What is Sui?
Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for high-performance decentralized applications (dApps), particularly in areas like DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. It aims to overcome limitations of previous blockchain generations by offering:
* Near-instant, low-cost transactions: Sui achieves this through its unique object-centric data model and parallel transaction execution.
* Scalability: It's built to handle high throughput, with reported capabilities of up to 297,000 transactions per second (TPS).
* Move programming language: Sui leverages a modified version of the Move programming language (originally developed for the Diem blockchain), which is designed for secure asset management and efficient smart contracts.
* Object-centric model: Unlike traditional blockchains that focus on accounts, Sui treats data as independent "objects," improving transaction efficiency and asset management.
* Consensus Mechanism: Sui uses a delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism, incorporating protocols like Narwhal and Bullshark for enhanced scalability and security.
