2026 will be Sui's best year Mysten Labs' understanding of the market and technology is still too advanced. Just finished reading Sui's 2026 plan, it can be summarized as: serving three major trends and solving one major problem. 1/Three major trends The first major trend - privacy Privacy is not just icing on the cake, but a prerequisite for large-scale adoption. Imagine if every transaction were publicly visible, users' financial lives would become public ledgers, making it impossible to achieve large-scale adoption of payments, payroll, savings, or commercial activities. The biggest breakthrough for Sui in 2026 is the introduction of privacy transactions as protocol level native functionality. It makes stablecoins truly operate like cash. Enterprises can make payments to suppliers without exposing profit margins, and consumers can consume without being monitored for every purchase behavior. The second major trend - stablecoin payments Stablecoins are evolving from a cryptocurrency asset to a true monetary infrastructure, and this process is only getting faster. In 2026, Sui will achieve free stablecoin transfers. It sounds simple, but the impact is enormous: On chain purchases no longer require worry about transaction fees Cross border remittance achieves true zero cost Small payment scenarios become feasible on blockchain By allocating the cost of stablecoin transfers to the overall operation of the network, Sui is actually paving the way for large-scale payments. When there are no longer frictional costs in payment, the entire business model will be restructured. The third major trend - AI agents In essence, the history of the Internet is a history of automation devouring manual processes. Sui's technological architecture is inherently suitable for AI agents: Sub second level confirmation enables AI to make real-time decisions Parallel execution supports large-scale automated operations The object model simplifies smart contract interaction Talus' decision to build its Nexus AI framework on Sui is not accidental. As software becomes increasingly adept at "completing tasks," they need to: transfer value, execute permissions, and prove what has happened. Sui's architecture is designed specifically for this future. 2/A major challenge In the past, developers needed to jump between different tools: using IPFS for storage, finding third-party authentication, and relying on other chains for computation. In 2026, Sui Stack will completely change this situation. Full Stack: One SDK covers all requirements for storage, encryption, computation, authentication, and execution. Native collaboration: All components work together natively, not simply pieced together. The result is that developers can focus on product logic rather than infrastructure integration. 3/Conclusion In 2026, these four trends will converge perfectly on Sui. Privacy makes institutions dare to enter, free transfers make the payment economy possible, AI agents make automation a reality, and unified tools make development simple. When the infrastructure is mature enough, the explosion of the application layer is an inevitable result.
