Sui Network: A revolutionary high-performance blockchain

Sui Network (hereinafter referred to as Sui) is a Layer1 public chain reconstructed by the Mysten Labs team based on first principles. Its core goal is to build the infrastructure to carry the next billion users of Web3. This team, formed by former core members of the Meta Diem project, officially launched the mainnet in May 2023 with a deep understanding of blockchain scalability and security. Unlike traditional public chains such as Ethereum, Sui breaks through the shackles of serial transaction processing from the underlying design, and achieves sub-second confirmation (480 millisecond finality) and a throughput of 297,000 transactions per second through parallel protocols, compressing transaction costs to microseconds.

Sui uses the Byzantine fault-tolerant Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism to ensure network security, and introduces an object-oriented data model, providing developers with more choices and application scenarios, especially suitable for building complex and innovative protocols and ownership frameworks.

Sui’s core goal is to simplify and improve the creation process of various applications and functions in the Web3 eco. By providing fast smart contract deployment and high transaction speed, Sui provides an efficient, low-latency blockchain environment for developers and users alike. This design concept makes Sui particularly suitable for applications with high real-time requirements, such as games, decentralized finance (DeFi), and other services that require fast response.

It is worth noting that Sui’s development team came from Facebook’s (now Meta) Diem project, and they applied the experience and technological innovation accumulated in the Diem project to Sui’s design. This background brings Sui rich industry experience and technical accumulation, which helps it stand out in the highly competitive blockchain market.

what is sui move language？

The Move language is one of Sui’s core technologies. It was originally developed for Facebook’s Diem project and is now the main programming language for the Sui network. The Move language was originally designed to ensure the security and efficiency of smart contracts, which is essential for building a sustainable financial eco.

As the soul of Sui, the Move programming language gives it unique resource management capabilities. Through the object ownership model, Sui has achieved a leap from static storage to dynamic evolution of digital assets. For example, the property update of NFT and the life cycle management of game props can be completed without destroying the security of the chain. This design concept is in sharp contrast to the traditional blockchain development method based on account abstraction, allowing developers to build complex applications more naturally and intuitively.

For developers, the learning curve of the Move language is relatively short. It is reported that developers usually only need 4 hours to 4 days to master the basics of the Move language and start writing and deploying useful applications. This quick-to-get-started feature, coupled with the security and efficiency of the language itself, has led to a rapid increase in the proportion of Move language among Web3 developers, currently accounting for about 6% to 7%, and this proportion is still rising rapidly.

What is Sui’s innovative technology?

Sui’s technological innovations are mainly reflected in its parallel processing capabilities and unique object model. These innovations not only improve the performance of the network, but also provide developers with a more flexible application development environment.

Sui’s parallel processing capabilities allow transactions that do not depend on each other to be processed simultaneously, which greatly improves the throughput of the network. For example, on the Sui network, two completely unrelated transactions, a user transferring money and another user buying a plane ticket, can be carried out simultaneously without being uted in sequence. This parallel processing capability enables Sui to easily cope with high-concurrency scenarios and makes large-scale applications possible.

The object model is another important technical breakthrough of Sui. In the Sui network, all assets and data are regarded as objects. This design allows developers to manage and operate on-chain assets more intuitively. For example, an NFT can be regarded as an independent object that can be easily transferred, combined or decomposed without the need for complex smart contract operations.

In addition, Sui has introduced innovative storage solutions. For example, Walrus is a decentralized programmable storage platform that not only provides low-cost data storage, but also supports complex data operations and management. This provides strong infrastructure support for developers to build large-scale, data-intensive applications. The combination of Sui and the Walrus storage network provides low-cost, highly available data layer support for AI agents. The OpenGraph launched in 2025 has achieved an 8-fold increase in the on-chain reasoning speed of the TensorFlow model, and the cost has been reduced to 1/20 of the AWS cloud service. This capability reduces the latency of on-chain data analysis from minutes to seconds.

What is the Sui eco like?

The Sui eco is developing rapidly, covering multiple fields, with DeFi and game applications being particularly prominent. Since entering 2025, the total locked value (TVL) of the Sui mainnet has stabilized at around $1 billion, and its ranking has jumped to 10th in the entire blockchain market.

In the DeFi field, many high-quality projects have emerged on Sui. For example, DeepBook is a decentralized central limit order book exchange, and NAVI Protocol is the largest lending protocol on the Sui chain with a TVL of nearly $400 million. In addition, Cetus, as the DEX with the largest trading volume on the Sui chain, has a 24-hour trading volume of more than $160 million, demonstrating Sui’s huge potential in the DeFi field.

In terms of games, Sui is actively laying out. SuiPlay is a highly watched project that is regarded as the “Web3 version of Steam”. It not only supports Sui native games, but also compatible with games from multiple game libraries such as Steam. This cross-platform compatibility has attracted a large number of game developers and players to Sui.

Meme tokens have also occupied a place in the Sui eco. Meme projects such as HIPPO and BLUB have achieved remarkable success on the Sui chain, with market capitalizations of $116 million and $51 million respectively. The prosperity of these Meme projects not only increases the diversity of the eco, but also attracts more users to participate in the Sui network.

It is worth mentioning that Sui has also launched innovative user experience optimization technologies, such as zkLogin login technology, which supports users to log in to Sui wallets through Web2 accounts such as Google or Facebook, greatly reducing the user’s usage threshold. This seamless connection between Web2 and Web3 makes it possible for Sui to attract more ordinary users.

As a leading exchange, Gate.io is also closely following the development of Sui and providing users with Sui-related trading and investment opportunities.

Conclusion

Sui is reshaping the blockchain industry with its revolutionary technology and thriving eco. The security and efficiency of the Move language provide developers with powerful tools, while innovations in parallel processing and object models have greatly improved network performance. With the advancement of developer programs such as Sui Hacker House, its eco is expanding at a rate of 3 new projects per week. When innovations such as AI agents and cross-chain interoperability (such as integration with Arweave‘s Layer2) are implemented, Sui is expected to become the Android/Windows of the Web3 era-a blockchain operating that is truly accessible to a billion users.

Risk Warning: Blockchain technology is developing rapidly, Sui may face challenges from competitors and uncertainties in regulatory policies, and investors should carefully assess potential risks.
