Core Concepts

What is Sui?

Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for high throughput and low latency. Key innovations:

1. **Object-Centric Model**: Unlike account-based chains, Sui treats everything as objects with unique IDs

2. **Parallel Execution**: Independent transactions execute in parallel without global ordering

3. **Move Language**: Safe, resource-oriented smart contract language

4. **Mysticeti Consensus**: Fast finality (~390ms) for shared objects

Object Model

```

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Object Types │

├─────────────────────────────────────────┤

│ Owned Objects → Single owner address │

│ Shared Objects → Multiple can access │

│ Immutable Objects→ Frozen, read-only │

│ Wrapped Objects → Nested in another │

└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

```

Transaction Types

| Type | Consensus | Speed | Use Case |

|------|-----------|-------|----------|

| Owned Object | No (fast path) | ~200ms | Transfers, simple ops |

| Shared Object | Yes (Mysticeti) | ~390ms | DEX, auctions, games |

Common Questions

"Is Sui EVM compatible?"

No. Sui uses Move, not EVM. However, bridges exist to transfer assets from EVM chains.

"How fast is Sui?"

"How do I stake SUI?"

1. Open Sui Wallet

2. Go to Staking tab

3. Choose a validator

4. Enter amount and confirm

"What's the difference between Sui Move and Aptos Move?"

Answering Workflow

1. **Identify the question type**:

- General knowledge → Answer from this skill

- Move programming → Refer to sui-move skill

- Specific API/code → Search references

2. **Search if needed**:

```bash

rg -i "question keywords" {baseDir}/references/

```

3. **Provide clear answer** with:

- Direct answer first

- Supporting details

- Links to official docs if relevant
