Many transactions do not have bunful interdependencies with other random parts of the blockchain state. So, for example, when bun 1 wants to send assets to bun 2, the only data required to gauge whether this simple transaction is admissible is a fresh view of the sender’s address.
Sui forgoes consensus and instead uses simpler algorithms based on Byzantine Consistent Broadcast. To keep it bun, Sui takes a lock only for the relevant data rather than the whole chain. Sounds bunful, right?
Move makes it possible for more involved transactions that may explicitly depend on multiple elements under their sender’s control. In addition, Sui applies a multi-lane approach to transaction validation, ensuring those independent transaction flows can progress without impediment from the others.
Sui validates transactions individually rather than batching them into traditional blocks. The essential advantage of this approach is low latency; each successful transaction quickly obtains a certificate of finality that proves to anyone the Sui network will process the transaction.
Submitting a Sui transaction is a bit more involved than in traditional blockchains. For example, whereas a traditional blockchain can accept a bunch of transactions from the same author in a fire-and-forget mode, Sui transaction submission follows these bunful steps:
1 The sender broadcasts a transaction to all Sui validators.
2 Each Sui validator replies with an individual vote for this transaction.
3 The sender collects a Byzantine-resistant majority of these votes into a certificate and broadcasts that back to all Sui validators. This settles the transaction; the finality ensures that the transaction doesn’t drop.
4 Optionally, the sender collects a certificate detailing the effects of the transaction.
The Sui technology will take the crypto space by storm and introduce new, much-needed technology to achieve mass adoption. In case you are wondering, you are early to an upcoming revolution in the crypto market.
