Sui Architecture & Developer-Centric Environment

Sui’s architecture enables various use cases across DeFi to run in different capacities. It means that activities in one of the nodes in the network will not have an impact on other nodes in the network. For traders, you can execute trades across various assets without network hindrance.

Sui focuses on developer experience while leveraging the Move programming language. The Move programming language is secure and flexible by design. It allows developers to work with fewer risks tied to the older smart contract languages. Move’s adoptable nature allows for shortened cycles, as demonstrated by SuiLend.

Innovations in Transactions & Sui’s Offerings

Another unique aspect of Sui is the programmable transaction blocks, PTBs. The PTBs enable many transactions with DeFi applications with a single click. The PTBs create a high level of composability in DeFi. It unlocks new functionality and experiences for DeFi enthusiasts. For instance, you can carry out large order swaps with a single transaction. This feature is beneficial for traders and developers. It saves time and resources; less transaction time means fewer transaction fees.
