SUI co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun has identified three infrastructure upgrades he believes are essential to onboarding the next billion users: zkLogin, gasless transactions, and private stablecoin payments. zkLogin allows users to sign in using web2 identities like Google or Apple without managing seed phrases, while gasless transactions let dApps or sponsors cover network fees. Private stablecoin payments could attract enterprises requiring compliance and confidentiality. The initiative reflects a broader industry shift toward consumer-friendly blockchain solutions, though actual adoption will depend on developer tools, liquidity, and regulatory clarity.
Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder of SUI, has listed three infrastructure upgrades that, per him, can bring a massive increase in blockchain usage in everyday society: zkLogin, gasless transactions, and private stablecoin payments.
Abiodun emphasized that eliminating friction and costs was essential to onboard the next billion users. He noted that zkLogin lets users sign in from web2 identities without keeping track of seed phrases, representing a “fundamental UX update” for SUI.
Combined with gasless transactions, where dApps or sponsors can cover fees, the setup removes two of the biggest hurdles for new users. From the developers’ perspective, this will prevent loss during wallet creation and first-time user experience, which has been a constant problem on L1s.
The third element is private stablecoin payments. With the growth of regulated stablecoins and organizations exploring on-chain treasury use cases, a privacy-preserving transfer mechanism at SUI might attract enterprises that need compliance and confidentiality. This reflects the broader industry drive toward tokenized dollars and payment solutions, where networks differentiate by speed, cost, and privacy.
SUI’s Move-based architecture is already geared toward high speed and scalability, but adoption success will depend on the availability of developer tools, liquidity factors, and clarity around privacy-related regulations. Investors and institutions will closely observe the integration of these features with wallets, payment providers, and stablecoin issuers in 2026.
