Other key features
Momentum DEX
Momentum DEX is a decentralized exchange built on the Sui blockchain using a concentrated liquidity model similar to Uniswap V3. This design allows liquidity providers to allocate capital in specific price ranges, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing slippage for traders.
The exchange uses the programmable transaction block (PTB) of Sui to batch actions such as swaps, adding liquidity, and staking into a single transaction to improve execution and reduce costs. Through cross-chain integration with Wormhole, a protocol that supports interactions, Momentum DEX enables trading across multiple networks while providing low transaction fees and advanced liquidity management tools for both individual and institutional users.
xSUI
xSUI is the liquidity stake token representing SUI staked within the Momentum ecosystem. When staking SUI through Momentum, you will receive xSUI to continue earning staking rewards while maintaining full liquidity.
xSUI can be used on applications DeFi such as lending markets, liquidity pools or as collateral, allowing you to earn extra profits without locking SUI. This approach helps lower the barriers to staking participation and enables everyone to earn rewards while maintaining the security of the Sui Network.
MSafe
MSafe is a multi-signature wallet designed to manage funds securely and vesting tokens on Move-based blockchains, including Sui, Aptos, and Movement. The wallet allows you to set up custom approval rules for transactions, adding an extra layer of security for moving funds and governance actions.
Organizations can use MSafe to lock, schedule, and release tokens through smart contracts on transparent chains, helping to mitigate risks associated with manual manipulation or centralized control. The wallet also connects with a curated decentralized application store (DApp) that allows teams to interact safely with DeFi protocols under multi-signature authorization.
Product launch schedule
Momentum is preparing to launch several new products in 2026. In Q1 2026, the platform plans to introduce a Perpetual DEX, supporting derivative trading and perpetual futures on the Sui blockchain. Momentum's Token Generation Lab (TGL) is also scheduled to launch in the same quarter as a dedicated platform for long-term projects, providing strategic partnerships, liquidity support, and transparent token distribution.
In Q2 2026, Momentum X is expected to launch as an organizational-level platform integrating trading and compliance into a single system. Built on the Sui technology platform, this product will feature a global Customer Identity Verification (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework allowing verified users access to tokenized assets and markets through a secure and unified platform.
MMT Token
MMT is the native token of the Momentum protocol, available on the Sui network. The token is used within the Momentum ecosystem for various purposes such as:
Commitment Mechanism: MMT uses a token lock model to gain voting rights. When committing MMT, you will receive veMMT, granting you governance rights based on the amount of tokens committed and the lock duration.
Governance: veMMT holders can vote on proposals, update parameters, token release schedules, and other governance decisions shaping the ecosystem's development direction.
Community Rewards: MMT is allocated to incentivize network participation, rewarding users who trade, provide liquidity, vote, or contribute to the ecosystem's development.
Privileges: By holding veMMT, you will enjoy certain benefits in the ecosystem such as early access to new yield vaults, priority token allocation in the Token Generation Lab, and early use of upcoming products and features.
