Use cases and ecosystem
- DeFi and on-chain trading: DEXs, liquidity, stablecoins, lending and tools tracking volumes or fees depending on available applications.

Consensus and security
Sui relies on a proof-of-stake validator model. Security depends on stake distribution, governance, Move contracts, network operators and protocol parameters.
Fees and performance
Fees and performance depend on network activity, transaction type and applications used. Real-world conditions should be checked with official tools or explorers at time of use.
