Last updated on March 25th, 2026 at 11:57 pm

Fencer had suggested on Twitter that Sui’s airdrop could outperform its primary competitor, Aptos, and expected Sui to allocate 20% of its supply to early contributors. He also admonished users to sign up for the project’s recently established ambassador program when minting and staking NFTs to be eligible for the airdrop.

However, Abiodun replied to Fencer’s thread and dismissed any Sui airdrop’s existence. He also urged everyone to stop spreading misinformation.

Stop spreading nonsense. There is NO Sui Airdrop. Not planned or ever will be.

Meanwhile, in a Twitter Spaces discussion, Abiodun revealed that he had selected many community members outside the United States to receive discounted access to the Community Access Program. He mentioned that alternative prizes were being planned for Americans, and early contributors who tested the applications and provided feedback would receive user rewards.

Members of the crypto community on Twitter expressed their thoughts; some think the firm should airdrop Sui tokens if they want people to discuss the project.

If you don’t airdrop the community will stop talking about sui, all they will talk about is your bald✅

Others expressed concerns about the dangers of raising money from retail, as many high-calibre projects have launched through Coinlist sales in the past.

Damn Algod is on the path of war

Plenty of high-caliber projects launched through Coinlist sales in the past.

Today I’d be scared shitless raising money from retail. but it looks like Sui is gonna go through Coinlist for initial distribution
