Mysten Labs is proud to present... Sui! Let’s dive into “parallel agreement” — a breakthrough in system design. A 🧵. 1/8 #blockchaintechnology
2/8 - Sui scales horizontally with no upper bound to meet application demand while maintaining extremely low operating costs per transaction. #blockchain
3/8 - Sui's system design breakthrough eliminates a critical bottleneck in existing #blockchains : the need to achieve global consensus on a total-ordered list of transactions.
4/8 - This computation is wasteful given most transactions are not contending for the same resource against other transactions. #blockchaintechnology
5/8 - Sui takes significant leap in scalability by enabling parallel agreement on causally independent tx. Sui authorities commit such tx using Byzantine consistent broadcast, eliminating global consensus's overhead w/out sacrificing safety & liveness guarantees.
6/8 - This breakthrough is only possible with Sui's novel data model. Thanks to its object-centric view & Move's strong ownership types, dependencies are explicitly encoded.#blockchain
7/8 - As a result, Sui both agrees on & executes tx on most objects in parallel, while a minority of tx that affect shared state are ordered via Byzantine fault tolerant consensus & executed in parallel.
Difficulty with more traditional smart contract languages that #MoveLang is trying to solve is code composition & reuse. New VSCode plugin delivers a set of features that can aid developers. A thread 🧵
The new features provided by the current version of move-analyzer’s language server include:
▫️ Type on hover
▫️ Go to definition
▫️ Go to type definition
▫️ Find references
▫️ Error reporting
Type on hover:
When encountering identifier in unknown code base, you may not know the type of the identifier. If you hover a cursor over the name of an identifier, you will see the name of this identifier displayed in a tooltip.
Excited to finally share the economic model that will let Sui serve the next billion web3 users & deliver a flourishing economy. A thread by our Head Economist @alonsodegortari : 🧵👇 1/n
2/n: The Sui Smart Contracts Platform is:
🍃 environmentally-friendly
🤑 cost-efficient
🌊 high-throughput
⬇️ low-latency
⛓️ permissionless blockchain
Sui’s economic model is tailored to operate smoothly in sync with Sui’s engineering design: bit.ly/twtokenomics
3/n: Sui’s ⛽ gas price mechanism + 🗄️ storage fund work hand-in-hand with Sui’s ability to parallelize transactions, scale horizontally, & store arbitrary amounts of on-chain data.
Ensuring Sui's engineering design is matched by an economic model enabling success at scale.
