Validators can add more workers to increase the networking, storage +and compute capacity of the network. We are proud to say that Sui is the first proof of stake, decentralized blockchain that scales +beyond the transaction processing capacities of established rails such as VISA & SWIFT while executing safe, turing complete smart contracts. + +For example, a network of validators each running an Apple Macbook Pro worker achieves 30,000 TPS with sub second finality. Sui’s linear +scalability means validators increase network throughput by adding more workers to meet network demands. This results in low gas fees even +during periods of high network traffic because the network is able to increase capacity to meet demand. This type of scalability is in sharp +contrast to how blockchains are typically designed. + +Additionally with Sui, you can process in batch at extremely low cost. (e.g. massive airdrop with a single transaction for coupons or other +valuable, mass market consumer use cases). + +## A language for developers + +Sui smart contracts are written in the Move language. Move is safe and expressive, and its type system and data model naturally support the +parallel agreement/execution strategies that make Sui scalable. + +Move is an open-source programming language for building smart contracts originally developed at Facebook for the Diem blockchain. The language is +platform-agnostic, and in addition to being adopted by Sui, it has been gaining popularity on other platforms (e.g., 0L, StarCoin). + +Move is naturally immune from [reentrancy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrancy_(computing)), a critical flaw that attackers have leveraged to +steal millions from Dapps. For developers transitioning from web2 to web3, Move is a much more natural platform to build on without having to +understand the underlying complexities of infrastructure. + +With these extensive properties and benefits, we are confident that Move will become the native execution environment for smart contracts in web3. + +## Ability to define richer on-chain assets + +Sui permits storage of large objects on-chain, enabling developers to define more complex assets with richer attributes. Additionally, the low-cost +properties of Sui enable developers to move more of their logic and metadata on-chain, increasing composability and transparency for Dapps. + +This enables developers to define richer economies that go beyond scarcity for price discovery. Developers can build evolving and dynamic NFTs to +unlock/upgrade and bundle depending on the game and other conditions, such as achieving badges. + +## Better user experience for web3 apps + +We want to make Sui the most accessible smart contracts platform, empowering developers to create great user experiences in web3. To usher in the next +billion users, developers will need tools to take advantage of the power of the Sui blockchain. The Sui Development Kit (SDK) will enable developers to +build without boundaries.
