What is Sui's tokenomics?

Question

Accepted Answer

Sui (SUI) is a Layer 1 blockchain by Mysten Labs (ex-Meta engineers) built around an object-centric data model that enables parallel execution, and uses the Move language. Tokenomics The supply picture from live data: - Total supply: 10,000,000,000 SUI - Max supply: 10,000,000,000 SUI (fully fixed, no inflation beyond the cap) - Circulating supply: ~4.07 billion SUI — so roughly 40.7% of the total is currently in circulation. Important caveat on allocation & unlocks: no tool I have access to returns the original allocation breakdown (e.g. what % went to core contributors, investors, community, treasury) or the vesting/unlock schedule. So I can't verify precise figures for those from live data — treat the 10B cap and current ~40.7% circulating as the confirmed facts, and anything about how the remaining ~5.9B unlocks over time as something to check against Sui's own docs/foundation disclosures rather than take from me. A few structural points from the data: - SUI is Proof of Stake — holders can stake to secure the network and earn rewards, which influences how supply moves through the ecosystem. - It's a fixed 10B max supply protocol, so unlike some chains there's no continuous token minting to fuel emissions; emissions are bounded by the cap. - Today's sentiment reading is 76% positive per CoinGecko.
