Sui 2026 Major Upgrade: Privacy Transactions, Gas-Free Stablecoins, DeFi Moonshot Plan Overview

【Crypto World】Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun recently revealed a major move in the Sui ecosystem—by 2026, it will officially complete its transformation from a simple L1 to a unified developer platform, launching the end-to-end decentralized development stack S2 (Sui Stack). In simple terms, this means packaging the functional updates from the past few years into a unified release, achieving a true convergence next year.

What specific features will be implemented? First, privacy— the protocol layer will directly integrate privacy transaction capabilities, meaning that privacy protection during on-chain operations will no longer be an add-on, but a standard system feature.

The stablecoin experience will also be upgraded. USDsui will become the anchor stablecoin of the Sui economy, paired with the consumer-grade entry point Slush. By 2026, transferring stablecoins on the Sui network will be completely free (including Gas fees), directly matching traditional financial experiences.

There are also major moves in DeFi. The DeepBook trading module will introduce margin trading features, along with recommended referral commissions and revenue sharing mechanisms, providing real incentives for liquidity providers and market makers. Additionally, the DeFi moonshot plan will be launched, targeting the funding of next-generation financial products, with the goal of making traditional finance as outdated as fax machines.

The scale of Bitcoin finance on Sui, the collaboration with Parasol and top studios (hinting at a shocking official announcement in 2026), plus Agentic Web optimizing on-chain transactions for intelligent agents—these puzzle pieces together make the Sui ecosystem in 2026 worth looking forward to.
