If I had to use one word to describe the recent Sui ecosystem, it would be that sharks are sweeping across the entire market.
Launched by Jackson.io, Sharkz NFT has quietly sparked a wave of '$Sui Shark Wave' this year, showcasing a rare cohesion from PFP, community atmosphere to offline physical events. For the relatively young Sui ecosystem, Sharkz is not just an NFT, but more like the wind that rolls up the entire ecosystem.
9999 a潮流符号 composed of sharks, becoming a new identity for Sui users
Sharkz is centered around 9999 independent styled NFTs, freely combined from six components:
Background, headgear, eyes, body, mouth, accessories.
These vivid, interesting, and trendy shark images have gradually formed a consensus among Sui users:
Wearing a shark means you are part of the Sui ecosystem.
The community has begun to refer to themselves as 'Sharkz'.
PFP spreads on the chain, X, Discord, Telegram are filled with shark avatars.
This is the initial form of the shark wave:
It’s not a hard push, but a natural spread.
Overseas events are fully packed: the shark wave extends from the chain to the real world
The wave's spread has not stopped on the chain.
Philippines: The Sharkz Night —— 800 people packed the largest club
Japan: Holders' spontaneous gatherings exceeded expectations
Hong Kong: 'Sharkz Up' series events form a branded community party
An NFT can attract a large number of participants in multiple countries, which is quite rare in the Sui ecosystem.
Physical events allow people to see for the first time:
The shark wave is not just superficial; it truly brings people together.
Virtual to physical: shark dolls and apparel become new generation collectibles
The second wave of the shark wave is the extension of the IP.
Jackson.io launches a series of Sharkz dolls, apparel, and limited merchandise,
becoming popular collectibles during the event.
Many users share:
"Originally, it was just because I liked NFTs, but later I came to like the whole IP."
This intertwining of 'on-chain identity × real-world accessories' makes the shark wave clearer:
Sharkz is becoming a culture.
