What’s new? The Sui blockchain team has launched a hub in Dubai that will act as an incubator for blockchain developers and entrepreneurs. Partnered with local blockchain company Ghaf Group for the launch, the hub aims to support innovative startups and help the government with digitalization initiatives. According to Kostas Chalkias, the co-founder of Sui Mysten Labs, a network of hubs will be established in regions around the world in the future.

What else is known? Chalkias noted that despite a comfortable regulatory environment, Dubai is currently a leader in blockchain development, and Sui’s initiative aims to change that.

Mysten Labs intends to invest in the region. Chalkias said the company’s hub is capable of rapidly creating smart contract solutions and conducting Proof of Concept (PoC) for the government.

Dubai attracts Web 3.0 players with its friendly regulations and clear licensing rules. The largest centralized exchanges (CEXs) such as Binance, Crypto.com, and OKX, among others, have permits to operate in the local market.

Sui is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain created by former Meta employees. In February 2024, it overtook Cardano, Near, and Aptos networks in terms of total value locked (TVL).

Many experts see Sui as a major competitor to the Solana network, which also offers high scalability, and note that it could become more popular.
