Gate Research Institute: Competition and Ecological Construction Analysis of Move Public Chain - Sui vs Aptos

The latest release from the gate Research Institute, "gate Research Institute: Competition in the Move-based Public Chain - Analysis of Competition and Ecosystem Construction of Sui and Aptos" , provides an in-depth analysis of the Move language public chain track originating from the Facebook Diem project, with Sui and Aptos as core samples. It dissects the competitive landscape from multiple dimensions such as technical foundation, performance comparison, user ecosystem, capital flow, and future development, and summarizes the latest trends and key opportunities in the Move track.

Summary of Key Points:

• Move Language: The Move language originated from the Facebook Diem project. Its unique resource management model and verifiability design provide dual guarantees for the performance and security of public chains. Sui and Aptos both evolved from the Move language, with the former focusing on ultimate performance and user experience, while the latter emphasizes system scalability and compatibility, creating differentiated paths at the language level.
• Data Comparison: Sui relies on the Meme economy and social gaming hotspots to drive continuous user and fund inflows, with significant growth in TVL and ecosystem token market value; Aptos, on the other hand, with stablecoins, RWA, and BTCFi narratives, has attracted a broader range of developers and long-term users, with a much larger number of ecosystem projects than Sui, but slightly less active funds.
• Funds and Ecosystem: The scale and liquidity of DeFi assets in the Sui ecosystem are experiencing explosive growth, with TVL of multiple projects exceeding $100 million; Aptos, with 187 ecosystem projects, is firmly in the first place in the Move track, covering multiple areas such as DeFi, RWA, cross-chain infrastructure, and the ecosystem layout is more diverse.
• Users and Scenarios: Sui attracts a large number of retail users with extreme performance and low-threshold interaction, while Meme coins, chain games, and social applications contribute core traffic; Aptos relies on a robust developer ecosystem and extensive infrastructure support to continue attracting emerging narrative projects such as RWA and BTCFi, leading in user retention and developer stickiness.
• Token Performance: In 2024, the SUI token has seen a nearly 500% increase within the year, repeatedly reaching new highs, reflecting the market's sustained optimism towards the expansion of the Sui ecosystem and its financial performance; in contrast, the APT price has seen moderate growth, failing to surpass historical highs, reflecting the ongoing process of the market's recognition of the value of the Aptos ecosystem.
• Future Outlook: As representatives of the dual-hero pattern, Sui and Aptos will engage in long-term competition around user growth, developer competition, fund attractiveness, and ecological expansion. In the future, there is still a vast growth space in the Move track. The fund magnet effect of Sui and the ecological infrastructure expansion of Aptos may become the key variables determining the future pattern.
• Move track value potential: From the legacy of Diem to an independent public chain, from financial infrastructure to diversified ecosystem construction, the Move language-driven public chain innovation is gradually unleashing its potential. Whether it is Sui's ultimate performance track or Aptos's diversified ecological layout, they both demonstrate the unique value evolution path of the Move public chain.
