mSUI – An LST for the Studio Mirai Community

We’re excited to introduce Mirai Staked SUI (mSUI), a community-oriented Sui liquid staking token (LST). mSUI is built on the recently launched SpringSui LST standard, providing a unique opportunity for users to stake their SUI while maximizing liquidity, utility, and capital efficiency.

What is mSUI?

mSUI is an LST that allows SUI holders to delegate their tokens directly to the Studio Mirai validator with minimal friction and maximum efficiency. By holding mSUI, users can enjoy the staking benefits of SUI, while their assets remain liquid and available for other uses across DeFi protocols.

In addition to running high-spec servers for our validator nodes (AMD EPYC 9254 CPU, 384GB RAM, 4TB RAID10 NVMEs), we also use our validator income for day-to-day operations, running globally-distributed RPC/Walrus infrastructure, commissioning incredible artwork like the image above, funding global community events and workshops, operating an IRL office, and more. Every cent of our validator income is reinvested back into the Sui ecosystem, and we're super excited to be able to provide an LST staking opportunity to our supporters.

With mSUI, you don’t have to sacrifice utility for staking rewards. SpringSui LSTs like mSUI can be used in lending protocols, trading, and other DeFi applications, making it an ideal choice for SUI holders who want to keep their capital at work while staking with Studio Mirai. We are currently working with leading Sui DeFi protocols like Suilend and Bucket Protocol to list mSUI as a supported asset.

Earning with mSUI on Suilend

To kickstart the mSUI launch, we’re thrilled to announce a special incentive program in collaboration with Suilend! For the next two months, mSUI holders can supply their tokens on Suilend and earn KOTO rewards. KOTO has a variety of use cases within the Studio Mirai ecosystem.

Recently, we launched Level 2 coloring for Prime Machin NFTs, which requires KOTO for unlocking higher customization tiers. For more information on Level 2 coloring, check out this pinned message in our Discord.

Future Utility and Perks for mSUI Holders

Our vision for mSUI extends beyond simple staking. Over the coming months, we will introduce additional benefits for mSUI holders:

1. Access to RPC and Walrus Nodes – mSUI holders will gain access to Studio Mirai-operated RPC and Walrus nodes, ensuring faster, more reliable network access and a smoother experience on the SUI blockchain.
2. Studio Mirai HQ – mSUI holders will enjoy special access to the Studio Mirai HQ in Japan, a co-working space where like-minded individuals can gather, collaborate, and innovate.
3. Exclusive Artwork – Collectors and art enthusiasts rejoice! We’re planning a series of limited edition Studio Mirai artworks, available only to mSUI holders.

Since these additional benefits have hard costs, we will share more information as soon as we have enough data around mSUI adoption.

How to Receive mSUI

To liquid stake your SUI and receive mSUI, follow the steps below.

First, go to the official SpringSui website, and select the mSUI as the "Receive" LST if it's not already selected.

Next, specify the amount of SUI you want to stake and press "Stake" button.

That's it (the SpringSui team made this super easy)! After the transaction has been confirmed, you should see the mSUI tokens in your Sui wallet.

Conclusion

mSUI is more than just another LST—it’s your gateway to the Studio Mirai ecosystem and a host of exclusive opportunities and benefits. By delegating your SUI to Studio Mirai via mSUI, you can contribute to the decentralization of the Sui network and support one of the top Sui-native teams – all without having to sacrifice capital efficiency of your assets.
