What is Su?
Sui is a layer1 blockchain network built on Move, developed by Mysten Labs. The project had sparked widespread interest from the crypto community – raising $300 million in a September 2022 funding round that included bankrupted exchange FTX.
“Sui’s object-centric model, based on its new architecture, enables parallel transaction processing, sub-second finality (only 480 milliseconds on average), and rich on-chain assets.”
According to information on his official Twitter leverthe network has 100 globally distributed validators and achieved a peak throughput of nearly 300,000 transactions per second (TPS).
The general manager 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 held back by complex infrastructure, unlocking endless possibilities for users around the world.”
