Suilend's Multi-Product DeFi Suite

Blockworks Research

Suilend has grown into the top money market and liquid staking provider on Sui. STEAMM, Suilend’s Superfluid AMM, presents a compelling avenue for growing market share within Sui’s DEX landscape and revenue generation for the protocol. Suilend’s multi-product suite position it well for owning market share across key verticals. While current metrics across the Sui ecosystem are likely inflated due to Sui Foundation incentive programs, SEND trades at amongst the lowest multiples in the lend/borrow sector, suggesting that a bull case for continued growth in the ecosystem may be mispriced.

The consumer crypto era has definitively begun, kick started by Pump.fun, we’re seeing bright spots across the consumer crypto landscape. We firmly believe this trend has legs. Some of our favorite crypto consumer apps today are leaning into a feature uniquely enabled by crypto - net new asset issuance. We believe this gives them a higher probability of success than previous experiments, which eschewed speculation and did not lean into crypto’s unique enabling features.
