What is the SUI token, and why has it come under the crypto spotlight recently?

Sui Network, a Layer 1 blockchain, has been gaining traction in the community as it approaches its mainnet launch scheduled for May 3. Sui Network’s native token, SUI, will be issued on multiple crypto exchanges, including OKX, Kucoin, and Bybit, once it goes live on mainnet.

The SUI token is expected to play an important role in the blockchain ecosystem, including participating in PoS consensus, staking, and on-chain voting for protocol upgrades. While the token’s primary utility will be to pay for gas fees, it will also have more advanced use cases, such as enabling governance, paying for transaction processing, and participating in DeFi activities.

🎮 Over 7,000 Players Successfully Converged in YUGA LABS' Otherside Metaverse 'Second Trip'

Thousands of NFT holders joined the gamified experience last weekend, showing glimpses of what’s to come from the virtual world launching later this year.

🔶 Tripping out 🍭

From the start, the experience was designed to transport players into a sci-fi fantasy world that combined elements of popular MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) and NFT culture.

Users began the trip by entering the “Infinity Space,” an empty arena where voyagers could familiarize themselves with controlling their avatars and sending messages to other players. Voyagers were able to gather in small groups and speak to each other directly – a feature meant to mimic a “real life event,” in which players could only talk and hear others when in close proximity.

👥 Players were placed into teams & transported to their team area to complete tasks and earn points. The game involved several wacky directives, including gathering “magic blobs” to give to digital toads that shot flames from their mouths. All the while, voyagers could run, jump, fly and explore the multidimensional space.

🏆🎁 The winners of the game received “winged helmets” that Yuga Labs said would be airdropped to their wallets.

🔸 SHOWING PROMISE!

While some existing metaverse experiences are paired with poor graphics, lagging speeds and virtual spaces that are difficult to navigate, Otherside’s user experience was relatively robust and easy to use in comparison.
Notably, the experience was incredibly detailed and didn’t appear to have widespread congestion issues despite thousands of players converging on the space at once.
Feedback from players was generally positive, with many sharing optimism for the future of the platform.
