You might have heard the name "Sui" floating around Discord, Twitter, or Web 3 conferences. While many have anticipated Sui since last September, the layer one blockchain has finally launched its long-awaited mainnet. The chain is focused on scalability and low-latency for simple use cases such as asset transfers and payments. It achieves this by processing transactions in parallel, allowing for the scaling of throughput by adding more resources. Sui is backed by a group of well-known VCs and uses the Move programming language, which is designed to represent digital assets and conduct safe operations over them.

With all these considerations, we've decided to integrate Sui into the indexer. Now, you can access ANY on-chain and off-chain NFT data through our GraphQL API. And for those of you building multichain applications, Sui shares a standardized data schema with our other integrated blockchains, including Stacks, Aptos, and NEAR.

As developers ourselves, we're always looking for blockchains that are built with developers in mind. Sui offers several benefits for developers, including:

Easy Development

Sui provides developers with an easy-to-use development platform, comprehensive developer tools, and a flexible programming language. This makes it easier for developers to create decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts on the Sui blockchain.

Scalability

Sui is designed to be highly scalable, with the ability to process a large number of transactions per second. This is essential for developers creating DApps, games, and smart contracts that require high throughput and fast transaction times.

Security

Sui is a secure blockchain that utilizes advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure the integrity of transactions and prevent fraudulent activity. This makes it a reliable platform for developers to build their DApps and smart contracts on.

Interoperability

Sui is designed to be interoperable with other blockchains, allowing developers to easily integrate their DApps and smart contracts with other platforms.

We've already met a number of teams in the Sui ecosystem who are building innovative platforms, games, and NFT projects. Sui builders are passionate about the tech and are running fast with the mainnet. We're looking forward to working with more of these trailblazers and helping them get to market faster.
