Singapore, Singapore, August 27, 2026 — The global Sui community is invited to Sui Basecamp 2026, held October 7–8 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore alongside TOKEN2049. The two-day program will feature product reveals, leading voices in AI, technical deep dives, hands-on demos, and a live attempt at a sustained transactions-per-second (TPS) record.

TOKEN2049 is among the largest annual conferences in the crypto industry, and its Singapore edition each year draws a global contingent of founders, investors, and traders to the city.

This year's program centers on the agentic economy: instant settlement, autonomous payments, private transactions, stable digital dollars, and post-quantum security. The framing tracks a broader shift across crypto and payments, where machine-initiated transactions and stablecoins — now supported by regulated frameworks in major jurisdictions — have become recurring industry themes.

Sui Basecamp is the Sui ecosystem's flagship annual gathering, bringing together the people building, investing in, and shaping what comes next on Sui. Over two days, founders, builders, developers, investors, traders, and industry leaders will come together for product reveals, technical deep dives, hands-on demos, and direct conversations with the people pushing the technology forward. Top-tier speakers from inside and outside the Sui ecosystem will offer a preview of what is coming next and a direct look at the infrastructure carrying finance onchain.

One conversation will loom especially large this year: the rise of the agentic economy. The next $5 trillion in transactions won't be human, the announcement states. Agentic finance needs rails that settle instantly, prove ownership and authorization, and keep transaction details private by default.

Hear From the Builders of the Agentic Future

What happens when you put a macro legend, the architects of Sui, an AI pioneer, a gaming visionary, and builders of the autonomous economy on the same stage? That is just the beginning of the Sui Basecamp lineup:

• Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision, has spent his career mapping where capital moves next and was early to the shift from traditional macro into digital assets.
• Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, is part of the team that came out of Meta's Diem project — the stablecoin initiative formerly known as Libra, wound down in early 2022 — and went on to build Sui and the infrastructure for the autonomous economy.
• Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer at Mysten Labs, works on the cryptographic foundations autonomous systems depend on, including Sui's push toward post-quantum security. He will also lead the Main Stage speed test.
• Hilmar Veigar Petursson, CEO of Fenris Creations and formerly CEO of CCP Games, spent more than two decades running one of software's longest-lived player-driven economies. He is bringing that experience onchain through EVE Frontier.
• Alex Mourfarek, Director of Inception at Google DeepMind, works at the intersection of frontier AI research and entrepreneurship, helping turn breakthrough ideas into ambitious new AI ventures.
• Jen Zhu Scott, Co-Founder and CEO of Power Dynamics, is building the cooling and energy storage infrastructure that AI relies on to scale.
• Brian Quintenez, Director of Sui Holdings Group and a former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is an expert on public policy and regulatory frameworks in crypto.
• Richard Socher, Co-Founder and CEO of Recursive and You.com, builds at the front edge of AI research and the evolution of intelligent software.

A Live Record Attempt on the Main Stage

On October 7, live on the Main Stage, Mysten Labs Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer Kostas Chalkias will push Sui to its absolute limit in a public, real-time speed test. The target is to break Sui's standing record of 6,086,766 transactions per second (TPS), recorded earlier this year on July 4th.

Attendees and viewers can participate live from Marina Bay Sands or anywhere in the world: submit a TPS prediction to compete for first-place (10,000 SUI), second-place (5,000 SUI), and third-place (1,000 SUI) rewards. Details will be announced by @SuiNetwork on X.

High throughput shows how much room the network has under real load, which is exactly what an economy of agents will demand, according to the announcement. The test is built to mirror those conditions: AI agents and users will transact across games, payments, and chat using programmable tunnels, producing the velocity expected when software transacts continuously and at machine speed.

Throughput figures have long been a point of comparison — and contention — among Layer 1 blockchains, with headline numbers frequently debated over testing methodology. To ensure total transparency, web3 security leader CertiK will serve as the independent auditor for the attempt. Every transaction will be logged in a cryptographic transcript for post-test verification and formal reconfirmation, providing proof that can be mathematically audited rather than simply observed. Following the attempt, attendees are invited to join a celebration on-site.

Get Hands-On at Sui Basecamp

Sui Basecamp is not only about what happens on stage. In the AI Builder Lab, attendees can get hands-on with the latest AI tools, join sessions led by teams building at the intersection of AI and Sui, and learn how to build AI-powered applications and agents themselves. The Trading Arena will host head-to-head battles between favorite traders live on Hudi, where viewers can watch their moves in real time. Whether attendees come to build or to try something new, Sui Basecamp is designed for active participation.

Sui Basecamp Brings Builders and Capital Together

Sui Basecamp is designed around what happens when the people building on Sui occupy the same space. This year, the people building the agentic financial stack — across protocols, wallets, payments, data infrastructure, AI systems, institutions, and applications — are converging on the same set of problems. Sui Basecamp puts them in one room for two days.

For those building at the intersection of technology and finance, investing in the machine-to-machine future, or trying to understand where the next generation of economic activity is headed, this is the room to be in, the organizers say.

"Economic activity is shifting from people clicking checkout buttons to agents transacting on their behalf, continuously and at machine speed," said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. "That only works when intent, authorization, and settlement can each be proven onchain. Sui Basecamp is the one place where every layer of that stack is in the same room, so you leave understanding the whole picture instead of one piece of it."

Sui Basecamp 2026 is sponsored by AlphaFi, EVE Frontier, and Walrus at the Diamond level; ONE Championship at Platinum; Slush at Gold; RedotPay at Silver; and Scallop, Anyflo, Merkle Science, and Sentio at Bronze.
