Brand Respect and Usage
- Community members can reference Sui in the context of the network on which their project is developed or the type of Validator they operate, but they may not use the Sui brand, logo, or name in any part of their project's name.
- Community members may refer to Sui in their documentation, media outreach, and in research papers.
- Community members may not attempt to register or register SUI as part of a trademark or service mark, either alone or in combination with their own or any third-party trademarks
Examples of proper use:

Social Media Engagement:
- Responsible Sharing: While promoting Sui Foundation initiatives is encouraged, community members should verify the authenticity of third-party content before sharing to prevent inadvertently endorsing scams.
Transparent Affiliation:
- The Sui Foundation sponsors grants, hackathons, and similar activities to support projects. Participants and winners who choose to create content related to these activities should be clear about the nature of their participation, and they may not use the Sui brand assets to amplify their content without prior written consent from the Sui Foundation.
- Some projects may enter into sponsorship or partnership agreements with the Sui Foundation, and should characterize those agreements in the manner stated in the agreement. No project or community member may claim sponsorship or partnership unless a formal agreement is in place.
Reporting Suspicious Activities:
- Community members are encouraged to report any suspicious activities or entities misusing the Sui brand for fraudulent purposes. Rapid reporting helps us maintain a secure and trustworthy ecosystem.
- Reports of improper use of the Sui trademark and brand assets, as outlined above, can be made via the security issue reporting form.
By adhering to these community behaviors and guidelines, we can collectively contribute to a secure, transparent, and thriving ecosystem. Our shared efforts will strengthen collective reputation, foster trust among users, and contribute to ecosystem growth and success.
