Sui Builder House: APAC – Hands-on with Slush: Your Gateway to the Sui Ecosystem

Summary

  • Sui Ecosystem: The speaker actively promotes building and transacting on the Sui blockchain, showcasing wallet setup, swaps, transfers, and app connections.
  • DeFi: Extensive walkthrough of decentralized finance use-cases on Sui, including swapping tokens, depositing into protocols, and navigating integrated dApps within the Slush Wallet.
  • On-Chain Lending: Demonstrates using the Swelland lending protocol, reviewing deposit/borrow APRs and a leverage-based strategy to improve yields to around 10%.
  • Crypto Staking: Discusses staking SUI for 3–5% yields and shows staking the Walrus (WAL) token via validator selection to make assets “work harder.”
  • Tools Highlighted: Slush Wallet is the core interface; Swelland is used for lending strategies; Walrus staking app is accessed for token staking. No public equities or tickers were pitched.
  • Yield Optimization: Presenter emphasizes a looped SUI/staked-SUI strategy with leverage to enhance returns versus simple deposits, framed as operationally easy for users.
  • Opportunities and Risks: Opportunities include higher on-chain yields and simple UX; leverage is promoted as lower-risk in this setup, though the presenter notes nothing is certain.
  • Overall Perspective: Strongly bullish on Sui-based DeFi adoption and throughput, highlighting speed (QR airdrops, swaps) and ease-of-use for broader user engagement.

Go. All right. All right, everyone. Thanks for being here. Thanks for coming. I know it's been a long exciting week of SU and Soul and I'm just so happy to be on stage today. Today's presentation is going to be a little different than what you're used to. Who here wants some free sweet? Raise your hand if you want some free sweet. All right, so those of you on the side, you're going to want to come over here because everyone is going to be able to get some free sweet. So those of you over here, we're going to need to come over here and you're going to need to pay very close attention because everyone here today is going to have an opportunity to get a lot of sweet right here right now. So the first thing we need to do is bring me up on here. How many of you guys have heard of Slush? Slush. Raise your hand if you've heard of Slush before. Slush. Awesome. It is my favorite wallet built on suite. It's not the only one, but it's my favorite one. and I'm going to show you guys how to use it today. But in order to get your suite, we're going to have to download this app. So, if you do not have this app, please go ahead, take out your phone, scan either the one QR code on the left if you have iOS, QR code on the right if you have an Android, and download the app. Download the app, open it, and then you can create an account. You're going to want to make sure you create an account before what happens next. Download the app. create an account. You can create one with your email address. You could sign in using ZK login, using Google. I believe you can do Meta. You can do Discord. You can do a bunch of different things. So, get in where you fit in. People good. You got the app downloaded, people. This gentleman's ready to rock and roll. All right. Yeah, this guy's right in front. I like that. Cool. People got the app downloaded. Do you have an account created? People have an account created. Awesome. Okay. You're gonna want to be fast because what happens next is going to happen fast and those that are the fastest will reap the most rewards. The early bird gets the worm. Are people ready? Okay. Scan this QR code and you will get sweet. Oh, I see. I like this guy. Yes. See this gentleman? His assertiveness here. This is what we want. If you're over on the side, you're going to want to come into the middle. You can fill in right here in the gap right here. Scan this and you should be able to claim some sui. If you're not fast enough, you're not going to be able to get it. Who was able to claim some sui? Raise your hand if you got some sui. Cool. People were able to get it. People were able to get it. Who here wants more? People like sui. All right. Okay. Were you guys fast enough on this side? Probably not, but we have a little bit more. If you missed it on this time around, let's go ahead and try it again. Go ahead, scan this. All right. I like to see all the phones up. I see it. You guys look like professional QR code scanners. Go ahead and claim it. Smash those buttons. Claim it. Claim it. And let's see where you end. Who was able to claim it twice? Wow. You guys see you guys are the best students right here in the front. I like this guy's smile. Beautiful smile, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Young lady in the back over there. Beautiful smile. She's standing up. Nice. Awesome. All right. Who here wants even more sweet? All right. Okay. Now, people are getting it. People are getting it. One more time. Be ready. Let's see how fast you are. Okay. Go ahead and scan that QR code. Yes. I see these people on the side are enthusiastic. Okay. Scan that. And you're going to want to pay attention because throughout this entire presentation, you will have more chances to claim sweet. Who was able to claim it? Three times. Three time. How much sui did you get? >> 20. 20. Wow. 12. 12 is how much they got. Well, we're going to be able to give out four, five. We might even give out 20. 25. Maybe we'll give a hundred depending on how generous we're feeling today. All right, folks. So, everyone now has slush wallet. And now you have some sweet. This is going to be a live demo where I show you how to do a bunch of different things. So, everyone see my screen? This is literally going to be a live demo. Let me pull it up to the center here. All right, let's be honest. Show hands. How many of you all you do is buy and sell crypto? That's all you do. All right, we got a few people. Who here has done anything in DeFi? Who here has done DeFi stuff? All right, so we got some DeFi DeFi pros. For those of you that are relatively new, I'm going to show you how you can do all of this in Slush. Now, today's demo is going to be on the mobile app, but Slush is also offered as an extension and on the web. So, if you're whatever you're doing on your phone today, you'll be able to do online and as a Chrome extension if that's what you want to do. So, let's go ahead and open the app. This is what it looks like. Everyone should be able to see this. Let's go step by step. Let's start with the basics. If you click over to this little guy right here, you should be able to see your accounts. If you wanted to, you can rename and nickname your account so you keep it nice and organized. So, I'm just going to go ahead and nickname this one my name Rainineer. Cool. You guys can go ahead and save your account name Rainineer as well. Save it as rer. go ahead and save it so that way you remember me after today. All right, so that's the very basic things in this settings screen. You can do a bunch of different things, but we're just going to work around start with the basics. You can go light mode, you can go dark mode, anything you want. Go ahead and pick a color that you like and we'll keep going. Let's start getting into more advanced stuff. So, let's go ahead and click over to the main screen here. The one with the stack of coins on your left. This is your bag. It shows you your coins. It shows you all of this stuff here. At the very top is your total balance. This field on the left, it says coins. It shows you the amount of coins in your wallet. And then, if you have any investments in DeFi protocols, it'll show up under investments. As you can see, I don't have anything yet because this is a blank slate. and we are going to start with it fresh today. One of the first things I want to be able to show you how to do is how to swap. As you guys know, there's a plethora of tokens in the SU ecosystem. So, we're going to go ahead and click the swap button. You should see swap right there. And I'm going to take some. Let's just go ahead and do one. You guys have lots of now, but let's go ahead and just do this for practice. You're going to select your coin. And now you can pick any coin you want. You can search for any coin in the ecosystem. I'm going to go ahead and search for the wall token here. All right. So, I'm going to search for the wall token. Click on that. Yeah. Who's a fan of Walrus? Make some noise if you're a Walrus fan here. All right. Yeah. The data layer for the AI era. I love it. So, we're going to go ahead and swap one suite. You can see here it shows you what your slippage is and your exchange loss. We are deeply integrated so that we are pulling the best rates for you from within Slush Wallet itself. Super easy, super fast. And I'm gonna go ahead and swap that. All right, done. The swap happened faster than I could even load the screen. Cool. Who was able to successfully swap? Let me see it. All right, nice. Okay, now I'm going to show you how easy it is to send tokens to people. Let's say you want to send some tokens to a friend. Let's say you want to send it to a family member. Really, really easy. Today, we're going to do it as a QR code. So, as you can see here, there's this little airplane button, send. I'm going to go ahead and tap that, and I'm going to click it as a claimable slush link here at the bottom. Let me pull that up. Claimable slush link. Okay. Now, I'm going to select my assets that I want to give away. I want to give away some sui. And let's go ahead and give away 10 sui. I'm going to click that and I'm going to add it. Okay. Now, you can see it's confirming I want to send 10. I'm going to go ahead and create the link. Done. Somebody scan that QR code. Who's going to claim it? Who got it? Raise your hand if you got it. This gentleman got it. Lightning fast. All right, we're going to do a couple of more of these throughout the entire pres. So, don't worry if you didn't get it. You'll get it soon. So, you saw how easy it is to send someone some sweet. Lightning fast. Just a few clicks. Bada bing, bada boom. Now if you wanted to receive some sui, you would just click receive and somebody can now scan your QR code and they can send you some sui. Somebody send me some sui. If you send me some sui after this presentation, you show me that you sent it to me. We'll look in the transaction history and I will triple the amount that you sent me. So go ahead and send me some sui. Let's send it. Send it. Scan my QR code. Send me some sui. And afterwards, let's see if we can make you rich. All right. So, you got my code. Raise your hand if you sent some sui over to me. Send some sweet. Come find me, sir. You look like a trustworthy person. I believe you. Come find me. Who else sent some sui? Anybody else? You. You. You look very trustworthy as well. Uh, that person in the back looks less trustworthy, but come find me, and we'll go ahead and hook you up. All right. So, we learned how to swap. We learned how to send. We learned how to receive. All very basic, all very simple, fast and easy. Let's learn how to do some more advanced stuff. How many people like money? Raise your hand if you like money. Stupid question, right? Everybody likes money. How many of you want to make your money work harder for you? Raise your hand. If you like it, when you make money, it's easier to make money. Yes. Thank you, sir. So normally when you do some things like on suite, you can stake your suite, you can stake your tokens, and you'll earn, I don't know, anywhere from 3 to 5% yield depending on where you're doing it. Today, I'm going to show you how to interact with a DeFi protocol on suite. It's one of my favorite protocols. I've tried a bunch of them. I like them all, but this one is one that I've been using lately because it's quite easy to do. So, first thing we want to do is we want to go to the piggy bank tab. That is the tab right next to the coins tab. So go ahead and click that piggy bank. And this is a shortcut to access the D5 protocols on SUI. This is how we're going to do it. It opens up a browser. And you will see that D5 protocol immediately show. So let's go ahead and click on Swelland. It's the one here at the top that looks like the yinyang. Let's go ahead and click on that one. Brings Swelland up. Now the first thing we want to do is to connect our wallet. We want to give Swelland permission to interact with us on our wallet. So, at the very top, you click that connect button. It's bright blue. And then click on Slush, which should be already installed on your device. Click on it and go ahead and select the wallet that you want and approve. All right. Now, we are connected. Now, if you haven't interacted with a D5 protocol before, it's actually quite simple. You put in money, you make more money. Simple as that. All right. So, as you can see, Swelland displays my wallet balances here. I have some, I have some deep, I have some wall, I have some NS. Now, if you keep scrolling down, you can see what the market borrow and lending rates are like. Swend is a lending protocol. You can lend money to others and you could borrow money for yourself if that's what you want to do. So you can see that for SUI the deposit APR if I were to put SUI into this protocol I would earn a 3% yield on it. If I were to borrow SUI I could borrow SUI at almost a half a percent yield. But even though that's pretty good there's a couple of ways and a couple of things we could do to make this even better. So we're not going to do the deposit today. What we're going to do is we're going to do what's called a Swelland strategy. Now, this is a feature that just came out. They just launched it a few weeks ago and they are absolutely crushing it. Now, this is one of those things where you use leverage and most of the time leverage, that word scares me. But there is a strategy here that essentially reduces risk tremendously. So, your odds of losing your money go almost to zero. Of course, nothing in life is certain, but this is a pretty safe thing to engage with. So you're going to click the hamburger icon in the upper right and you're going to click the second one down called strategies. Go ahead and click that strategies. And because everyone here has some sui now the strategy we are going to employ is this spring strategy. So go ahead and click that. And this is effectively how this strategy works. You are working with SUI and staked SUI and they are borrowing against each other and creating an infinite loop. It's kind of like Michael Sailor's Bitcoin's infinite money glitch. Kind of like that except it's the real deal. So what we're going to do is we're going tohead and click and we're going to deposit some amount of some people have up to 12. For the sake of this exercise, I'm just going to go ahead and get four suite in here. And as you can see here, this little cursor along slides the leverage up and down again because this strategy is effectively risk-free. You don't have to worry about the leverage. So, we're just going to max it out. So, the max leverage that we have here is 3x and the yield now that we get from this strategy is 10%. So, we could have just lent lend our sui and deposited that. But by employing this strategy which requires just two or three extra clicks, we are able to increase our yield by almost 3x. All right. So we're going to go ahead and four and we are going to deposit for sui. Now you see the transaction request. Yeah, you always want to check the transactions. This all is stuff that I easily understand. I'm sure all of this makes sense to you too. If not, it's fine. Just blindly trust that it works and click approve. All right. Who was able to successfully deposit in this relent strategy? Raise your hand. Awesome. Big round of applause for yourself. Congratulations. Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen. All right. So, this is just one of the many things that you can do in the DeFi ecosystem. There's a ton of apps that you can leverage on suite depending on what you want to do. I showed you this DeFi strategy that I like today just because it's simple, it's easy, and anyone can do it. All right. So, let's go ahead and X out of here and just go to the app a little bit more and have some fun. So, go ahead and click that X in the upper right and let's go ahead and click on this picture emoji on the menu at the very bottom. If you were to have any NFTts, they would show up here. Obviously, this is a new wallet for me, so I don't have any NFTts right now. And then if you click onto that compass, you can see all the different apps that you've already connected to as well as explore additional apps that you may want to explore. So you could see all the apps are listed here. Not every app on SU is listed here, just most of the top most popular ones. And you can click through if you want to do DeFi, if you want ones that are related to walrus, if you want to play some games, if you want to do some bridging, you can just click through and see which ones are available to you. So I just showed you the one with Swelland. I'm going to show you one more thing because not a lot of people know about this. You can stake walrus token. So uh what we did was we converted some sweet to wall but if you didn't do it the first time around let's do it again just to be fast. So swap some. I'm going to go ahead and swap five sui. I'm going to select my coin. Tap on that. I'm going to search for wall token. It's already there. Got the wall token. Boom. All right. Swapped it. Done. Super fast. Maybe you don't want to swap the wall token. Let me just give you some claimable slush link. I'm going to edit my coins. I don't want I want wall. This one will be oneu. And let me go ahead and give somebody 10 wall. Boom. Sweet and wall. I can airdrop you some tokens in a single link. I'm creating the link. Someone's going to go ahead and scan it. Whoever is the fastest to do it will claim it and go ahead and claim it. All right. Who was able to claim it? Who got it? Who got Who got this one here? Nobody claimed it yet. Everybody claimed it. Somebody get it. Okay, somebody got it. So, now we all have some wall. You either swapped it or you claimed it to the wall that I gifted to you. Let's go ahead and learn how to stake our wall token. You're going to click on that compass icon in the very bottom here. All right. Now, we're going to go down. You could see Walrus staking this app second from the top. Go ahead and click that. Like any other app we interact with, we want to connect our wallet first. So, let's go ahead and connect our wallet. Going to select slush. It's going to say, "Hey, do you approve? Do you trust this application?" I'm going to go ahead and approve it. And now I am connected. Now to stake my wallet to make my money work harder for me. All I got to do is scroll down and I will choose a validator that I want to stake it to. Any one of these are fine. I just trust them all blindly. It's totally fine. So I'm going to go ahead and stake. And I'm going to say I'm going to stake all of the wall that I got. Going to go ahead and click the stake button here at the very bottom and approve. All right. So, in this very quick demo today, we all got a slush wallet. So, now you have no excuse to interact with the SU ecosystem. We all got some. You got a little bit more money in your pocket today than you came here with. We learned how to interact with some of the DeFi protocols on our system. Walrus staking as well as Swend. All the other D5 protocols are very similar, easy to figure out. We learned how to swap. We learned how to send. We learned how to receive. And so all of that in about a 15inute presentation. That's all the time I have for today. Thank you guys so much. But before I go, who wants more sweet? >> All right, let's go ahead and send a little bit more. I'm just going to pump these links out. So get ready. We're going to create it. Let me send. You guys might have broken my app. Let's see. Let's see if we can get some more. All right. I'm going to give somebody 50. 50U. Is that enough? 50U. All right. More. All right. I'm going to pump it up. 51. Let's go. Let's create this link. Look how fast it is to send money. This is like as just as fast if not faster than Venmo, Cacao Pay, all of that. Go ahead and claim that. Who got it? Who was able to get it? >> All right, let's do it one more time. Let's go ahead and do it one more time just cuz we can. All right. Okay. I was told that's all the time I got for today, but thank you everyone. It's been a pleasure. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of event. We got two more amazing talks to close us out today. Please stay tuned. And then we're going to have networking immediately after. So, thanks again, folks.
