Trading in perpetual futures on the Sui blockchain has picked up, with @AftermathFi emerging as the main driver of activity across the @SuiNetwork ecosystem. Data tracked by DefiLlama points to a notable rise in perps volume for $SUI, with the protocol ranking ahead of its closest rival, @bluefinapp.
DefiLlama's Sui chain overview lists a weekly perps volume change of about 31.76%, in line with a rise of more than 30% over the past seven days. Aftermath has recorded close to $70 million in perps volume over the period, according to the figures in circulation. Bluefin is the only other protocol close, at around $5 million in trading volume.
Figures on DefiLlama's perps dashboards update continuously and differ by time window and by how each page defines volume, so readers comparing numbers should check the timeframe shown. Third-party tracker PerpFinder, which draws on DefiLlama and exchange data, tracks nine perpetual futures venues on Sui, and lists Aftermath Perps among the top protocols by recent volume.
Aftermath's documentation describes the product as a fully onchain perpetual futures exchange on Sui, where every order, cancellation, trade and liquidation executes onchain. It runs a central limit order book in Move smart contracts rather than relying on off-chain sequencers.
That design differs from Bluefin, which runs an off-chain order book with on-chain settlement. Security firm Certora, which audited the protocol, described a liveness vulnerability in the order book that Aftermath mitigated before the findings were published in September 2026.
The protocol has also faced setbacks. Aftermath's perps market was exploited for about $1.14 million in April 2026 after a fee misconfiguration, before the team paused the protocol. Mysten Labs and the Sui Foundation later pledged to cover user losses, according to reports.
The latest volume data suggests trading activity has returned to the platform, though perps volumes on Sui remain small compared with the largest decentralized derivatives venues on other chains.
