For additional information of general risks associated with crypto assets, you may refer to the Newton Platform Risk Statement.  

Please note that these risks and the associated summaries or overviews provided for each herein are not intended to be an exhaustive discussion pertaining to all such risks and, in addition, there may be other risks that come with exposure to SUI. We encourage all Newton users to perform their own due diligence to assess the risks associated with SUI and to determine whether this level of risk is acceptable to them.  Neither the SUI team/founders nor Newton guarantees the value of SUI, and holders of SUI will not have any recourse to SUI or Newton if the value of SUI declines for any reason whatsoever.

Newton’s Evaluation Process

Newton has reviewed and assessed SUI prior to making it available on the Newton Platform and has concluded that SUI is not a security or derivative under Canadian securities legislation; however, there is a risk that this conclusion could change in the future and that, in such event, Newton will be required to halt, suspend, and then remove SUI from its platform as described in the Newton Platform Risk Statement.

Further, as indicated above, no Canadian securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about SUI, including an opinion that SUI is not itself a security and/or derivative.

Based on publicly available information Newton has reviewed SUI, including, but not limited to, a review of the following:

• The creation, governance, usage, and design of SUI, including the source code, security, and roadmap for growth in the developer community and, if applicable, the background of the developer(s) that created SUI.
• The supply, demand, maturity, utility, and liquidity of SUI.
• Material technical risks associated with SUI, including any code defects, security breaches and other threats concerning SUI and its supporting blockchain (such as the susceptibility to hacking and impact of forking), or the practices and protocols that apply to them.
• Legal and regulatory risks associated with SUI, including (i) any pending, potential, or prior civil, regulatory, criminal, or enforcement action relating to the issuance, distribution, or use of SUI, and (ii) statements made by any securities regulatory authorities in Canada, other regulators in IOSCO-member jurisdictions, or the regulator with the most significant connection to SUI about whether SUI, or generally about whether the type of crypto asset, is a security and/or derivative.

Addendum to Crypto Asset Statement (SUI)

How Does SUI staking work?

SUI uses a delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism, where any token holder can stake their SUI to support validators on the network. Validators are responsible for verifying transactions, maintaining on-chain records, and producing new blocks on the blockchain. Validators must meet specific requirements to join the active validator set, while regular token holders can delegate their SUI to these validators to participate in staking without running their own node.

Staking rewards are distributed to both validators and delegators at the end of each epoch, based on total stake and validator performance. Validators may take a commission fee from the rewards earned by delegators. Please see “Staking Fees” below. Staked tokens remain locked for the duration of the epoch, and can be withdrawn or redelegated once the epoch ends.

Supported Validators

The infrastructure providers of the validator nodes that Newton arranges to stake SUI with and the total fees for staking SUI are set out in our Staking Asset Supplementary Disclosure: Sui (SUI).

Approved validators will receive a fee (a Validator Commission) based on a percentage of staking rewards earned from the delegated SUI. The Validator Commission is determined by the respective validators and will be deducted by the SUI protocol upon the distribution of staking rewards. The estimated annual percent yield (APY) presented in-app is inclusive of this fee.

Epochs

Activity on Sui is partitioned into epochs, with each epoch being approximately 24 hours. 

Staking Rewards

Staking rewards on Sui are computed once per epoch. Rewards accrued in a given epoch are issued to all participants (validators) in the first block of the following epoch. When rewards are received, Newton will calculate and distribute your share of SUI staking rewards to your respective account on a weekly basis, following an initial warm-up period of one epoch. For each rewards distribution period, your share of SUI staking rewards is proportional to the amount of SUI that you had staked when the reward period began. When you unstake your SUI, you may be ineligible to receive any staking rewards for that period.

Staking Fees

Newton charges you a fee equal to a percentage of staking rewards to be received by or attributed to your staked SUI through Newton’s Platform. The amount of the fee for staking SUI is set out in our Staking Asset Supplementary Disclosure: Sui (SUI) next to “Reward Fee”. This fee includes the Validator Commission described above along with Newton’s staking fee, and is deducted prior to any staking rewards being distributed to your account.

Custody of Staked SUI

SUI staked through Newton’s platform are staked from dedicated wallets with Newton’s custodian (Coinbase Custody Trust Company) with approved validators. Newton’s custodian will continue to hold the private keys or other cryptographic key material required to control staked SUI for so long as these assets are staked. Your staked SUI will not leave Newton’s omnibus accounts with the cold wallet custodian and your SUI will continue to be attributed to your account.
