Staking - Sui (SUI)
Introduction
- On-chain staking utilizes the Proof-of-Stake protocol of applicable blockchain to generate rewards through a process typically called “staking”.
- Benefits of staking on MAX versus staking on other platforms:
1. Payouts once a week
2. Generate predictable yield with crypto
3. Stake your crypto with a few taps from your MAX app
4. Unstake anytime
Staking protocol
- Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain platform built on the Move language, developed by Mysten Labs, a team founded by former Meta (Facebook) executives. It features an "object-centric" data model design and is renowned for its ultra-low transaction latency and high scalability, making it widely utilized in decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 gaming.
- Sui adopts DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) as its consensus mechanism, a modified version of the conventional PoS protocol. It achieves high performance by allowing the community to delegate stakes to validators who verify transactions. The peak TPS (transactions per second) on Sui can reach up to 297,000 in a testing environment. (Reference: https://blog.sui.io/sui-performance-update/)
- As of July 13, 2026, the staking ratio on Sui is approximately 71.5% (with over 7.15 billion SUI staked), and the Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi surpasses 430 million USD, ranking among the top globally based on market cap. These assets are distributed across well-known DeFi protocols such as NAVI Protocol and Scallop.

Risks
- Assets are subject to losses if the private key of the validator is compromised.
- Rewards could be less than expected if the blockchain protocol contains design defects.
- Blockchain network security risks: Although the mainnet has been operating stably to date, potential security vulnerabilities could still arise in the future.
