Sui is a smart contract platform biased towards low-latency management of assets. It uses the Move programming language to define assets as objects that may be owned by an address.
Consensus Mechanism
Delegated Proof of Stake (dPOS) consensus mechanism with a DAG-based consensus protocol.
Programming Language
Sui is written in Sui Move— Sui’s rendition of the Move Programming Language.
Network Features
DAG-based consensus
Sui sequences transactions that manipulate the same shared object using a DAG-based consensus protocol. This process makes use of two technologies:
Sui uses Narwhal as the mempool and Bullshark as the consensus engine by default, to sequence transactions that require a total ordering, synchronize transactions between validators, and periodically checkpoint the network's state. By decoupling data dissemination from the ordering mechanism, Sui achieves reliable and high-speed performance.
Sui Move
Sui Move is a version of the Move programming language. Sui Move‘s type system and data model naturally support the parallel agreement/execution strategies that make Sui scalable.
