A closer look at how Sui’s object-centric model and the Move language can improve blockchain scalability and smart contract development.
The Sui blockchain has emerged as a novel layer-1 (L1) protocol, incorporating advanced technologies to address common layer-1 trade-offs. Cointelegraph Research unpacks the details of this newcomer to the blockchain space.
Sui uses the Move programming language, which was designed with a focus on asset representation and access control. This article examines Sui’s object-centric data storage model, its implications for transaction processing, and its potential advantages over traditional account-based paradigms.
Sui draws significant inspiration from the Diem blockchain, particularly in its use of the Move programming language for smart contracts. Move was designed with a type system specifically tailored to asset management and access control enforcement. Sui Move builds on this foundation with an object-centric data storage model that uses objects rather than accounts as primitives.
