Sui has gone live as settlement infrastructure for Daya, extending the blockchain into stablecoin-based business payments across Africa. The integration gives Daya customers access to gasless stablecoin transfers and treasury rebalancing for cross-border payments, allowing businesses to move digital dollars without separately acquiring or maintaining SUI to cover transaction fees.
According to Sui’s official announcement, the network now settles transfers across Daya Business, Daya Pro and Daya APIs, covering payment, liquidity, remittance and developer-facing workflows. The integration is already live in Nigeria, where Daya says it holds the relevant licenses, while expansion into South Africa, Ghana and Kenya is planned as additional local-currency rails become available.
Gasless Transfers Target Business Payments
Sui introduced protocol-level gasless stablecoin transfers in May, allowing supported stablecoins to move without requiring the sender to maintain a separate SUI balance. Daya is applying that infrastructure to business payments rather than treating gas abstraction as a standalone wallet feature, reducing an extra operational step for companies using stablecoins for international settlement.
Daya Business provides tools for global payments, USD access, treasury management, approvals and reconciliation, while Daya Pro handles liquidity and foreign exchange. Daya APIs extend the same payment infrastructure to fintech companies, platforms and enterprises that want to embed stablecoin-based financial services into their own products. Sui therefore functions beneath several parts of Daya’s stack rather than supporting only individual wallet-to-wallet transfers.
Treasury rebalancing is another part of the integration. Businesses can move stablecoin liquidity through Sui as payment needs change across markets, giving Daya an on-chain settlement layer for managing balances alongside its local payment infrastructure. The announcement does not disclose transaction volume, stablecoin balances or the number of businesses already using the Sui route, so the launch should not yet be treated as evidence of large-scale adoption.
Daya Plans Expansion Beyond Nigeria
The geographic rollout currently begins with Nigeria. Daya plans to add South Africa, Ghana and Kenya as it activates local-currency infrastructure in those markets, potentially extending Sui-backed settlement across a wider group of African payment corridors. The expansion remains planned rather than live in those three countries.
The integration also reflects a broader payments strategy for Sui. The network is positioning gasless stablecoin transfers as infrastructure that can remain largely invisible to the end user, allowing businesses to interact with digital-dollar settlement without needing to understand or hold the blockchain’s native gas asset. Sui says supported stablecoin transfers carry a $0 network fee under the feature.
The measurable development is that Daya has moved Sui settlement into production across its three core products in Nigeria. The next indicators will be transaction volume, business adoption and whether the planned expansion into South Africa, Ghana and Kenya converts the integration from a single-market deployment into a broader regional payment rail.
