What is Sui?
Team and launch
Sui mainnet opened on May 3, 2023. The network was developed by Mysten Labs, founded by Evan Cheng, Sam Blackshear, Adeniyi Abiodun, Kostas Chalkias and George Danezis. Its core team includes former contributors to Meta's Novi and Diem projects. Smart contracts use the Move language. Assets are represented as objects with defined ownership and access rules.
Execution and consensus
Sui uses delegated proof of stake to select and weight its validators. Mysticeti supplies its DAG-based consensus protocol. User transactions enter consensus through the validator submission process. Execution can proceed in parallel where transactions access independent objects. Shared-object operations are coordinated according to the order agreed by consensus.
SUI supply and storage
The token's maximum supply is 10 billion SUI. Tokens enter circulation through the release of allocated supply rather than proof-of-work mining. SUI covers computation and storage charges. A storage fund accounts for the cost of retaining onchain data, while deleting eligible data can return storage rebates. Holders can delegate SUI to validators, with staking participation organized into epochs.
