Launched in May 2023, the Sui blockchain leverages a unique architecture to achieve high scalability through horizontal scaling, ensuring low transaction fees even during peak demand. Its parallel processing capability enables instant finality and robust security—creating an ideal foundation for DeFi protocols to flourish. This potential is evident in Sui’s recent surge to over $340M in Total Value Locked (TVL).
Among the standout DeFi applications on Sui is Scallop Protocol, a leading lending platform that exemplifies the network’s efficiency.
Scallop Protocol: Sui’s Premier Financial Hub
Scallop holds the distinction of being the first DeFi project awarded an official grant by the Sui Foundation. It has also garnered multiple accolades from Sui Builder House hackathons, cementing its reputation as a trailblazer in the ecosystem.
Institutional-Grade Features
Scallop offers:
- Sui Programmable Transaction Blocks (PTxs) for advanced transaction structuring.
- Scallop SDK and Sui Kit (TypeScript SDK) for seamless protocol interactions.

Users can borrow/lend major stablecoins (USDC, USDT), SUI, and CETUS (native token of Sui-based DEX Cetus). An incentive program funded by Mysten Labs, Sui Foundation, and Openblock Labs rewards participants with SUI tokens.

- $64M TVL (all-time high), ranking as Sui’s #1 DeFi protocol.
