Momentum DEX on Sui Airdrop Guide

Momentum Finance has emerged as a potentially game-changing decentralized exchange that’s rapidly gaining traction in the Sui ecosystem. With its innovative ve (3,3) technology and growing liquidity, Momentum DEX is positioning itself as a central pillar in the Sui DeFi landscape.  In this Momentum DEX guide, we’ll show you how to quality for the airdrop and earn yield on your crypto at the same time.

What Makes Momentum DEX on Sui Unique?

Momentum describes itself as “the central liquidity engine of the MOVE ecosystem”.  Unlike Uniswap and Curve, Momentum DEX employs what they call a ve (3,3) model.  This innovative approach creates a liquidity infrastructure layer powering the Sui ecosystem that perfectly aligns incentives, creating a system where “everybody wins.”

The Momentum DEX stealth-launched at the end of March 2025 and has already secured approximately $10 million in funding from major players in the Sui ecosystem and the broader Web3 space.  Notably, the founder was previously part of the Libra team at Meta, bringing significant experience to the Momentum Finance project.

Momentum Finance Shows Impressive Growth in a Short Time

Despite being less than a month old, Momentum DEX has demonstrated remarkable performance:

• Total Value Locked (TVL): $19 million and growing
• Monthly Swap Volume: Over $389 million
• Daily Swap Volume: Nearly $39 million
• Weekly Growth: 43% increase in TVL in just seven days

For comparison, the current top DEX on Sui is Cetus and it processes about $95 million in daily volume, making Momentum’s early metrics particularly impressive for a newcomer.

The Momentum Building Program on Sui Launching Soon

On April 28th, 2025, the Momentum Building Program will officially launch.  This initiative invites users to help grow the liquidity layer of the Sui ecosystem while earning rewards for their participation.

The program specifically mentions a future token, stating: “This isn’t about just collecting bricks for fun.  At the end of the building program, your efforts pay off with valuable and productive assets in Momentum Tokens.”

How to Position for the Momentum Airdrop

Want to qualify for what could be a significant Sui ecosystem airdrop with the Momentum token distribution? Simply follow the steps below to position your Sui wallet (changed to Slush Wallet) to be eligible for the Momentum DEX airdrop:

1. Make Frequent Swaps on Momentum DEX

The Momentum DEX interface is easy to navigate and makes swapping Sui ecosystem tokens a breeze.  One way to qualify for the Momentum airdrop is by simply using the decentralized exchange early and often.  If possible, try to make swaps on Momentum DEX daily, even if they are small.  Being an active user of the Momentum DEX will boost your points and help you climb the leaderboard.

2. Provide Liquidity on Momentum to Earn Yield and Points

To increase your chances at qualifying for the Momentum airdrop, provide liquidity in any of their available pools.  When you provide liquidity on the Momentum protocol you reap the following benefits:

• Earn yield on all swaps made for the token pair you provided liquidity
• Receive token emissions
• Accumulate “bricks” / points toward the Momentum airdrop

When choosing liquidity pairs on Momentum or any DEX, make sure to select tokens you’re comfortable holding long-term, as impermanent loss is always a consideration.  In my Momentum DEX video tutorial, we chose the $WAL – $SUI liquidity pool because both are tokens I’m comfortable holding tokens long-term.

When you provide liquidity on any decentralized exchange, you ideally want your chosen pair of Sui ecosystem tokens to move in the same direction.  It doesn’t really matter if they go up or down as you’re earning yield as long as they stay in-range.  Sometimes however, one token will go up while the other stays flat or goes down in price.  When that happens, you’re going to be left with one of the two tokens in the Liquidity Pool which is why you need to love them both before entering.

Tips for Providing Liquidity on Momentum DEX

Momentum DEX offers several unique features for liquidity providers:

• Price Range Options: You can choose from various concentration ranges (1% to full range) based on your risk tolerance and rebalancing preferences
• Single Token Deposits: Momentum DEX allows you to provide liquidity using just one token
• High APRs: Some Liquidity Pools on Momentum are offering yields above 200%

Remember that tighter ranges (like 5%) may require frequent checking to ensure your position remains in range as token prices fluctuate.

3. Generate and Share your Momentum DEX Referral Code

Create your personal Momentum DEX referral link and share it to earn additional points as new users join through your invitation.  Simply connect your Slush Wallet, Phantom Wallet, or Backpack wallet to Momentum, go to the Leaderboard page, and copy your referral link.  The more people you refer to Momentum DEX, the greater your chances for an airdrop.

4. Complete the Momentum DEX Galxe Campaign Tasks

To further increase you airdrop chances, simply connect your wallet to the Momentum Galxe Campaign and complete simple tasks like:

• Following Momentum Finance on X and other social media platforms
• Join the Momentum DEX Discord community
• Learning more about their point system

Staying active in Momentum’s Discord server can earn you special roles, potentially enhancing your airdrop eligibility even further.

Momentum Finance’s Future on Sui Network is Bright

As the Sui Network continues to gain traction and new users, quality protocols like Momentum Finance, Pawtato Finance, Magma Finance, Nemo, NODO AI, and DeepBook could experience rapid growth.  The current Total Value Locked (TVL) across all Sui DeFi protocols stands at $1.2 billion.  The TVL on Sui hit an all-time-high of $2 billion in January 2025 which means there’s room for growth.

This early stage of the Momentum Building Program presents an opportunity to establish yourself in what could become a cornerstone protocol within the Sui ecosystem.  As they put it, now is the time to “build your stake in Sui’s Skyline” and set yourself up for the Momentum token airdrop.

Momentum Finance represents an exciting addition to the Sui DeFi ecosystem, offering innovative features and potentially lucrative rewards for early adopters.  By simply making swaps, providing liquidity, sharing referrals, and participating in Momentum’s Galxe campaign community activities, you can position yourself for possible future token airdrops while supporting the growth of this promising app.  The DeFi space on Sui moves quickly, and staying informed is key to making the most of opportunities like Momentum Finance.
