About haedal

Unleashing Liquidity on Sui — The haedal Story

haedal is a pioneering liquid staking protocol built on the Sui blockchain, enabling anyone to stake SUI and WAL tokens while retaining full DeFi composability through yield-bearing receipt tokens. We are building the foundation for a more open, liquid, and rewarding Sui ecosystem.

Our Mission

haedal was founded with a clear mission: to democratize access to staking rewards while eliminating the liquidity trade-off inherent in traditional staking. When users stake SUI on haedal, they receive haSUI — a yield-bearing token that accrues staking rewards automatically and can be used freely across the entire Sui DeFi ecosystem.

We believe that staking should not mean locking your assets out of the productive economy. By bridging the gap between security and liquidity, haedal empowers every SUI holder to participate in network validation, earn competitive APY, and simultaneously leverage their position in lending protocols, DEXes, and beyond.

Extending our vision to the Walrus decentralized storage network, haedal also supports WAL staking, issuing haWAL tokens so storage contributors can participate in Walrus governance without sacrificing capital efficiency.

Core Features

Liquid Staking (haSUI)

Stake SUI and receive haSUI, a value-accruing token that automatically reflects staking rewards. Use haSUI across all Sui DeFi protocols without unstaking.

Walrus Liquid Staking (haWAL)

Stake WAL tokens for haWAL to participate in the Walrus decentralized storage network while maintaining full liquidity and earning compounding rewards.

Automated Validator Selection

haedal's smart routing algorithm distributes stake optimally across a curated set of high-performance Sui validators, maximizing APY and reducing slashing risk.

Haedal Market Maker (HMM)

Protocol-owned liquidity powering haedal's HMM pool. 50% of pool earnings are redistributed as bonus rewards to all haSUI stakers, creating a flywheel of yield.

Instant Unstaking

Exit your staking position immediately without waiting for epoch boundaries. haedal provides instant liquidity for users who need flexibility and speed.

DeFi Composability

haSUI and haWAL are natively integrated with leading Sui protocols — DEXes, lending markets, CDP platforms, and yield aggregators — enabling stacked returns.

How haedal Works

  • 1

    Deposit SUI or WAL

    Connect your Sui wallet and deposit any amount of SUI (or WAL) into the haedal staking pool. There is no minimum stake requirement.

  • 2

    Receive haSUI or haWAL

    Instantly receive haSUI or haWAL tokens at the current exchange rate. These tokens represent your share of the staking pool and automatically appreciate over time as rewards accrue.

  • 3

    Earn Rewards Passively

    No manual claiming needed. The haSUI/SUI exchange rate increases each epoch as validator rewards are harvested. Simply hold haSUI and your balance grows in SUI terms.

  • 4

    Deploy in DeFi

    Use your haSUI or haWAL across the Sui DeFi ecosystem. Supply them as collateral, provide liquidity, trade, or leverage — all while continuing to earn underlying staking rewards.

  • 5

    Redeem Anytime

    Redeem your haTokens for the original SUI or WAL at any time, either via standard unstaking (1 epoch for SUI, 2 epochs for WAL) or instant exit via the haedal liquidity pool.

Token Ecosystem

haedal operates a multi-token ecosystem designed to align incentives across all participants — stakers, liquidity providers, and governance participants.

Liquid Staking Token
haSUI
Yield-bearing SUI receipt
Walrus Staking Token
haWAL
Yield-bearing WAL receipt
Governance Token
HAEDAL
Protocol governance & rewards

HAEDAL is the native governance token of the haedal protocol. By locking HAEDAL as veHAEDAL, holders gain voting power over protocol parameters, validator selection criteria, fee distribution ratios, and future product directions. veHAEDAL holders also receive a share of protocol revenue and boosted staking rewards.

haSUI and haWAL are not merely receipt tokens — they are productive DeFi primitives. Both tokens carry the full utility of their underlying assets while additionally accruing staking yields. They are designed for maximum composability across the Sui ecosystem.

Security & Audits

Security is at the heart of haedal. Our smart contracts are written in Move, Sui's safe-by-design smart contract language that eliminates entire categories of vulnerabilities common in EVM environments. All haedal contracts undergo rigorous audits by leading security firms before deployment.

haedal employs a multi-layered security model including on-chain governance timelock delays for parameter changes, conservative validator selection based on uptime, commission rates, and stake distribution metrics, and protocol-owned liquidity buffers to ensure solvency of the instant unstaking facility.

The haedal protocol is fully non-custodial. Users retain full ownership of their staked assets at all times. There are no admin keys capable of accessing or redirecting user funds.

Ecosystem Integrations

haedal has established deep integrations across the Sui ecosystem, making haSUI and haWAL among the most widely supported assets in Sui DeFi. Our integration partners span DEXes, lending markets, perpetual exchanges, yield optimizers, and NFT platforms.

DEX Liquidity

haSUI is available as a trading pair on major Sui DEXes. Liquidity providers can earn trading fees on top of underlying staking APY.

Lending Markets

Use haSUI as collateral on Sui lending protocols to borrow other assets, creating leveraged staking positions or releasing liquidity without selling.

CDP Protocols

Mint stablecoins collateralized by haSUI on Sui CDP platforms, combining staking yield with stable asset exposure in a single position.

Yield Aggregators

Automated yield strategies built on top of haedal compound rewards across multiple protocols, maximizing returns for passive holders.
