What is Sui?
Sui is a layer1 blockchain network built on Move developed by Mysten Labs. The project had gathered broad interest from the crypto community — raising $300 million in a September 2022 funding round that included bankrupt exchange FTX.
“Sui’s object-centric model, based on its novel architecture, enables parallel transaction processing, sub-second finality (on average, just 480 milliseconds), and rich on-chain assets.”
According to information on its official Twitter handle, the network has 100 globally distributed validators and achieved a peak throughput of nearly 300,000 transactions per second (TPS).
The managing director of the Sui Foundation, Greg Siourounis, said:
“Today is a monumental milestone for the entire Sui community and the digital asset ecosystem as a whole. For the first time, builders and users have access to a Layer 1 blockchain that allows developers to build freely, without being inhibited by complex infrastructure, and unlocks endless possibilities for users across the world.”
