How Does Sui Work? Sui differs from other blockchains by employing a different consensus and transaction processing mechanism. Traditional blockchain validators sequentially add transactions to the blockchain, thus adding new records to the chain sequentially and limiting the scalability of a blockchain to increase the speed of the said incremental additions (vertical scaling). Sui takes a different approach. Since many transactions naturally are not causally related to each other, Sui does away with having each transaction validated by all nodes in the network. Instead, it takes a look only at the relevant piece of data instead of validating the entire chain. In order to accomplish this efficiently, Sui uses an object-centric model, where the chain data storage is not centered around accounts but around objects. This novel type of data storage allows Sui nodes to validate uncorrelated transaction flows independently and individually, instead of having to order all transactions like in the traditional blockchain model. The transaction broadcasting and validation on Sui looks as follows: The sender broadcasts a transaction to all validators. Validators check the transaction for validity and send their weighted votes based on their stake. The sender collects a Byzantine-resistant majority and broadcasts the result as a certificate to validators. This presumably allows Sui to reach transaction speeds of over 100,000 transactions per second. Furthermore, in the object model of ownership employed by Sui, there are three different types of ownership of an asset: Owned by an address (e.g. coins, or NFTs) Owned by another object (an NFT that is part of another NFT) Shared (e.g. AMM pools) Transactions with shared objects are ordered, but transactions involving owned objects can be executed at a near-instant speed in so-called “single writer apps.” This means that Sui can target verticals such as NFTs, gaming, messaging services, social networks, and decentralized identity platforms that heavily leverage single-writer apps and build them with web3 properties at web2 speed of execution.
