Sui

Making Sui the L1 consumer founders default to — not just admire.

We built the consumer narrative, the gaming partner pipeline, and the regional creator engine that turned a Move-based L1 into one of the most-shipped chains of the cycle.

The challenge

Sui had elite tech credibility but a thin consumer story — most builders defaulted to EVM by reflex.

Move had a steep onboarding curve and almost no creator content explaining why it was worth the switch.

Our approach

How we ran it.

01

Consumer-first narrative

Reframed Sui around shipped consumer apps — wallets, games, social — instead of throughput benchmarks. Every announcement led with a real user, not a TPS chart.

02

Gaming partner BD

Onboarded 38 game studios with bespoke launch kits, custodial wallet integrations, and shared LiveOps playbooks.

03

Move creator program

Funded 60+ regional creators in KR, JP, VN, BR, TR with a real editorial calendar — not just a bounty board.

04

IRL flywheel

Sui House at Token2049, GDC, and Korea Blockchain Week — each one tied to a consumer launch, not a generic ecosystem panel.

"Growth3 Labs understood that infra credibility doesn't auto-convert into consumer adoption. They built the bridge — partner by partner, creator by creator — and the on-chain numbers followed."
