Sui today announced the launch of gasless stablecoin transfers, a new protocol-level feature that enables users and businesses to send supported stablecoins peer-to-peer without paying gas fees or managing a separate SUI token balance.
That means stablecoin transfer fees are now $0.00 on the Sui network.
Gasless stablecoin transfers remove one of the biggest friction points in blockchain-based payments: the requirement to hold a separate gas token to move digital dollars onchain. Instead, supported stablecoins can function as standalone payment assets for wallet-to-wallet transfers, creating a simpler and more intuitive payment experience for users, enterprises, and developers.
“Stablecoins are becoming a core part of global finance, but the infrastructure around them still creates unnecessary complexity for users and businesses,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “With gasless stablecoin transfers, we are removing one of the biggest barriers in blockchain payments by eliminating the need to manage separate gas tokens. Payments should feel simple, predictable, and accessible to anyone using digital dollars onchain.”
The feature launches with support for stablecoins, including $USDsui, $SuiUSDe, $AUSD, $FDUSD, $USDB, $USDC, and $USDY.
Stablecoins are rapidly becoming core infrastructure for treasury operations, agentic commerce, and internet-native payments. Yet most blockchain networks still require users and businesses to manage secondary balances for gas fees, creating operational overhead and unnecessary onboarding friction. That ends today.
In a competitive market where margins are everything, the launch positions Sui as the default stablecoin infrastructure for businesses looking to cut complexity and overhead costs, traders who are tired of failed transactions or the friction of fees, and AI agents, who will objectively choose the cheapest path of least resistance to execute autonomous payments.
Gasless stablecoin transfers are powered by Address Balances, a new account-style balance system launching simultaneously on Sui Mainnet. Together, these upgrades simplify how value is stored and transferred onchain while preserving the speed and scalability required for high-volume payment systems. At launch, Address Balances will be supported by Fireblocks as part of Sui’s broader push to build infrastructure for scalable finance and global payments, with the adoption of gasless stablecoin transfers soon to follow
Sui continues to gain momentum as infrastructure for digital assets and internet-scale payments. Since August 2025, the network has surpassed $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume, while expanding its ecosystem across stablecoins, tokenized assets, and institutional finance initiatives.
The launch also positions Sui as the default destination for fintech builders, enterprises, and AI-native applications that require predictable, low or zero costs, and high-frequency payment flows. By eliminating the need to pre-fund wallets with gas assets, Sui simplifies payment infrastructure while enabling new categories of micropayment and agentic commerce applications.
Gasless stablecoin transfers are now rolling out on Sui Mainnet.
