The Sui blockchain is rapidly growing based on a high-performance parallel structure and object-oriented architecture. At the center of this growth is Momentum Finance (@MMTFinance), which is evolving beyond a simple decentralized exchange (DEX) into a Financial Operating System (FOS) that sets a new standard for asset management.
Momentum's mission is simple yet ambitious.
"To enable everyone to trade any asset, anywhere."
To achieve this, Momentum is pushing forward an expansion roadmap centered around three pillars.
1๏ธโฃ Phase: Strengthening liquidity for Sui native assets
Integrating trading, staking, and treasury management of native assets like SUI and stSUI, serving as Sui's liquidity engine.
2๏ธโฃ Phase: Cross-chain expansion
Building a multi-chain liquidity hub through EVM and Solana integration based on Wormhole.
3๏ธโฃ Phase: RWA tokenization
On-chain transformation of real-world assets like securities and real estate to connect DeFi with traditional finance.
Under this mission, Momentum has established itself as the financial OS layer of Sui, going beyond DEX, and is creating an integrated infrastructure that supports trading, staking, treasury management, and launchpads all from a single interface.
Since its beta launch in March 2025, Momentum has achieved remarkable metrics.
Both trading volume and user metrics show overwhelming growth compared to other protocols within the Sui ecosystem, solidifying Momentum's leadership in the DeFi market.
The reason Momentum stands out is not just its trading efficiency but also its sustainable value circulation structure.
Through the ve(3,3) model, all protocol fees are distributed to users.
- MMT locking โ voting โ reward cycle
- 100% of trading fees are distributed to veMMT holders and LPs
- LPs of pools that receive votes can earn up to 400% additional emission bonuses
- Maintaining a user-centric ecosystem rotation without extracting from the protocol treasury
This mechanism aims for sustainable protocol maturity rather than short-term growth, and in fact, monthly fees increased from $6,000 in April to $94,000 in October, a 15-fold increase.
Momentum is not just a single DEX but an integrated DeFi hub for Sui.
It connects with over 20 protocols, including Navi, Scallop, Cetus, and Bluefin, and supports the issuance of stablecoins (AUSD, FDUSD, USDY).
Additionally, through the MSafe multi-sig-based treasury management feature, it manages over 35,000 wallets and performs custody and payment streaming of over $500M in assets.
Moreover, Buidlpad (@buidlpad) serves as Momentum's official community offering platform and is the key stage for the $MMT public sale.
On October 27-28, 2025, this sale will be conducted with a fair distribution structure by tier, and I believe it will mark the starting point for the expansion of the Momentum ecosystem beyond a simple token sale.
Momentum Finance is not just a liquidity platform but the financial nervous system of the Sui ecosystem.
With over $2 billion in transactions and a user base of millions, Momentum is evolving into a "next-generation financial operating system" that connects trading, staking, RWA, and institutional infrastructure.
The community sale on Buidlpad will be the signal for Momentum's expansion, and the journey towards a world where "everyone can trade any asset, anywhere" is now officially beginning.
Are you ready to join this journey?
In the cryptocurrency market, there are already hundreds of DEXs (decentralized exchanges). However, Momentum Finance (@MMTFinance), built on the Sui blockchain, is not just "another DEX."
Today, we will explore why Momentum Finance, which is set to have a sale on @buidlpad, uses the Move language.
After its beta launch on March 31, 2025, this project recorded a TVL of $558 million in just six months and reached third place among global DEXs with a daily trading volume of $1.1 billion. It was fundamentally built on a different technological philosophy.
In most programming languages, variables can be copied or deleted. For example, if you copy the code balance += 1000; twice, it becomes 2,000. But real money doesn't work that way. If I take out 1,000 won from my wallet, that money should no longer be in the wallet. The Move language implements this simple yet important concept at the language level.
A special data type called Resource cannot be copied and can only be explicitly moved. Just like physical currency, it can only move from one place to another and cannot be created or disappear out of thin air.
So why is this important?
Currently, the most widely used smart contract language, Solidity, does not have such constraints, so if a developer makes a mistake, they could mint tokens twice or permanently burn them.
In fact, many hacks in DeFi history have exploited such logical flaws, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. However, Move prevents such mistakes at the compilation stage, ensuring that hacks due to errors do not occur.
Momentum's CLMM contract consists of over 10,000 lines of Move code. Yet, in the audit conducted by Movebit in October 2025, no critical vulnerabilities were found. This is not a coincidence.
Move Prover has mathematically verified the following properties:
1. The issuance of LP tokens when adding liquidity exactly matches the mathematical formula.
2. Fees are never double-charged.
3. Position NFTs can only be withdrawn by the owner.
These properties are not just "passed tests" but have been proven to always be True for all possible input combinations.
Additionally, in October 2025, Momentum started a bug bounty program with HackenProof.
The reward system is:
- Critical (potential fund theft): $20,000 - $200,000
- High (logic errors, oracle manipulation): $2,000 - $20,000
- Medium (denial of service): $500 - $2,000
- Low (minor issues): $100 - $500
The maximum reward of $200,000 ranks among the top in DeFi protocols, demonstrating a serious investment in security.
As of now, the number of reported critical vulnerabilities is, of course, zero.
I believe the biggest threat to DEXs is exploits, and currently, Momentum Finance is working to bring this probability close to zero, and I think they are on the right track.
This might be the key reason why Momentum Finance uses the Move language.
To keep users' assets as safe as possible.
