From Liquidity Hub to Ecological Synergy: SUN.io and "Sun Wukong" Dual Brand Drive, Restructuring the Liquidity Narrative of TRON

On January 19, the core liquidity protocol of the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io, completed a brand strategy upgrade, launching the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong" and simultaneously releasing a new brand logo, along with a Chinese official website page.

This brand refresh is not only an iteration of visual identity and brand name but also a key leap in SUN.io's strategic positioning. With the dual-brand matrix of "international brand + Chinese cultural IP" as the core strategy, SUN.io (Sun Wukong) will deeply bind global professional standards with localized user perceptions, marking its evolution from an "asset trading platform" to a "DeFi liquidity ecosystem," and embarking on a new journey to reconstruct the liquidity narrative of TRON DeFi.

Accompanying this brand upgrade, the core product matrix under SUN.io has also adopted corresponding Chinese names, establishing a clear and highly recognizable brand recognition system: the DEX asset exchange platform SunSwap is named "Wukong Exchange" in Chinese; the meme innovation asset issuance platform SunPump is named "Wukong Launch"; the decentralized perpetual contract product SunX is named "Sun Wukong"; and the decentralized governance organization Sun DAO is named "Wukong Dao."

Currently, the international brand of SUN.io and the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong" are officially operating in sync, creating a dual-track brand system driven by "international brand identity + local cultural IP narrative." This system maintains a professional image in the global market while deeply connecting with Chinese community users through a culturally resonant Chinese IP brand, injecting dual momentum into the global expansion and localized cultivation of the ecosystem.

SUN.io and "Sun Wukong" Dual Brand Synergy: Product Matrix Precisely Positioned in Segmented Tracks, Reconstructing the New Narrative of TRON Liquidity

With the comprehensive implementation of the brand upgrade strategy, SUN.io has officially launched the dual-track parallel operation model of "international brand + Chinese brand 'Sun Wukong'," establishing a comprehensive product matrix that covers the global market and local users. The product matrix has also achieved precise alignment and collaborative resonance between the international brand line and the Chinese brand line, deeply positioning itself in core DeFi segments such as DEX, Meme, and Perp, fully renewing the value narrative of the TRON DeFi liquidity ecosystem.

Through continuous iterative upgrades and ongoing product innovation breakthroughs, SUN.io has transformed from an initial DEX trading platform to a fully functional, symbiotic super liquidity ecosystem, with its business landscape deeply covering core DeFi scenarios such as DEX asset exchange, meme innovation incubation, and perpetual contracts, extending into AI intelligent services and decentralized governance DAO fields, reshaping the TRON DeFi landscape with a full-scenario product matrix.

Currently, SUN.io has established a clearly defined core product matrix, including the benchmark DEX platform SunSwap (Wukong Exchange), the meme asset incubation engine SunPump (Wukong Launch), the perpetual contract pioneer SunX (Sun Wukong), as well as the decentralized governance core Sun DAO (Wukong Dao), and AI intelligent service SunAgent among multiple product lines. Each product focuses deeply on its respective segmented track and, with excellent performance and quality service, has quickly secured a leading position, showcasing remarkable achievements.

In the asset exchange DEX track, the DEX platform SunSwap (Wukong Exchange) primarily provides users with efficient and convenient asset exchange services. Its operational mechanism is similar to Uniswap but retains its unique characteristics, consistently being the DEX platform with the highest trading volume within the TRON ecosystem. According to the latest data from DeFiLlama, as of January 14, the total locked value (TVL) on the SUN.io platform was $5, maintaining a long-term position among the top five in the global DEX track.

According to official browser data, as of January 14, SunSwap's liquidity pool locked value exceeded $500 million, with the cumulative number of created liquidity pools surpassing 26,000, demonstrating its strong market appeal and user base. In the past seven days, the platform's trading volume exceeded $400 million, with over 19,000 users participating in transactions.

In the innovative asset meme track, SunPump (Wukong Launch) allows users to create and issue their own exclusive meme coins with one click, greatly stimulating user creativity and participation enthusiasm. At its launch, this product once surpassed the leading competitor Pumpfun, quickly rising to become a new star in the meme field. To elevate issuance efficiency to new heights, in March 2025, SUN.io launched the AI-powered token issuance tool SunGenX, tailored for the X platform, supporting "issue tokens with a tweet."

Additionally, SunPump has meticulously built a comprehensive, full-cycle support system for meme project growth, covering multiple key core links such as "community cold start - precise traffic empowerment - listing resource connection - subsequent growth incentives." With its outstanding resource integration capabilities and ecological empowerment strength, SunPump has evolved from an initial meme issuance tool to a core builder of the meme ecosystem.

In July last year, the two mainstream meme coins SUNDOG and PePe successfully launched on Binance's Alpha Zone, and the Binance wallet also integrated the SunPump application, allowing users to trade meme coins directly on the Binance platform. This not only reflects the top trading platform's high recognition and endorsement of the potential of SunPump's meme coins but also opens a fast track for more meme coins to enter the Binance ecosystem.

According to authoritative data from DUNE, as of January 6, the SunPump platform has created over 100,000 meme tokens, with the cumulative revenue captured by the platform protocol reaching as high as 38.07 million TRX. This series of brilliant achievements undoubtedly serves as the best interpretation of its industry position and strength.

In the derivatives contract (Perp) track, SUN.io launched the decentralized perpetual contract exchange SunX (Sun Wukong, formerly SunPerp) last September, leveraging the high TPS performance base of TRON and combining years of accumulated user trading experience insights and product refinement from SUN.io. SunX provides users with a new trading experience for derivatives that surpasses centralized exchanges (CEX), igniting market enthusiasm upon launch and quickly emerging as a formidable new force in the decentralized derivatives field.

SunX not only improved the ecological layout but also drove a significant increase in on-chain trading volume on the TRON network with its strong traffic aggregation capabilities. Data from the on-chain data platform Lookonchain shows that within just one month after SunX's launch, in October last year, the contract trading volume on the TRON network approached $2.45 billion; at the same time, spot trading volume also surged, with DEX trading volume reaching $3.044 billion, achieving a substantial 174% month-over-month growth, showcasing strong growth momentum. On November 24, 2025, SunPerp officially upgraded to SunX, marking its critical transition from a single trading platform to a comprehensive derivatives ecosystem.

According to DeFiLlama statistics, in December 2025, SunX's monthly trading volume approached 11 billion USDT, setting a new historical high. Currently, the daily trading volume on the SunX platform has entered the top 15 in the global on-chain derivatives track, becoming a core competitive force in the DeFi derivatives field with its unexpected growth rate and market performance.

In terms of ecological governance construction, the decentralized community organization Sun DAO (Wukong Dao) grants full participation rights to holders of the native token SUN within the SUN.io ecosystem, including initiating proposals, participating in key decision-making votes, adjusting protocol parameters, and deeply engaging in the formulation of ecological rules, among other activities. As of January 14, there are over 80,000 SUN token holders, with a cumulative repurchase and destruction value of tokens reaching as high as $12.37 million. This series of measures has built a virtuous cycle system of "governance participation + value sharing," significantly strengthening community cohesion and providing solid support for the token's value.

In addition to focusing on core trading scenarios, SUN.io has also been striving to enhance user experience, launching the AI intelligent assistant SunAgent, aiming to leverage new AI technologies to improve Web3 interaction experiences. In November last year, SunAgent evolved from an initial crypto industry Q&A bot to an "on-chain intelligent interaction assistant," achieving a revolutionary experience of "command execution." Users only need to input requests in natural language (such as "stake TRX" or "exchange USDD"), and SunAgent can automatically complete the entire process, greatly reducing the threshold for on-chain interactions.

With the robust support of the three core trading products SunSwap, SunPump, and SunX, combined with the underlying guarantee of the decentralized governance organization SUN DAO, and the technological empowerment of AI intelligent service SunAgent, SUN.io has successfully built a super liquidity ecosystem system with deep interlinking across multiple core sectors, covering all scenarios.

This system operates like a precisely functioning machine, with each sector working in perfect coordination and complementing each other, not only providing users with a richer, more convenient, and safer trading experience but also continuously reconstructing the new narrative of TRON DeFi liquidity, leading TRON DeFi towards a more prosperous and diverse future.

Now, with the comprehensive implementation of the brand upgrade, SUN.io "Sun Wukong" and its product matrix have officially established a clear dual-brand operational structure: the international brands SunSwap, SunPump, SunX, and Sun DAO correspond to and operate in sync with the Chinese brands "Wukong Exchange," "Wukong Launch," "Sun Wukong Perpetual," and "Wukong Dao." The dual brands work in parallel, using the "Sun Wukong" cultural IP as an emotional bond, precisely connecting global strategic layout with localized deep operation, achieving an organic unity of international vision and local perception.

SUN.io Sun Wukong Ecosystem Synergy Ignites New Momentum for TRON DeFi Ecosystem

Currently, SUN.io Sun Wukong has built a highly complete and competitive core product matrix, forming a closed-loop network for the full-chain DeFi value flow, ranging from innovative asset issuance, full-scenario trading matching, asset value appreciation, to derivatives risk hedging, community co-construction and governance, and AI technology empowerment. Each product sector is interconnected, precisely coordinated, and mutually beneficial, functioning like a precisely operating machine, efficiently driving SUN.io's comprehensive upgrade from a "liquidity hub" to an "ecological value community," continuously injecting endless power into the prosperity of the TRON ecosystem and igniting new growth momentum for the DeFi ecosystem.

On the asset issuance side, SunPump (Wukong Launch) and SunGenX work hand in hand, using innovative models such as "one-click token issuance" and "issue tokens with a tweet" to directly address the core pain points of "issuance difficulties" for innovative assets like memes. This disruptive design significantly lowers the threshold for asset incubation, allowing creativity and value to easily emerge, injecting new vitality into meme culture dissemination and ensuring SunPump's leading position in the meme issuance field.

On the exchange trading side, SunSwap (Wukong Exchange), as a benchmark in the DEX field, has built a comprehensive and differentiated asset exchange network, catering to the efficient needs of both ordinary token trading and stablecoin exchanges. With its secure, smooth, and convenient trading experience, SunSwap has become the preferred choice for users to conduct asset exchanges, maintaining its lead in the DEX track.

On the derivatives side, the emergence of SunX (Sun Wukong) precisely fills the gap in the TRON ecosystem's derivatives track. With a professional technical architecture and rich trading strategies, it meets users' diverse needs for perpetual contract trading experiences, promoting the flow of ecological value to deeper and broader areas.

On the community governance side, SUN DAO (Wukong Dao) has established an ecological governance system of "co-construction, co-governance, and sharing" through a decentralized voting mechanism and diversified incentive measures. By continuously promoting token repurchase and destruction, potential airdrops, and other benefits, SUN DAO continually strengthens community cohesion, providing solid support for the value of the SUN token, allowing every community member to reap dividends from the ecosystem's development.

On the technology empowerment side, SunAgent leverages cutting-edge AI technology to reconstruct on-chain interaction logic, achieving a zero-threshold operational experience of "command execution." Users do not need to master complex on-chain operation knowledge; they can complete the entire process with natural language commands.

From the DEX benchmark SunSwap solidifying the trading foundation to the meme incubation platform SunPump activating innovative vitality; from the perpetual contract pioneer SunX broadening the value dimension to SUN DAO solidifying the governance base, and SunAgent optimizing interaction experience with AI technology—SUN.io's product sectors resonate in synergy, forming a powerful ecological force.

From a single product breakthrough to full ecological collaborative empowerment, from comprehensive functional coverage to deep governance penetration, SUN.io has completed its evolution from a "DeFi trading platform" to the "core liquidity engine of the TRON ecosystem," growing into a comprehensive financial infrastructure platform in the global DeFi field with product hard power, ecological synergy, and governance depth.

Compared to traditional general-purpose DEXs like Uniswap, Raydium, and PancakeSwap, SUN.io breaks out of the homogeneous competition of a single trading track, using a "diverse product matrix + full-chain collaboration" approach to completely break the functional boundaries of DEX, carving out a differentiated development path and establishing a unique and hard-to-replicate competitive advantage.

More importantly, behind SUN.io is the globally leading stablecoin network TRON, which will bring a continuous flow of funds and user dividends to the platform.

According to the "2025 Year-End Report on the Crypto Industry and Stablecoins" published by industry authorities such as Messari, RWA, and Stablecoin Insider, the TRON network has performed exceptionally well over the past year: the circulation of USDT exceeded $80 billion, facilitating approximately $7.9 trillion in USDT transfer volume, maintaining its position as a core settlement layer globally; in the retail transfer (<$1000 USDT) sector, it occupies 65% of the market share, showing significant user penetration; in just the past 30 days, the daily trading volume of stablecoins on TRON reached as high as $23.86 billion, with the daily number of trading accounts exceeding 1.15 million. This vast pool of traffic and active trading ecosystem will provide a solid backing for the continuous growth of SUN.io.

Additionally, the TRON ecosystem also boasts a complete DeFi ecological matrix with lending platform JustLend DAO, RWA product stUSDT, oracle WINKLink, cross-chain protocol BTTC, AI infrastructure AINFT, and more. These core applications deeply interlink and operate in synergy with SUN.io's product system, forming an ecological force of "traffic interconnection + functional complementarity," jointly releasing the maximum value of the TRON DeFi ecosystem.

With the significant launch of the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong," SUN.io and its product matrix have officially adopted a dual-brand operational model as the core strategy, opening a two-way empowerment channel that connects global layout with localized cultivation, further releasing ecological synergy value, and solidifying an irreplaceable core competitiveness, achieving dual support of technological strength and cultural recognition.

On one hand, SUN.io relies on leading blockchain technology as its core foundation, solidifying the hard base of its entire product line, showcasing a strong technical barrier with solid product strength and stable performance; on the other hand, leveraging the globally recognized national cultural IP "Sun Wukong," it stimulates emotional resonance among global users, building a deep cultural connection that transcends product functionality.

The dual empowerment of technological strength and cultural recognition allows SUN.io to break through in the fiercely competitive DeFi track, establishing a unique competitive advantage that is hard to replicate, and shaping a differentiated brand image that combines international vision with local heritage.

In the future, SUN.io will continue to deepen product innovation and community co-construction, using the full-chain value flow closed-loop as the core engine, further activating cross-scenario liquidity potential, providing global users with more efficient, diverse, and low-threshold DeFi solutions, and continuously leading the decentralized financial ecosystem towards a more inclusive, efficient, and sustainable direction of innovative evolution.
