Current
Current is a lending protocol on Sui offering isolated lending markets and one-click yield multiplication. The Sui review completed 2026-08-14 found that holdings on Sui can be frozen by a third of stake via standing validator deny lists and were moved without the owner’s keys by a Foundation-organized upgrade in May 2025, the Cetus response. Nothing settled on Sui is reachable for advised client money, whatever the venue’s quality. Current held about $20.9M in TVL across 12 pools at the 2026-08-14 survey.

Watched nightly: a warning on its venues or files, or a cited document that changes, reopens the memo. The first confirmation is due 2026-11-15.
The research file
Mechanism applicability
Current describes isolated lending markets and a Multiply product that uses a flash loan and repeated supply-and-borrow exposure to create leveraged yield in one transaction. This establishes utilization, collateral, oracle and liquidation dependence; it does not alter that every observed deployment settles on Sui.
Current observation and chain applicability
The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 reported approximately $16.3M of Current TVL and identified Sui as its sole chain. Current’s own live materials also describe a Sui lending and yield platform, so Current remains an application of the shared v1 rejected-chain dossier.
Control and exit applicability
Users depend on Current’s isolated-market parameters and contracts for collateral factors, utilization, borrowing and liquidation, while final settlement remains subject to Sui’s control perimeter. Lender exit depends on available market cash; Multiply also requires orderly deleveraging and repayment.
Why the class rule decides
The shared v1 Sui rejected-chain dossier controls while Current is Sui-only. Reopen only if that dossier changes or Current establishes meaningful liquidity on an approved chain. Then verify market and oracle parameters, admin controls, liquidations, concentration, audits and incidents, withdrawal capacity, and Multiply unwind behavior.
Class rule
The rejected chain class is outside the approved structures, so every protocol in it is not approved until the rule changes. The rule is about the structure, not an adverse finding about this protocol, and it is not a client instruction. The events that would reopen it are listed with the memo.
Sources
The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls
The research above describes the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The layer with the most administrative power sets the position’s effective control; that describes control, not quality or suitability.
