Base to Sui Bridge

There is no direct official bridge between Base and Sui. USDC moves through Circle CCTP, while ETH and other tokens go through Mayan, Wormhole or an aggregator that can pay out SUI directly.

Short answer

Base is compatible and Sui is not. A Sui address also starts with 0x, but it has 64 characters after that, and you need a separate Sui wallet such as Slush, Suiet or Phantom.

on Base is paid in ETH, and on Sui in SUI. Sui fees are tiny, but without SUI you cannot move the tokens you receive.

The native Sui Bridge only works with Ethereum. Going Base to Ethereum to Sui is possible, but the official withdrawal from Base to Ethereum takes about 7 days, so people usually pick direct routes.

Base is built by Coinbase on the OP Stack. USDC on Base is issued by Circle itself, so the CCTP route is convenient for USDC.

Base is an Ethereum , while Sui is a separate blockchain with a different virtual machine and address format. They share no .

Sui Bridge connects Sui only to Ethereum. Direct transfers therefore use CCTP, Wormhole and .

How to move Base to Sui

Moving USDC or ETH to Sui

  1. 1

    Prepare a Sui wallet

    Install a Sui wallet and copy your address. It is longer than an Base address, so paste it in full.

  2. 2

    Open the bridge

    Go to the official site of Mayan, an app with CCTP, or an aggregator. Pick Base as the source and Sui as the destination.

  3. 3

    Compare the quote

    Check which token will arrive: native USDC, SUI or a wrapped version. If you have no SUI for gas, pick a route that pays out a little SUI.

  4. 4

    Confirm and check the balance

    Sign the transaction on Base. When it completes, check the balance in your Sui wallet.

Fees and timing

Gas on Base is usually small and paid in ETH. The main difference between options is the bridge fee and the swap rate.

If you receive SUI instead of the original token, the price includes a swap, so compare the final amount.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting an Base address where a Sui address is needed. The formats differ.
  • Receiving tokens on Sui with no SUI for fees.
  • Assuming all USDC on Sui is the same. Native USDC and Wormhole wrapped USDC are different tokens.
  • Expecting ETH to turn into SUI by itself. That needs a swap, in the bridge or later on Sui.

Before you transfer

  • Send a small amount first if you are using the route for the first time.
  • Check exactly which token will arrive: native or wrapped.
  • Open bridges only from their official addresses.
