From Liquidity Hub to Ecosystem Synergy: SUN.io and "Sun Wukong" Dual-Brand Drive Restructures TRON's Liquidity Narrative
SUN.io Ecosystem Brand Strategy Upgrade: Introducing Chinese brand "Sun Wukong," ecosystem synergy ignites new momentum in TRON DeFi liquidity.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn January 19, SUN.io, the core liquidity protocol of the TRON ecosystem, completed a strategic brand upgrade, launching its Chinese brand name "Sun Wukong" (Monkey King), unveiling a new logo, and launching its official Chinese-language website.
This rebranding goes beyond just visual updates or a name change—it marks a pivotal leap in SUN.io’s strategic positioning. By adopting a dual-brand strategy centered on “global brand + Chinese cultural IP,” SUN.io (Sun Wukong) tightly integrates global professional standards with localized user engagement, signifying its evolution from an “asset trading platform” to a full-fledged “DeFi liquidity ecosystem,” and embarking on a new journey to reshape the liquidity narrative within the TRON DeFi landscape.
Alongside this brand upgrade, SUN.io's core product suite has also adopted corresponding Chinese names, establishing a clear and highly recognizable brand architecture: the DEX asset exchange platform SunSwap is now branded as “Wu Kong Huan Dui” (Monkey King Swap); the Meme innovation asset issuance platform SunPump becomes “Wu Kong Fa She” (Monkey King Launch); the decentralized perpetual contracts product SunX is named “Sun Wukong”; and the decentralized governance organization Sun DAO is rebranded as “Wu Kong Dao” (Monkey King Way).
Currently, the international brand SUN.io and the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong" are operating in parallel, forming a dual-track branding system that synergizes “global brand identity” with “localized cultural IP storytelling.” This framework maintains a professional presence in global markets while deeply engaging Chinese-speaking communities through a culturally resonant Eastern narrative, injecting dual momentum into both global expansion and local深耕.
SUN.io and "Sun Wukong": Dual-Brand Drive Powers Precision Positioning Across DeFi Niches, Reinventing TRON's Liquidity Narrative
With the full implementation of its brand upgrade strategy, SUN.io has officially launched its dual-track operational model—“international brand + Chinese brand 'Sun Wukong'”—building a comprehensive product matrix that serves both global and local users. Its product lines now precisely align across international and Chinese branding, creating synergistic resonance across key DeFi niches such as DEX, Meme, and Perpetuals (Perp), thereby deeply anchoring itself in these critical segments and refreshing the value proposition of TRON’s DeFi liquidity ecosystem.
Through continuous iteration and relentless product innovation, SUN.io has evolved from a simple DEX trading platform into a fully functional, co-dependent super liquidity ecosystem. Its business footprint now spans core DeFi scenarios including DEX asset swaps, Meme innovation incubation, and Perp perpetual contracts, extending further into AI-powered services and decentralized governance (DAO), reshaping the entire TRON DeFi landscape with a full-suite product offering.
Today, SUN.io has established a clearly segmented core product portfolio, including the DEX flagship SunSwap (Wu Kong Huan Dui), the Meme asset launch engine SunPump (Wu Kong Fa She), the perpetual contract pioneer SunX (Sun Wukong), the decentralized governance hub Sun DAO (Wu Kong Dao), and the AI service agent SunAgent. Each product focuses intensely on its niche, quickly securing top-tier positions through superior performance and high-quality service, delivering outstanding results.
In the DEX asset exchange sector, SunSwap (Wu Kong Huan Dui) offers users efficient and seamless asset swapping, functioning similarly to Uniswap but with distinct features of its own. It remains the highest-volume DEX platform within the TRON ecosystem. According to the latest data from DeFiLlama, on January 14, the total value locked (TVL) on the SUN.io platform reached $5 billion, consistently ranking it among the top five global DEX platforms.
Official browser data shows that as of January 14, SunSwap’s liquidity pools held over $500 million in assets, with more than 26,000 pools created cumulatively—evidence of its strong market appeal and robust user base. In the past seven days alone, the platform recorded over $400 million in trading volume, with more than 19,000 active traders.
In the innovative Meme asset space, SunPump (Wu Kong Fa She) enables users to instantly create and launch their own Meme coins, significantly boosting creativity and community participation. Upon launch, it briefly surpassed industry leader Pumpfun, rapidly emerging as a rising star in the Meme domain. To push issuance efficiency even further, in March 2025, SUN.io leveraged the advanced AI assistant SunAgent’s technical framework to introduce SunGenX—an AI-powered token creation tool tailored for the X platform—enabling “tweet-to-token” minting.
Additionally, SunPump has built a comprehensive, end-to-end support system for Meme projects, covering key stages such as “community cold starts—precise traffic empowerment—exchange listing support—ongoing growth incentives.” Thanks to its strong resource integration and ecosystem-enabling capabilities, SunPump has evolved from a mere Meme issuance tool into a core builder of the broader Meme ecosystem.
In July last year, two major Meme tokens on SunPump—SUNDOG and PePe—were successfully listed on Binance Alpha, and Binance Wallet integrated the SunPump app, allowing users to access and trade Meme tokens directly within the Binance platform. This not only represents top-tier recognition of SunPump’s Meme token potential but also opens a fast track for more Meme tokens to enter the Binance ecosystem.
According to authoritative data from DUNE, as of January 6, SunPump had facilitated the creation of over 100,000 Meme tokens, with the protocol accumulating over 38.07 million TRX in revenue—a testament to its dominant industry standing and operational strength.
In the derivatives (Perp) sector, SUN.io launched its decentralized perpetual exchange SunX (Sun Wukong, formerly SunPerp) in September last year. Leveraging TRON’s high-TPS infrastructure and combining years of user experience insights and product refinement, SunX delivers a derivatives trading experience that surpasses centralized exchanges (CEX). Its launch sparked immediate market excitement, quickly establishing it as a formidable new force in the decentralized derivatives space.
SunX not only completes the ecosystem’s structural layout but also drives significant growth in TRON’s on-chain trading volume through powerful traffic aggregation. Data from on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain shows that within just one month of SunX’s launch—in October last year—TRON’s contract trading volume approached $2.45 billion. Simultaneously, spot trading surged, with DEX volume reaching $3.044 billion, marking a 174% month-on-month increase and demonstrating strong growth momentum. On November 24, 2025, SunPerp was officially upgraded to SunX, marking its transition from a single trading platform to a comprehensive derivatives ecosystem.
According to DeFiLlama, SunX achieved nearly $11 billion in trading volume in December 2025, setting a new record. Currently, SunX ranks among the top 15 global on-chain derivatives platforms by daily trading volume, establishing itself as a major competitive player in the DeFi derivatives space through exceptional growth and market performance.
On the governance front, the decentralized community organization Sun DAO (Wu Kong Dao) empowers holders of SUN.io’s native token SUN with full participation rights—including proposal submission, voting on key decisions, and adjusting protocol parameters—enabling deep involvement in shaping ecosystem rules. As of January 14, there were over 80,000 SUN token holders, and the platform has repurchased and burned tokens worth $12.37 million, building a virtuous cycle of “governance participation + value sharing” that strengthens community cohesion and provides solid support for token value.
Beyond core trading use cases, SUN.io continues enhancing user experience with its AI assistant SunAgent, aiming to revolutionize Web3 interaction through cutting-edge AI. In November last year, SunAgent evolved from a basic crypto Q&A bot into a “smart on-chain interactive assistant,” enabling a revolutionary “command-to-execution” experience. Users simply input natural language requests (e.g., “stake TRX,” “swap to USDD”), and SunAgent automatically executes the entire process, dramatically lowering the barrier to on-chain interaction.
Backed by the three core trading products—SunSwap, SunPump, and SunX—and supported by the foundational governance of Sun DAO and technological empowerment from SunAgent, SUN.io has successfully built a super liquidity ecosystem integrating “DEX + Meme + Perp + DAO + AI,” where multiple core components interconnect deeply and cover all major DeFi scenarios.
This ecosystem operates like a precision machine, with each component working in harmony to deliver richer, more convenient, and secure trading experiences, continuously redefining the liquidity narrative on TRON and guiding its DeFi ecosystem toward a more prosperous and diverse future.
Now, with the full rollout of its brand upgrade, SUN.io’s “Sun Wukong” and its product suite have formally established a clear dual-brand operational structure: international brands SunSwap, SunPump, SunX, and Sun DAO now run in parallel with their Chinese counterparts—“Wu Kong Huan Dui,” “Wu Kong Fa She,” “Sun Wukong Perps,” and “Wu Kong Dao.” This dual-brand synergy uses the “Sun Wukong” cultural IP as an emotional bridge, seamlessly connecting global strategic ambitions with localized operational depth, achieving organic unity between international vision and local insight.
SUN.io Sun Wukong Ecosystem Synergy Ignites New Momentum in TRON DeFi
Today, the SUN.io Sun Wukong ecosystem has built a highly complete and competitive core product suite, forming a closed-loop DeFi value circulation network spanning innovation asset issuance, full-scenario trading, asset appreciation, derivatives hedging, community co-governance, and AI-driven empowerment. These modules interlock precisely, complementing each other like gears in a finely tuned machine, efficiently driving SUN.io’s transformation from a “liquidity hub” to an “ecosystem value community,” fueling ongoing growth and unleashing fresh momentum across the TRON DeFi landscape.
On the asset issuance side, SunPump (Wu Kong Fa She) and SunGenX work together, using innovative models like “one-click token launch” and “tweet-to-token” to directly address the core challenge of difficult Meme and innovation asset launches. This disruptive design drastically lowers the barrier to asset creation, allowing ideas and value to emerge effortlessly, revitalizing Meme culture and cementing SunPump’s leadership in the Meme issuance space.
On the trading front, SunSwap (Wu Kong Huan Dui), as a DEX benchmark, has built a comprehensive and differentiated asset swap network that meets both standard token and stablecoin exchange needs efficiently. With its secure, smooth, and user-friendly experience, SunSwap has become the go-to platform for asset swaps, maintaining its leading position in the DEX sector.
In derivatives, SunX (Sun Wukong) fills a critical gap in TRON’s ecosystem by offering sophisticated perpetual contract trading. With professional architecture and diverse trading strategies, it satisfies varied user demands, pushing ecosystem value deeper and wider.
On governance, Sun DAO (Wu Kong Dao) establishes a “co-build, co-govern, co-share” ecosystem through decentralized voting and diversified incentives. Ongoing token buybacks, burns, and potential airdrops strengthen community bonds and underpin the value of the SUN token, ensuring every member benefits from ecosystem growth.
On the technology front, SunAgent leverages cutting-edge AI to redefine on-chain interaction logic, enabling zero-barrier “command-to-execution” operations. Users no longer need complex blockchain knowledge—natural language commands suffice to complete full workflows.
Thus, from SunSwap—the DEX benchmark—laying a solid trading foundation, to SunPump—the Meme incubator—fueling innovation, to SunX—the Perp pioneer—expanding value dimensions, to Sun DAO strengthening governance, and SunAgent enhancing UX with AI—all components of SUN.io resonate in synergy, forming a powerful ecosystem force.
From single-product breakthroughs to full-ecosystem collaboration, from functional completeness to deep governance integration, SUN.io has evolved from a “DeFi trading platform” into the “core liquidity engine of the TRON ecosystem,” emerging as a comprehensive financial infrastructure platform with strong product capabilities, ecosystem synergy, and governance depth in the global DeFi arena.
Compared to traditional general-purpose DEX platforms like Uniswap, Raydium, and PancakeSwap, SUN.io breaks free from homogenized competition in the single trading lane. Through its “diverse product matrix + full-chain synergy” approach, it transcends the functional limits of conventional DEXs, charting a unique path of differentiated development and building a distinctive, hard-to-replicate competitive advantage.
Crucially, SUN.io is backed by TRON—the world-leading stablecoin network—whose ecosystem provides a continuous stream of capital flow and user growth.
According to the “2025 Year-End Report on the Crypto and Stablecoin Industry” published by leading Web3 research firms Messari, RWA, and Stablecoin Insider, the TRON network delivered outstanding performance over the past year: USDT circulation exceeded $80 billion, facilitating approximately $7.9 trillion in USDT transfers, firmly establishing it as a core global settlement layer. In retail transfers (<$1,000 USDT), TRON captured 65% market share, demonstrating significant user penetration. In the last 30 days alone, TRON’s stablecoin daily trading volume averaged $23.86 billion, with over 1.15 million daily active accounts. This massive liquidity pool and vibrant transaction ecosystem provide a solid foundation for SUN.io’s sustained growth.
Moreover, the TRON ecosystem hosts a mature DeFi suite, including the lending platform JustLend DAO, the RWA product stUSDT, the oracle WINKLink, the cross-chain protocol BTTC, and the AI infrastructure AINFT. These core applications work in deep synergy with SUN.io’s product stack, creating a powerful “traffic sharing + functional complementarity” ecosystem effect that unlocks the maximum value of the TRON DeFi ecosystem.
With the high-profile launch of the Chinese brand “Sun Wukong,” SUN.io and its product suite have now adopted a dual-brand operation model as a strategic lever, opening a bidirectional channel that connects global expansion with local深耕, further unlocking ecosystem synergy, solidifying irreplaceable competitive advantages, and achieving dual empowerment through technological strength and cultural resonance.
On one hand, SUN.io anchors itself in cutting-edge blockchain technology, building a robust foundation across all product lines, showcasing strong technical moats through reliable product performance and stability. On the other hand, by leveraging “Sun Wukong”—a globally recognized national cultural icon—it sparks emotional resonance among users worldwide, forging deep cultural connections that transcend mere functionality.
The dual empowerment of technological prowess and cultural identity enables SUN.io to stand out in the fiercely competitive DeFi arena, building a unique and hard-to-replicate advantage, and shaping a brand image that blends global vision with local cultural depth.
Looking ahead, SUN.io will continue deepening product innovation and community co-construction, using its full-chain value circulation loop as the core engine to unlock cross-scenario liquidity potential, delivering more efficient, diverse, and accessible DeFi solutions to users worldwide, and continuously leading the evolution of decentralized finance toward greater inclusivity, efficiency, and sustainability.
