Evan Cheng, co-founder of the Sui blockchain, predicts that within four years every digital payment on the internet will run through the Sui network. The claim is backed by the network's 2026 numbers, which show $65 billion moved for free. Mysten Labs is the development entity behind Sui.
The $65 billion milestone
The $65 billion figure represents the total value of transactions processed on Sui without any fees. That's a key metric for Cheng's vision of a fee-less payment layer for the entire internet. The network's 2026 performance already demonstrates the capacity to handle massive volumes at zero cost.
Why the prediction matters
Cheng's forecast is not just a vague ambition. The 2026 numbers provide concrete evidence that Sui can scale. The network's ability to move $65 billion for free suggests it could handle the volume of global internet payments. Mysten Labs, the development entity, has built a platform that processes transactions without charging users.
The prediction sets a clear target: within four years, Sui aims to be the underlying network for all digital payments online. The 2026 numbers are a starting point. The network will need to continue scaling and attracting adoption from payment providers and users. Cheng's forecast gives the network a four-year window to achieve that goal.
