@SuiNetwork recently announced the deployment of its Community Access Program that grants early contributors access to dicounted $SUI.

The #Suinami is at our doorstep, will you know how to swim?

A 🧵 by @giorgionchain

1/31 Image
#Sui is a low-latency, high-throughput permissionless L1 whose instant transaction finality makes it a prime candidate for on-chain use cases like #DeFi and #GameFi.
It focuses on horizontal scaling enabling parallel unrelated transaction processing

sui.io

2/31
The Mysten Labs team, which comprises former Diem (@Meta) developers (@EvanWeb3, @EmanAbio, @b1ackd0g), secured backing from high-profile crypto VC funds (@a16zcrypto, @BinanceLabs, @cbventures, @circle), by raising millions in series A and B financing round

3/31
1. COIN UTILITY

The $SUI coin serves four primary functions:

- Stake and delegate to participate in the PoS consensus
- Used to pay gas fees
- Unit of account, medium of exchange, or store of value
- Governance and on-chain voting

4/31
2. GAS FEE MECHANISM

$SUI fees play an essential role in the ecosystem, acting as a coordination mechanism among validators pushing them toward honest behaviours, and convenient for users who deal with low and predictable gas fees (throughout a 24-h epoch)

5/31
Sui’s gas pricing mechanism achieves three outcomes:

- Delivering users with low and predictable transaction fees
- Incentivizing validators to optimize their operations
- Preventing spam and denial of service attacks

6/31
When transacting, a user pays:

- Computation fees → charged on all network operations and used to reward PoS validators/delegators
- Storage fees → used to shift stake rewards across time and compensate future validators for previously stored on-chain data storage costs

7/31 Image
2.1 COMPUTATION FEES

The computation price is determined through a three-step process operating across each epoch:

- Gas price survey
- Tallying rule
- Incentivized stake reward distribution rule

8/31
Gas price survey

It collects validators' Reservation price – the minimum gas price at which they are willing to process transactions.

The protocol sets the Reference price to ensure at least 2/3 by stake validators can afford to charge such a price (BFT)

9/31
Tallying rule

Validators check whether or not other validators have charged the actual prices in line with the one set during the Gas price survey.
The Tallying rule aims to create a community-enforced mechanism for encouraging validators to honour the Reference gas price

10/31
Incentivized stake reward distribution rule

At the end of the epoch, the distribution of emissions across validators is adjusted using validators’ input from the Tallying Rule.
Each validator will receive boosted/slashed rewards accordingly

11/31 Image
Since users want to transact as quickly and efficiently as possible, they encourage this behaviour by prioritizing communication with the most responsive validators.

Such efficient operations are compensated with boosted rewards relative to less responsive validators

12/31
An unresponsive validator is thus doubly exposed to the gas pricing mechanism: they loses directly through slashed rewards and indirectly through a reduced delegated stake in future epochs as stakers move their coins to more responsive validators

12/31
2.2 STORAGE FEES

They accrue to the storage fund whose size influences future staking rewards.

It ensures that future validators are compensated for their storage costs by the past users who created those storage requirements in the first place

14/31
The fund includes a deletion option by which users obtain a rebate whenever they delete their previously-stored on-chain data.

Storage fund inflows are designed to be always greater than outflows.

This guarantees the fund is never depleted

15/31

3. DISTRIBUTION

The forecasted max supply of $SUI is 10B, and the distribution is as follows:

- 20% to Early Contributors
- 14% to Investors
- 10% to Treasury
- 6% to Community Access Program
- 50% to Community Reserve

17/31 Image
A share of $SUI’s total supply will be liquid at launch, with the remaining coins vesting over the coming years or distributed as future stake reward subsidies.

Sui recently announced that discord members registered before Feb 1st can benefit from discounted tokens sale

18/31
4. VALUE CREATION

Sui can execute up to 120k transactions/second due to
high-throughput horizontal scaling.

Sui’s fast transaction finality and low-latency capacity enable a variety of Dapps

19/31 Image
Wrapping up the value created by the protocol:

- Highly scalable (horizontally)
- Fast transactions finality
- Very cheap to transact
- Multiple use cases leveraging (low-latency features)
- Predictable gas fees
- Rebase option

20/31
4. VALUE CAPTURE

We expect there to be low circulating supply due to staking. The more people interact with the platform, more fees are spent, resulting in an increase in validators' earnings, leading to an increase in staking incenitve and thus $SUI buy pressure

21/31
Lastly, the storage fund creates deflationary pressure over the $SUI coin in that increased activity leads to more storage requirements and more $SUI removed from circulation

22/31
5. ECOSYSTEM USERS

- Users → they create and transfer digital assets or communicate with Dapps
- Coin holders → delegate coins to validators to participate in the Delegated PoS mechanism.
- Validators → carry out transaction processing and execution on the platform

23/31
Why do they use Sui?

- Users → high transaction finality, good UI/UX, and low fees
- Coin holder → staking rewards
- Validators → staking rewards (computation and storage), governance rights

24/31
6. TOKEN DEMAND DRIVERS

- Governance rights → validators vote on the protocol’s development
- Staking rewards → allows users to earn more $SUI while staking their assets to secure the protocol
- Speculation → driven by the team’s and investors’ recognizability

25/31 Image
7. BENCHMARK

@Aptos_Network and Sui share many similarities. The founders of both protocols came from Meta and use the Move programming language. Aptos uses the core Move's global storage, while Sui uses its own

26/31 Image
Aptos doesn't have a concept of objects, instead, it uses an address-centric model like @ethereum. Any Sui address can own an unlimited number of the same type of resource. Sui reportedly handles 120,000 transactions per second, while Aptos can supposedly handle 160,000

27/31 Image
8. CONCLUSIONS

Sui could have a lot of potential, and many blockchain proponents seem to approve of its technological and roadmap.

Sui will have to compete fiercely with other L1 blockchains and continuously develop its ecosystem if it hopes to gain wider popularity

28/31 Image
Given the designed PoS system, a large portion of the total supply is expected to be locked out of circulation reducing selling pressure on the coin, and since the supply is finite, increased network activity will significantly increase demand for the coin

29/31
Sui's incentive mechanism anchors stakeholders' behaviours to the protocol's objective functions that aim to create a general commonwealth and push users toward value-aligned activities

Tackling the #crypto trilemma, #PartisiaBlockchain aims to address scalability, privacy, and interoperability with a dual-layer approach.

Ambitious? Definitely.

Let's take a closer look at the project and its distinctive #tokenomics. @partisiampc

🧵 by @FlorentPorrot

1/15 Image
Offering a dual-layer solution, Partisia features consensus, governance & interoperable Zero-Knowledge & Oracle services.

The 2nd layer is essentially a platform for ZK computations - on-chain, off-chain, inter-chain, bolstering blockchain privacy in a decentralized way.

2/15
Decentralized nodes ensure security and integrity. As #web3 leans towards transparency, control over information is paramount.

By harnessing a global network of ZK computation nodes, Partisia enhances privacy and security, opening doors to secret voting, secure aid, etc.

Is @LiquityProtocol The holy grail of decentralized, resilient stablecoins in DeFi, and perhaps even the MakerDAO killer?

Following $USDC's depeg, $LUSD has been the biggest stablecoin winner in terms of market cap percentage gain.

Here's how it works🧵by @imajinl
Liquity is a decentralized stablecoin issuer that allows users to open collateralized debt positions (CDPs) by minting $LUSD stablecoins against their $ETH collateral, arguably one of the most pristine collaterals in crypto
Let's get into the details.

First, let me introduce you to troves, the core of the Liquity protocol.

The diagram below is a high-level overview of how troves work.

Think of troves as Liquity’s equivalent of MakerDAO’s vaults, but with a few nuances.

@arielfleite666 (TDAO) and @indiv_0110 (@BNBCHAIN) partnered to develop a framework for analyzing product-token alignment.

We realized proper product design is required to improve token incentives.

However, that varies according to the product development phase. Image
For early-stage products, tokens should incentivize user and/or liquidity growth.

For late-stage products, tokens should enable community governance to decentralize product development.

This framework applies to different sectors, let's see how it works for P2E economies.
@GodsUnchained is an excellent example of a web3 game using tokens to drive user growth (acquisition + retention) in the early development phase.

$GODS launched in 2021 as a requirement to mint cards into NFTs, debuting their P2E economy.

Here is how $GODS drives user growth. Image

Tokenomics 101: Redacted Cartel ($BTRFLY)

@redactedcartel is a DAO built on Ethereum at the forefront of the #realyield narrative in DeFi.

Recently launching its v2, the cash cow is encompassing all things ve related.

Here's how it works 🧵 by @imajinl Image
The token, $BTRFLY, has a maximum supply of 650,000 tokens. The token powers the DAO and accrues value from the treasury and other products in the Redacted ecosystem.
The cartel runs products such as a low-cost bribe platform (called Hidden Hand) for DAOs with a ve token model and the Pirex platform, which makes locked tokens liquid through wrappers that have many benefits, such as auto-compounding, unionizing gas fees, and utility in DeFi.
