Sui Wallet (often nicknamed “Slush” by the community) is a friendly, official wallet experience designed for the Sui ecosystem across mobile and a browser extension. It brings clear approvals, readable transactions, and reliable connectivity to Sui dApps, NFTs, and DeFi. This comprehensive guide covers onboarding, accounts, transfers, gas and fees, staking, NFT management, dApp connections, safety best practices, and FAQs—so you can explore Sui confidently.
Sui Wallet offers clarity and control. It focuses on human‑readable prompts, simple network context, and consistent account views across mobile and extension. Whether you’re sending SUI, minting NFTs, or interacting with dApps, approvals maintain transparency and put you in charge. Labels, network indicators, and friendly error messages make it easier to understand what’s happening before you sign.
Official experienceBuilt to align with Sui ecosystem standards.

Mobile + extensionSeamless flows across devices.
New users appreciate guided setup and clear prompts; creators and power users enjoy dependable signing, network‑aware operations, and granular control of connections and approvals.
Tip: Pin the extension to your toolbar and name accounts by purpose (Main, dApp, NFT) for fewer mistakes.
Getting started is quick. Install the Sui Wallet app on mobile or add the browser extension in a Chromium‑based browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera). Create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your secret recovery phrase. Enable local lock options (PIN, password, biometrics) for quick protection. Back up your recovery phrase offline and keep it private—anyone with it can access your funds.
Note: Back up your recovery phrase offline before connecting to any dApp.
Sui Wallet organizes accounts with simple labels and consistent balance views. When sending, the wallet displays recipient address previews and fee summaries. Gas and fees appear in human‑readable form so you can decide confidently. For first‑time sends, start with a small test transfer to validate addresses and your workflow.
If you manage multiple accounts, keep a dedicated “dApp” account for experiments and a “Main” account for long‑term holdings. This reduces risk and confusion when you interact with new protocols.
Sui Wallet brings key Sui experiences together. You can connect to dApps with one click, review readable approvals, manage NFTs, and stake SUI where supported. Transfers remain legible; approvals outline what’s requested; network context is visible before you sign. If a prompt looks unclear, you can deny, disconnect, and revisit the action later.
Click to connect, approve, and revoke sessions. Keep auto‑connect disabled for unfamiliar dApps, and enable it only for trusted experiences you use frequently.
View collections, inspect metadata, and track activity. For marketplace interactions, inspect contract prompts and sign only what you understand.
Stake SUI with guided steps. Review validator details, understand rewards, and monitor accruals over time, maintaining control through readable approvals.
Confirm you’re on the correct chain and account before actions. The wallet keeps context front‑and‑center to prevent mistakes.
Advanced users can fine‑tune approvals, manage per‑dApp permissions, and keep separate accounts for testing new protocols. Thoughtful defaults help everyone operate safely.
Sui Wallet follows a local‑first model: keys are generated and stored on your device, and backups use your recovery phrase. Combine this with smart habits—verify addresses, scrutinize approvals, revoke unused connections—and you’ll build a resilient routine for everyday activity on Sui.
If app and wallet details differ, trust the wallet’s prompt, re‑open the dApp, and re‑verify before proceeding.
