Sui (SUI) Token
Data and Information
Sui is a layer-1 blockchain with low latency and high throughput. Its instant transaction finality makes Sui a prime candidate for on-chain use cases such as DeFi and GameFi. This blockchain is programmed in Rust, a programming language with a focus on fast and secure transaction execution. Rust is also the programming language of Solana, another high-speed blockchain.
Sui’s stated goal is to “serve the next billion users on web3” by offering decentralized application (Dapp) deployments with superior smart contract architecture compared to rival blockchains like Ethereum. This blockchain uses a process called “transaction parallelization” to achieve this, which allows processing transactions in “parallel agreements.” This “horizontal scalability,” as Sui calls it, leads to better data organization in a byzantine fault-tolerant proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
Circulating Supply: 1.23B SUI
