUI.
✨ Interesting Facts About Haedal:

📌 What is Hae3's position in the Haedal ecosystem?
Hae3 is a sub-ecosystem of derivative products built on the foundation of Haedal's liquid staking.
🔁 So the order is like this:
1. You stake SUI → get haSUI
2. haSUI can be used in regular DeFi ecosystems, or directly in the Hae3 ecosystem.
3. There:
HMM: use liquidity for automated market-making (profit → APR subsidy)
haeVault: users can participate in strategies similar to pro LP bots → earn higher APR
haeDAO: all profits from this system are managed by the community → there is profit sharing + treasury for the future
🔍 Why is this important?
Because Haedal is not just an ordinary staking platform.
It integrates staking + market-making + yield strategy into one package.
While competitors like StakeStone only focus on staking and basic DeFi, Haedal has entered the realm of advanced DeFi + revenue sharing.
