Use cases
Containers unlock a simple idea: if you can control it with a dWallet, you can trade it through a Container. By depositing a shared dWallet cap, users “park” signing authority in a stable, indexable vault. Umi + our API can scan the source chain, normalize metadata, and expose the asset to DApps as something they can list, bundle, and trade on Sui.
Trading on Drip.Market (premiere container marketplace on Sui)
Drip.Market is the premier place to trade Containers on Sui. It’s built to turn cross-chain assets into a single marketplace experience: users can trade items from Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and more through one Sui-native flow.
Here’s the loop:
Deposit a shared dWallet cap into a Container (signing is locked while deposited)
Tag what you want indexed (NFTs, bundles, contracts, roles, etc.)
Umi verifies holdings on the source chain and hydrates metadata
Drip.Market lists and trades it on Sui as a container-backed asset. They also simplify this flow by letting you simply send assets to a deposit address, and doing everything hidden from the user.
Single NFT listings
Deposit a cap, add one claim (example: a single ERC-721), and list it. The item becomes indexable and tradable without needing a wrapped representation.
Bundles and multi-NFT listings
A Container can hold multiple claims, so users can bundle several NFTs together (example: multiple Ethereum NFTs plus a Solana NFT) and sell them as a package.
Trading “ownership” beyond NFTs
Containers can represent higher-level control where signing is the asset:
Ethereum contract ownership (selling the owner/admin control)
privileged roles/permissions tied to an account (admin/operator roles)
If a wallet can sign the action, it can be modeled, indexed, and traded with the right verification and settlement rules.
Tagging for indexing
Applications can let users tag what they want indexed across different categories so assets can be discovered and rendered cleanly. Umi’s API makes this simple and standardized, while DApps can still independently verify via their own chain RPCs/indexers when they need maximum assurance.
