Sui is making a notable stride in decentralized finance by introducing an open standard for verifiable trading data. The initiative, revealed in a tweet from the crypto commentator @SuiNetwork, involves the release of the Walrus Verifiable Trading Standard (WVTS) by Walrus Protocol and Astros, featuring over 22 million records already published. This development is crucial as it aims to enhance data integrity and accessibility in the blockchain ecosystem.
WVTS is an open standard designed to turn trading activity into verifiable records that traders, developers, and artificial intelligence agents can use with confidence. The initiative aims to solve a structural problem in agentic trading: the current inability to verify the data on which AI agents operate. Onchain markets generate detailed records of every execution, position, and liquidation, but that information is fragmented across exchanges, wallets, analytics platforms, and indexers, with no common structure. WVTS defines a common way to publish trading activity on Walrus, with each record independently verifiable without needing to go through the venue that generated it.
Astros Scan, launched this week as the first product built on the standard, already demonstrates its scope. Since April, Astros has written over 22 million records to Walrus asynchronously and without additional latency. The platform allows users to visualize account activity, positions, execution history, and liquidations in a single dashboard. It also incorporates Trading DNA, an AI-generated profile of each user’s trading behavior built from their own onchain history.
“Every fill on Astros can now be verified by someone who doesn’t trust us,” said Jerry Liu, founder and CEO of Astros. Kostas Chalkias, co-founder and Chief Cryptographer of Mysten Labs (original contributor to Sui and Walrus), stressed that agentic trading needs a shared and verifiable standard, given that AI agents cannot audit those who operate the market. The specification, reference implementation, and development kit will be published as open source under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing adoption across any network.
The move comes at a time when transparency in data handling is increasingly vital for user confidence and regulatory compliance. While broader crypto markets show mixed signals, Sui’s new infrastructure could significantly impact how data is utilized across decentralized applications, potentially boosting demand for its network capabilities.
