SUI\u2019s TVl is up 290% in two months.<\/p>\n
Stardust, a blockchain gaming infrastructure provider, has integrated with the surging Layer 1 network, Sui, to streamline the process for developers launching web3 games on the network.<\/p>\n
Announced on Feb. 15, Stardust expanded onto Sui via a partnership with Mysten Labs, a web3 infrastructure firm that originally developed Sui. Stardust\u2019s tooling seeks to eliminate many of the technical hurdles associated with deploying games onto Sui.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s announcement marks a significant advancement for Sui\u2019s gaming ecosystem by improving the developer onboarding process,\u201d Stardust said. \u201cStardust\u2019s infrastructure tools reduce the barrier to entry for developers to deploy games directly onto the Sui platform. This allows them to prioritize creating compelling and fun gaming experiences rather than dealing with difficult technical processes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sui will integrate support for Sui into its wallets-as-a-service platform and user acquisition tools to improve the user experience for gamers interacting with Sui-based applications.<\/p>\n

The news follows a recent meteoric rise for Sui. <\/p>\n
The network\u00a0launched<\/a>\u00a0on mainnet last May after Mysten Labs completed a\u00a0$300B<\/a>\u00a0Series B funding round at a $2B valuation in September 2022 and a $36M Series A round in December 2021.<\/p>\n The total value locked in Sui-based protocols currently stands at $588M after growing 290% from $150M in mid-December, ranking it as the tenth-largest smart contract network according to DeFi Llama. Sui\u2019s eight-largest DeFi protocols have all grown by between 52% and 126% over the past 30 days.<\/p>\n The price of SUI is also up 190% over the same period, according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n The web3 gaming sector has similarly outperformed in recent months.
