The @SuiFoundation has joined @lfdecentralized, the Linux Foundation's open source body for blockchain and decentralized ledger technology, as part of a broad intake of 15 new members announced on September 24, 2026.
The full cohort includes Brickken, CertiK, Cosmos, DCP Inc., Ethereum Institutional, EthSystems, EUROPEUM, Fenasbac, Hypernative, Interchain Foundation, Sui Foundation, Swift, Vana, Wells Fargo, and Zeeve. Swift, Wells Fargo, and Zeeve are rejoining the community, a sign of the escalating importance of LF Decentralized Trust and its technologies.
Why Sui Is At the Table
The move places @SuiNetwork alongside some of the most influential names in global finance at a moment when the industry is trying to agree on how tokenized assets should move between institutions. As Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, put it: traditional finance built its standards over decades, but an equivalent set for tokenized assets has yet to be broadly adopted. The next challenge is making those assets move efficiently across institutions through a common language for identity, compliance, and settlement. Sui, he said, provides the high-performance layer needed to put those standards into action.
Sui's involvement with LFDT is not new. The Open Tokenized Asset Standard (OTAS), a lab that includes open source smart contracts for implementing tokenized financial instruments, was proposed by premier member OpenAssets and sponsored by Sui and Mysten Labs.
A Broader Institutional Push
The announcement comes ahead of Sibos, the annual financial services conference, and includes several institutional heavyweights. Among the new members are Swift, Wells Fargo, Brazil's central bank-affiliated innovation group Fenasbac, and DCP, the company behind Japan's tokenized deposit solution DCJPY.
Alongside the membership news, LFDT unveiled a major upgrade to its blockchain interoperability platform, Hyperledger Cacti v3, making it easier to plug new blockchains into cross-chain transfers. With the proliferation of institutional blockchains, interoperability has come to the fore.
Daniela Barbosa, General Manager of Decentralized Technologies at the Linux Foundation, said the industry has reached a tipping point for the commercialization of digital assets, with billions of dollars already moving across production systems powered by LFDT technologies. She noted the community sits at the core of the next generation of money, including tokenized assets, stablecoins, and CBDCs.
