The highly anticipated SUI token distribution via OKX Jumpstart is set to offer a unique opportunity for participants to engage with one of the most promising blockchain ecosystems. Originally scheduled for immediate token release, due to a delay in the SUI mainnet launch, tokens will now be allocated only after the mainnet goes live. All other participation rules remain unchanged. This update ensures transparency and prepares users for a seamless experience once the network is operational.
SUI is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain designed for scalability, low latency, and high throughput, built using the Move programming language. Its innovative object-centric architecture sets it apart from traditional account-based models, making it ideal for decentralized applications, gaming, and digital asset creation.

👉 Discover how OKB unlocks exclusive Web3 opportunities like early token access and lottery entries.
Participants must use their OKB holdings to enter a lottery-based allocation system. Your chances are determined by your average OKB balance during the three days prior to registration (April 20–22, 2023), with each OKB qualifying for up to 4 lottery tickets.
Additionally, a special Recognition Sale is available exclusively for verified contributors to the SUI ecosystem. Authorized users can purchase up to 1,500 SUI at $0.03 per token from a dedicated pool of 25 million SUI. These tokens will be fully unlocked upon mainnet launch.
Authorized users may also participate in the standard Jumpstart event between April 23 and May 1, 2023, using OKB to join the lottery. They will receive confirmation of eligibility directly within the OKX app under Jumpstart > Sui > Recognition Sale.
🎟️ How the Lottery System Works
The Jumpstart lottery model ensures fair and broad distribution while rewarding active community members.
Subscription Period
April 23, 2023, 02:00 UTC – April 24, 2023, 02:00 UTC
During this window, users can apply using OKB as payment. The number of tickets you receive depends on your average OKB balance from April 20 to April 22 (inclusive), calculated via daily snapshots.
Example:
If your daily balances were:
- April 20: 1.5 OKB
- April 21: 4.7 OKB
- April 22: 10.9 OKB
Your average = (1.5 + 4.7 + 10.9) / 3 = 5.7 OKB → rounded down to 5 OKB
You qualify for 5 × 4 = 20 lottery tickets
Each winning ticket grants 100 SUI at $0.10 each. Unsuccessful tickets result in full OKB refunds credited back to your Funding Account on the same day results are announced.
Winning Ticket Cap
To ensure equitable access, each user can win a maximum of 100 tickets (10,000 SUI total).
After the subscription period ends, OKX’s internal system will conduct a randomized draw. Winners will be notified through the event page, and allocations will be processed promptly.
📅 SUI Token Vesting Schedule
Due to the delayed mainnet launch, SUI tokens will not be distributed immediately following the sale.
Instead, distribution will follow a structured 12-month vesting schedule, starting once the SUI mainnet officially launches:
- First Disbursement: Immediately after mainnet goes live
- Subsequent Releases: 1/13 of remaining tokens unlocked monthly on the same date
- Automatic Credits: All unlocked SUI tokens will be deposited directly into users’ Funding Accounts
This gradual release supports long-term network stability and discourages immediate sell-offs, aligning incentives between early supporters and ecosystem growth.
✅ Participation Requirements
To qualify for the Jumpstart event, users must meet the following conditions:
- Complete Level 2 KYC verification on OKX
