$SUI
Sui is a layer-1 blockchain and smart contract platform developed by Mysten Labs, a team of former Meta (Facebook) engineers. It aims to provide high throughput, low latency, and scalability for decentralized applications (dApps) and digital assets.
Key Features of Sui:
1. Move Programming Language:
Sui uses a modified version of Move, a smart contract language originally developed for Facebook’s Diem project. Move is designed for safety and flexibility in digital asset management.
2. Object-Centric Model:
Instead of using accounts and balances like Ethereum, Sui uses an object-based model, where all assets are treated as programmable objects with unique IDs. This approach improves parallelism and performance.
3. Parallel Execution:
Unlike traditional blockchains that process transactions sequentially, Sui can execute many transactions in parallel, which significantly boosts speed and throughput.
4. High Scalability:
The architecture supports horizontal scaling, which means performance can increase as more resources are added (e.g., more validators).
5. Low Fees and Fast Finality:
Sui offers low gas fees and sub-second finality, making it ideal for real-time applications like gaming, social media, and payments.
Token (SUI):
Token name: SUI
Use cases:
