# Gem Wallet Supports WalletConnect on Sui: Trade, Lend, and Stake Onchain
> Gem Wallet supports WalletConnect on Sui - connect to Cetus, Bluefin, NAVI Protocol, and your other favorite DApps in a couple of taps, on iOS or Android.

Gem Wallet shipped WalletConnect support for Sui in version 2.100, released on July 9, 2026 - the network's ecosystem now opens straight from the app. Cetus, Bluefin, NAVI Protocol, and dozens of other DApps, in a couple of taps, privately and securely.

## What Is the Sui Blockchain?

<a href="https://sui.io/" rel="nofollow">Sui</a> is a Layer 1 blockchain with a market cap of around $2.8 billion. Its ecosystem holds about $420 million in DeFi protocols and another $429 million in stablecoins, and it turns over $169 million in DEX volume and $237 million in perpetuals every week. Transactions finalize in under a second and fees stay at a fraction of a cent, which is why more than 150,000 addresses stay active on the network every day. Our guide to the [Sui blockchain](/learn/what-is-the-sui-blockchain/) covers the network in detail.

WalletConnect removes the last barrier between our users and that ecosystem: everything that used to need a browser extension or a second wallet now happens straight from Gem Wallet. Staking SUI for rewards, swapping, providing liquidity, borrowing against collateral, opening a leveraged position - and your keys stay yours the whole time.

## Top Sui DApps to Use With Gem Wallet

Direct access to Sui DApps means new possibilities for our users:

- **<a href="https://www.cetus.zone/" rel="nofollow">Cetus</a>**: The largest DEX and swap router on Sui - $593 million routed through its aggregator over 30 days, plus $291 million traded in its own pools. Trade [SUI](/sui-wallet/), [USDC](/usdc-wallet/), and ecosystem tokens, or deposit a pair you already hold into a pool and collect trading fees.
- **<a href="https://bluefin.io/" rel="nofollow">Bluefin</a>**: The busiest trading venue on the network - $364 million in spot volume and $126 million in perpetuals over 30 days. Trade at order-book prices or open a leveraged position on SUI, all through the same connection.
- **<a href="https://naviprotocol.io/" rel="nofollow">NAVI Protocol</a>**: The largest lending market on Sui, with $128 million locked. Put the USDC or USDT sitting idle in your wallet to work at market rates, or borrow against your SUI instead of selling it.
- **<a href="https://haedal.xyz/" rel="nofollow">Haedal</a>**: The leading liquid staking protocol on Sui, with $26 million staked through it. Turn SUI into haSUI, keep earning [staking](/sui-staking/) rewards, and use the same tokens in pools and lending markets at the same time.

Every other Sui DApp that shows a WalletConnect QR code works too: with Gem Wallet you connect to any of them instantly, in a couple of taps, on iOS or Android.

2. Choose WalletConnect, then find Gem Wallet in the wallet list or scan the QR code

## Benefits for Gem Wallet Users With Sui WalletConnect

Gem Wallet is a fully open-source, self-custody wallet for Sui and 100+ other blockchains. Here is what you get when you connect to Sui [DApps](/dapp-wallet/) over [WalletConnect](/learn/what-is-walletconnect-and-how-to-use-wc-for-defi/):

- **Full Self-Custody:** Your private keys stay on your device and every signature happens locally. A DApp receives the result of a transaction, never access to your funds.
- **100% Open-Source Code:** Gem Wallet's source code is public and passed an independent CertiK audit in April 2026 - anyone can check how Sui transactions are built and signed.
- **Privacy With No Sign-Up:** Gem Wallet does not collect your data - no email, no phone number, no ID.
- **Phishing Protection on the Confirmation Screen:** Before you sign, you see the wallet, the DApp name, and its exact website URL. A cloned site gives itself away before the transaction, not after.
- **Clean, Simple Interface:** Connecting takes a couple of taps - no network to add by hand, no settings to dig through.
- **WalletConnect Session Management:** Every active connection lives under Settings → WalletConnect, and you can drop any of them in a tap.
- **Transaction Simulation Before You Sign:** You see which tokens leave your wallet and which arrive before you confirm anything.
- **Built-in DEX Aggregator:** You can [swap](/swap/) USDT, ETH, or BTC for SUI through Mayan, NEAR Intents, and other protocols at the best available rate, without leaving the app.
- **Buy SUI With a Card:** Every transaction on the network needs its native token, so you can [buy Sui](/buy-sui/) right in Gem Wallet - card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, in 170+ countries.
