In the past few years, most public chain ecosystems have faced a common problem—modules such as chains, storage, identity, and encryption operate independently, forcing developers to find ways to piece them together themselves. This fragmented experience has long hindered the development efficiency of the ecosystem.

Recently, while researching the Ferra Protocol project on the Sui ecosystem, I discovered an interesting phenomenon. This project integrates swap functionality, LP mechanisms, and even social modules, seamlessly connecting multiple capabilities within a single application. This shift in design approach reflects progress in the infrastructure development of the Sui ecosystem—from decentralization to integration.

By observing the evolution of the Sui ecosystem over the past period, it’s clear that there has been a significant improvement trajectory. More and more projects are no longer working in isolation but are beginning to consider how to create a more complete user experience on a unified chain. Based on these changes, I have made some thoughts and summaries regarding Sui’s development plan for 2026. This trend of ecosystem integration may become a key driver in pushing Sui toward further maturity.

Sui's integration approach this time is indeed good, but the problem is whether these projects can really run smoothly. Ferra's module integration sounds smooth, but will the actual user experience be good? We have to wait and see. All talk about integration is nice, but essentially it's about solving fragmentation, why haven't other public chains thought of this? The trend of integration is correct, but I'm worried it's just another case of concept hype leading to a failed ending. I'm optimistic about the Sui ecosystem integration, but 2026 is too far away to say. Developers' "patchwork" days should be over; I've been complaining about this for a long time. Connecting multiple modules sounds great, but the real bottleneck is whether users will buy into it.

Ferra this project is indeed interesting, finally someone understands that integration is the way out --- Exactly right, fragmented modules are really a big cancer, developers are exhausted and the experience is poor --- The Sui ecosystem's integration feels like the right timing, whether it can succeed by 2026 all depends on execution --- The combination of swap and social is somewhat interesting, but it still depends on whether users buy into it --- Instead of working separately, it's better to have one application that handles all needs, which is indeed more convenient --- This idea has been overused on other public chains for a long time, Sui has finally realized this --- The trend of integration is good, but the key is to have core applications to support it, just integration alone is useless --- Everyone wants an integrated experience, but afraid it will end up being all-in-one and mediocre at everything

Fusion is indeed attractive, but can Ferra’s all-in-one design really work? It always feels like putting everything together easily leads to failures. The Sui ecosystem’s integration looks good, but it still depends on whether actual users will buy into it. It’s nice to say it’s integration, but honestly, it’s just projects competing with each other, forced out by circumstances. 2026 is too far away, brother. Let’s fill the pits for 2024 first. It feels like discovering a new continent, but other public chains have been doing this for a long time. Modular assembly is indeed a problem, but Sui being able to completely solve it? That might be too much to ask. Integrating multiple functions sounds great, but can the user experience really be good? Or is it just the old UX problem. The real test is in TVL and activity; just merging everything doesn’t mean much.

The Sui ecosystem's recent integration efforts clearly show that they are serious about product development. It's much better than the previous situation where each project did its own thing. Ferra's one-stop design approach has been overdue; it's a step in the right direction. However, the question remains how long this integration trend can last, as those projects also experienced a honeymoon period before. The 2026 plan sounds promising, but it all depends on whether it can actually be implemented. Piecing together modules is indeed a developer's nightmare. If Sui can completely solve this problem, it could truly gain an edge through a curve overtaking strategy.

Ferra's integration is indeed quite smooth, but honestly, whether it can truly retain users depends on subsequent operations. The Sui ecosystem has evolved from fragmentation to integration—how long this move will last is anyone's guess. The trend of integration is good, but could it just be a fleeting hot spot? I just want to know if these project teams truly understand user needs or are just following the trend of integration. Integration is easy, but doing it well is difficult... Having infrastructure alone is not enough.

So Sui is now starting to learn from others and build super apps. It looks pretty interesting. Ferra really has integrated things well, but I don't know how long it can last. Ultimately, it depends on whether developers are willing to follow through; no matter how much the ecosystem integrates, if users don't come, it's all for nothing. What 2026 will look like is hard to say; let's see if they can maintain popularity next year first. This round has indeed improved, but it's still far behind Solana's application ecosystem.

Ferra's idea is indeed good, but how many will actually make it to 2026? It feels like Sui has been playing catch-up all along; being late is still being late. This one-stop experience looks great, but is the chain itself stable? I'm worried. Why does it feel like we're just storytelling again, where is the actual user growth? Sui ecosystem integration has been talked about for over a year, why hasn't it taken off yet?
