Sui Unlocks 13.15 Million SUI Worth $12.11 Million on November 1

13.15 Million SUI Enter Circulation on November 1

The Sui network will release 13.15 million SUI into circulation on Sunday, November 1, the next installment in the layer-1 blockchain's monthly unlock schedule. Vesting-schedule data values the tranche at roughly $12.11 million and puts it at 0.32% of the coin's circulating supply, which stands at 4.12 billion SUI against a total supply of 10 billion. The release follows a fixed monthly cadence rather than a one-off cliff, so similar tranches have landed at the start of earlier months and will continue under the same schedule. Each installment moves locked tokens into the tradable float, meaning 13.15 million additional SUI become transferable to their holders on the published date. Sui itself is a high-performance layer-1 network built on the Move programming language, designed to run decentralized applications, known as DApps, at scale without giving up security or efficiency. Its design centers on parallel execution: transactions that do not conflict are processed at the same time rather than in sequence, which is where the chain's throughput gains come from. Move adds strict rules over how digital assets are created, stored and transferred, narrowing a class of smart-contract errors. Both choices target predictable behavior under load, the property these applications need when transaction volume spikes. The network's throughput claims have been tested publicly: a CertiK-verified benchmark at Basecamp 2026 recorded 40,614,180 transactions per second. On the application layer, Sui Agent Pass caps losses from leaked AI agent keys at user-set limits, and Coinbase's latest quarterly results listed SUI among its traded assets. The unlock figures come from tokenomics tracker Tokenomist, which marks the Sui, Collector Crypt and Kamino releases as pending verification, so the amounts remain projections until they are confirmed on-chain.

Early Contributors Take the Largest Share

Most of the 13.15 million SUI heading into circulation on November 1 goes to insiders. Early contributors are due 7.08 million tokens and the community reserve 4 million, while the Mysten Labs treasury, the development company behind the network, receives 2.07 million. Under the published schedule, early contributors hold the largest single allocation among the three recipients, at more than half the tranche. That split matters because insider-held allocations are the portion traders watch once tokens become transferable. The date lands inside a crowded unlock calendar. Scheduled releases for the final week of October 2026 carry a combined value above $730.1 million, spread across several projects, with Sui's own tranche landing on November 1 at the tail of that stretch. Collector Crypt (CARDS) unlocks 59.26 million CARDS on Thursday, October 29, an amount estimated at $17.57 million that equals 9.60% of its circulating supply of 617.47 million tokens out of a 2 billion total. The project runs a Solana-based marketplace where users buy, trade and exchange tokenized collectible cards held in the platform's storage vaults, and CARDS serves as its native token. Kamino Finance (KMNO) follows on Friday, October 30 with 229.17 million KMNO worth about $9.69 million, equal to 2.73% of its 8.40 billion circulating supply out of 10 billion total. Kamino is a DeFi protocol on Solana specialized in borrowing, lending and liquidity provision. Its unlocked supply is split with 145.83 million KMNO going to key stakeholders and advisors and 83.33 million to core contributors. Beyond those three, the calendar lists further releases from EigenCloud (EIGEN), Sahara AI (SAHARA) and Sign, each adding tokens available for spot trading once the lockup lifts. All three headline releases carry the same pending-verification flag in the published schedule, so their final amounts could shift.

Measured against that calendar, Sui's November 1 release is one of the smaller dollar-value events of the week. The estimated $12.11 million is a fraction of the $730.1 million aggregate, and a 0.32% addition to circulating supply dilutes far less than Collector Crypt's 9.60%. The distribution still matters at the margin: early contributors receive the largest share at 7.08 million tokens, and insider supply is the portion most often linked to post-unlock selling. The monthly cadence spreads that pressure across the year instead of concentrating it in a single cliff. As published, the schedule stays on that monthly rhythm, with 4.12 billion of the 10 billion total supply already circulating and the balance still to vest.
