Sui announced in a blog post on Wednesday that its partnership with BytePlus would bring many of the latter's services and tools to web3 gaming and social platforms.

In an X post, the Layer 1 blockchain said, "BytePlus will explore data warehousing, content recommendation, content generation, and augmented reality in Web3 game platforms and socialFi projects in collaboration with MystenLabs."

Sui claims that its features of zkLogin, sponsored transactions, and a unique NFT technology combined with BytePlus' features such as ByteHouse, BytePlus Effects, and BytePlus Recommend, "could power groundbreaking new social apps (...) and increase exposure to key customers and partners including large game development companies."

Following the partnership announcement, the price of SUI soared 12% to reach $1.35 on Wednesday. The partnership may have influenced 435 smart money wallets to accumulate huge amounts of SUI, according to Scopescan.
