The announcement , made on October 30, 2025, revealed that the airdrop aims to recognize community members who played a vital role in shaping SuiNS’s early governance.
Over 95,000 addresses receive staked governance tokens
According to SuiNS, over 95,000 eligible users have received approximately 7.6 million NS tokens, representing the combined reward pools from the last five governance proposals. Unlike traditional airdrops, recipients did not need to claim their tokens manually — they were automatically distributed as staked assets on the SuiNS voting portal.
This approach eliminates gas fees and minimizes phishing risks, ensuring a safer and more seamless reward process. Allocation was based on voting consistency, frequency, and the date of a voter’s earliest proposal, rewarding the earliest and most dedicated participants with higher governance weight.
Reinforcing governance and on-chain identity on Sui
Launched in 2024, Sui Name Service connects wallet addresses with human-readable “.sui” domains, forming the backbone of identity and governance within the Sui ecosystem. Beyond naming services, it supports DAO voting, organization pages, and decentralized user profiles.
The platform has also expanded through staking incentives, sub-name communities, and integrations with SuiPlay and Cetus Protocol, further embedding identity across the network’s ecosystem.
SuiNS emphasized that this latest airdrop is “just the beginning” of its mission to blend on-chain reputation, governance, and identity, paving the way for a community-driven digital identity framework on the Sui blockchain.
Meanwhile, Sui has rolled out suiUSDe, a synthetic stablecoin developed in collaboration with Nasdaq-listed SUI Group Holdings (SUIG) and Ethena Labs. The token positions Sui as the first non-EVM blockchain to issue a native, yield-generating stablecoin, underscoring its ambition to strengthen decentralized finance (DeFi) activity on the network.
