Project X vs SUN.io: fees, chains and features (2026)

Project X is a DEX built on Hyperliquid, with swaps, liquidity provision and a portfolio view in a straightforward interface. It also has a Cashdrop section, but the project does not explain what it is; check its in-app description before participating. Project X lists about $36.7 million in TVL, substantially more than SUN.io’s roughly $2.5 million. That is a difference in listed liquidity, not a guarantee of execution quality or safety.

SUN.io is built on TRON and combines swaps with stake-mining, liquidity mining and SUN-token governance. Its description highlights stablecoin swaps, which may appeal to users already holding TRON assets. The practical choice starts with the network you use: Project X is for Hyperliquid, while SUN.io is for TRON. Neither is described as offering access across multiple chains.

Project X advertises 0% swap fees, but the fee model is not explained in detail. It is unclear whether the claim covers every pool and pair or could change, and liquidity-provider returns are not published. The advertised rate also does not remove network gas, price impact or slippage; check the trade screen before confirming a swap.

SUN.io does not publish its swap fees, pool fees, or any staking and withdrawal charges. Its swap interface shows the fee for a trade before confirmation, and TRON network actions use resources usually paid in TRX. That means public sources do not support a complete fee comparison: Project X has a headline claim, while SUN.io’s protocol fee levels are unknown. For either DEX, inspect the quoted transaction costs and wallet prompts before signing rather than relying on a headline fee.

Project X has no audits listed, and no public security reviews, bug bounties or insurance are named. Its smart-contract risk is therefore not documented through publicly listed audits. The protocol is young, and risks include contract bugs, pool manipulation and impermanent loss for liquidity providers. Its 0% fee claim should not be treated as evidence of safety.

SUN.io has two audits listed, but the auditors, dates, scope and findings are not published. That is more audit coverage on record than Project X lists, but it does not show what was examined or whether issues were resolved. SUN.io users still face smart-contract risk, token-price risk and possible impermanent loss. On both platforms, keep control of your wallet, verify official links and contract addresses, and review token approvals. An audit listing is useful context, not a guarantee against loss.

Project X is the more focused option if your main interest is swapping on Hyperliquid. Its interface groups swaps, liquidity and portfolio information, and its listed TVL is considerably higher than SUN.io’s. However, the project does not explain how it earns revenue under its zero-fee claim or what liquidity providers may earn. The Cashdrop section is also unexplained, so do not assume its terms or eligibility.

SUN.io suits users who want more DeFi activities in one TRON-native platform. It combines swaps with staking, liquidity mining and governance through SUN. Its stablecoin focus may be relevant for TRON users, but details of reward programs and fees need checking on the platform. Both products have an ease-of-use score of 7, so that rating alone does not distinguish them. Choose based on your network, the functions you need and the transaction details shown before you approve an action.

Choose Project X if you already use Hyperliquid and value an advertised 0% swap fee, a simple set of trading and portfolio tools, and a larger listed TVL. Its main trade-off is limited public detail: no audits are listed, the fee model is unexplained, and Cashdrop has no published description. Treat the headline fee as something to verify in the app.

Choose SUN.io if you use TRON and want swaps alongside stake-mining, liquidity mining and SUN-token governance. It has two audits listed, although their details are not published, and its fees are also unknown until you inspect the trade interface. Its TVL is much smaller than Project X’s. In short, Project X is the clearer fit for Hyperliquid swap users focused on its fee claim; SUN.io is the broader fit for TRON users seeking staking and governance.
