In the bustling heart of Seoul, where the neon lights flicker like the dreams of a thousand hopefuls, Christian Thompson, the Managing Director of the Sui Foundation, found himself in a conversation that felt as grand as the mountains surrounding the city. A man of many hats, he once danced with the giants at Meta, steering the ship of blockchain security for the Libra/Diem project. With over three decades of experience, he’s a blend of entrepreneur, lawman, and visionary.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the city, Thompson shared tales of SUI’s triumphs in 2024 and the ambitious dreams that lay ahead in 2025. Among these dreams was the birth of SuiPlay0X1, a gaming console that promised to bridge the chasm between the old world of Web2 and the new frontier of Web3. He spoke of Korea, a land of innovation, as the cornerstone of SUI’s global ambitions, where the past and future collide in a dance of technology and culture. And oh, the lessons learned from the tumultuous waters of Meta’s Libra project—those were stories worth telling.
So, how do you rate SUI’s performance in 2024, and what’s the grand vision for 2025?
Ah, 2024 was a year of trials, a crucible of sorts, where we tested our mettle and ensured our technology could withstand the storms. We saw our DeFi TVL swell to $1.75 billion, and in a mere three months, it blossomed to $2 billion. DEX volume soared to $35 billion, and our gaming wallets danced to the tune of 300,000 daily users. But for 2025, we’re not just dipping our toes; we’re diving headfirst into the marketing ocean, rallying an army of developers to usher in a new era of Web3 adoption.
SuiPlay0X1 is a landmark in gaming hardware. What sparked this audacious venture, and how does it fit into your grand gaming strategy?

Seoul was your chosen stage for this Asia tour, and SUI is making waves at Korea Blockchain Week. What makes Korea such a pivotal player in your global strategy?
Korea is a vibrant tapestry of innovation. The retail community here is not just interested; they’re deeply engaged in crypto, making them savvy and well-informed. The developer community mirrors this enthusiasm, having been steeped in technology for years. Partnering with a nation that stands at the forefront of tech is like striking gold. The gaming industry here is a marvel, pushing boundaries and redefining possibilities.
Looking beyond Korea, which regions do you see rising as new hubs of innovation?
The UAE is leading the charge, attracting Web3 businesses with its favorable regulatory climate. Vietnam is a hotbed of developer talent, making strides that are hard to ignore. Greece boasts an educational system that churns out capable builders by the dozen. And in Africa, the people are remarkably quick to embrace new technologies, especially in the realm of commerce through chat platforms.
