what's sui?

Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform designed to enable fast, secure, and accessible digital asset ownership, bridging the gap between Web3 capabilities and Web2 usability. Launched in 2023 by Mysten Labs, it utilizes an object-centric data model and the Move programming language to achieve high throughput, low latency, and scalability for applications in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and beyond. Key features include parallel transaction processing for sub-second finality, low-cost transactions, and enhanced privacy through zkLogin and sponsored transactions. The network supports a vibrant ecosystem with recent milestones like record TVL surpassing $2.6 billion, integrations for BTCfi, and launches of native stablecoins such as suiUSDe and USDi powered by Ethena. Sui's infrastructure facilitates seamless cross-chain interoperability and institutional adoption, positioning it as a leader in next-generation blockchain technology.
