- SUI outperformed SOL on key fronts.
- Some market commentators believe its growth could derail SOL.
Sui (SUI) seems ready to gnaw Solana (SOL) market share amid massive growth on key fronts.
On October 5, the Layer 1 platform exceeds Solana on the number of transactions. It completed over 58 million transactions, while Solana executed 35 million on the same day.
SUI’s Aggressive Growth
Reacting to the growth, Adeniyi Abiodun, one of the Sui initiates, said,
“Without transaction failures, without sandwich attacks and with exchanges always sub-second! »
However, SUI has also seen notable growth on other fronts. At press time, it also exceeded Solana’s throughput, reaching 756 transactions per second (tps), while SOL recorded 726 tps.
Most notable traction was also noted for Ethereum-based outflows and average costs. SUI’s weekly Ethereum outflows totaled $55 million, while SOL lost $69 million during the same period.
When it comes to usage fees, SUI has proven to be a cheaper alternative to Solana. Its average fee was $0.00018, compared to SOL’s $0.0044. In short, SUI checked all the boxes that made Solana a better alternative to Ethereum (ETH).
In a way, some market commentators have viewed its aggressive traction as a threat to the domination of Solana. Some even doubt whether SOL could reach $1,000 amid Sui’s massive growth.
Interestingly, the traction was also visible on the price charts. The SUI/SOL ratio, which tracks the relative performance of SUI versus SOL, has been steadily increasing since August.

It increased by +200%, from 0.003 to 0.013, highlighting the price rally of SUI. At press time, SUI price consolidated below $2 and was on the verge of price discovery.
However, SOL’s TVL (total value locked) has eclipsed that of SUI. SOL increased $5.5 billion in TVL compared to SUI’s $1 billion, highlighting that more investors were still parked in the Solana network.
