Sui performance notes

Sui is an object-centric Layer 1 blockchain that runs smart contracts in the Move language and executes transactions in parallel. It uses delegated proof-of-stake with Mysticeti, a DAG-based BFT consensus, plus a fast path that finalizes single-owner-object transactions without full consensus. Transactions reach finality in roughly 390 milliseconds, and fees are paid in SUI.

What distinguishes Sui is how much the stack provides natively. Assets, data, and permissions are all objects – owned, versioned, and composable – and Sui ships first-class primitives for the capabilities other chains bolt on: Move for safe smart contracts, zkLogin and Passkey for web-style sign-in, Seal for encryption and access control, Walrus for decentralized data, and Nautilus for verifiable off-chain compute, combined with Programmable Transaction Blocks, which batch multiple operations into one atomic call. These primitives suit teams building latency-sensitive applications that need predictable performance under load – DeFi, on-chain gaming, payments, and AI agents.
