Sui’s Momentum DEX Ignites Cross-Chain Trading Revolution—Here’s Why It Matters

Sui’s Momentum DEX just flipped the script on decentralized trading—launching cross-chain swaps that could finally make multi-chain fragmentation a relic. No more bridging headaches, no more liquidity silos. Just one-click asset jumps across ecosystems.

The Cross-Chain Endgame

By integrating with Wormhole and LayerZero, Momentum DEX bypasses the clunky legacy of wrapped assets and middleman protocols. Traders can now short SOL with Sui-based leverage or ape into Ethereum DeFi yields without leaving the Sui ecosystem. Liquidity pools auto-rebalance across chains—because apparently, even DeFi got tired of tribal warfare.

VCs Are Circling

Insiders whisper the DEX’s TVL surged 300% pre-launch as market makers positioned for the cross-chain gold rush. Not bad for a protocol that—let’s be honest—launched in a bear market where most ‘innovations’ were just relabeled Ponzi schemes.

Sui’s bet? That traders will ditch chain maximalism faster than a dumped shitcoin. Whether this kills bridges or just gives them better lipstick, one thing’s clear: the walls between chains are crumbling. And the arbitrage bots are already feasting.

Wormhole, a leading cross-chain messaging protocol with over $60 billion in total multichain volume, recently launched its Native Token Transfers (NTT) on Sui. Momentum will be the first DEX to support these NTT-based assets, allowing users to move tokens easily between different blockchains. According to Dan Reecer of the Wormhole Foundation, this enables smoother cross-chain liquidity and helps Momentum attract new assets and users.

Momentum is also teaming up with GateToken (GT), MEXC Token (MX), and Bonk (BONK) to be among the first projects using Wormhole’s NTT system. The goal is to bridge tokens from Ethereum-compatible blockchains and Solana to Sui. Once bridged, these tokens will be listed on the Momentum DEX. This is expected to boost Total Value Locked (TVL) and bring more liquidity into the Sui ecosystem. The full launch of the bridge is planned for September 2025.

Momentum is partnering with OKX’s Cryptopedia, a learn-to-earn platform on the OKX Wallet. With a $1 million prize pool, it will feature sui projects like Momentum, xSUI, and xBTC, helping users explore and earn rewards. Momentum DEX, which launched in beta on March 31, has quickly grown to over $95 million in TVL, $4 billion in swap volume, and 450,000+ users in just 10 weeks.

The WAGMI Trading Competition runs from June 16 to September 8. Users can earn non-transferable points called “Bricks” by trading and adding liquidity on Momentum. These Bricks will later be converted into airdrop tokens during the Token Generation Event (TGE), which marks the final stage of Momentum’s launch plan.
