[2025 Latest Edition] What is the virtual currency SUI? A thorough explanation that is easy to understand even for beginners!
Hello! I'm John, a blogger who has been writing about cryptocurrency technology for many years. Recently, the cryptocurrency "SUI" has been attracting a lot of attention, and many beginners may have questions such as "I've heard the name, but what exactly is it?" and "How is it different from Bitcoin?" In this article, I will explain SUI in more detail than anywhere else, from basic information to its technical features, future prospects, and the opinions of experts. I will also include the latest information as of 2025, so please stay with me until the end!
What is SUI? A quick explanation of basic information and features
Basic information about SUI: A next-generation blockchain that solves scalability issues
SUI isLayer 1 Blockchain(The main network that forms the basis of blockchain)fast transaction processing(Processing Transactions) andLow LatencyIt was developed with the aim of reducing processing time. The developer is Mysten Labs, which was founded by members who were involved in the digital currency project Diem and the wallet Novi at Meta (formerly Facebook).
Many existing blockchains have the following problems:Scalability IssuesIts main goal is to solve the problem of slower processing times and higher fees as the number of users increases. It is particularly expected to be used in applications that need to process large volumes of transactions quickly, such as online games, DeFi (decentralized finance), and real-time payments.
Unique Features of SUI
SUI has some unique features not found in other blockchains.
- Adoption of the "Move" programming language: SUI's smart contracts (automated execution programs for contracts) will be written in a new programming language called "Move." Move is designed to ensure safe and clear ownership and management of digital assets, and is characterized by its high level of security.
- Object-centric Model: SUI data management is done in units of "objects." An "object" refers to any digital asset on the blockchain, such as tokens, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and smart contracts. When many transactions are related only to a specific object, those transactions can be processed independently in parallel, which leads to an increase in overall processing speed.
- Parallel Transaction Processing: This is one of the major strengths of SUI. In most conventional blockchains, transactions are processed one by one in sequence, but in SUI, unrelated transactions are processed one by one in sequence.Parallel processingThis makes it easier to maintain high throughput (processing capacity per unit time) even when the network is congested. It's like being able to check out at multiple registers at the same time, instead of waiting in line at one register.
- Gas price stability: When using blockchain,Gas Fee" (network fee) will be charged. SUI has introduced a mechanism to increase the predictability and stability of gas fees, aiming to create an environment where users can feel safe and use the service easily. This may be good news for those who have suffered from high gas prices in the past.
SUI Token Supply: How Does It Affect the Price?
Maximum Supply and Current Circulation
SUI TokenMax Supply is 100 billion SUIAs of May 2025, not all of them are in circulation on the market, but are being released in stages. The current exact amount of circulation can be found on cryptocurrency information sites such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
A portion of the tokens are reserved for early contributors, investors, the community, and future ecosystem development. These tokens will be released on a specific schedule (the “Vesting ScheduleGenerally, new products are gradually released to the market in accordance with a set schedule (called a "Summary").
Why does supply matter to price?
The price of everything, not just virtual currency, is basically determined by the "balance of supply and demand." If the demand for SUI tokens (the number of people who want to buy them) increases and the supply (the amount of SUI available on the market) is limited, the price is likely to rise. Conversely, if the demand is low and the supply is high, the price is likely to fall.
The fact that the maximum supply is fixed has the advantage that inflation (dilution of value) is unlikely to occur in the future. However, short-term price fluctuations are influenced in complex ways by changes in circulation, overall market sentiment, project progress news, and other factors.
For example, there is information that a large-scale token unlock (the release of locked-up tokens onto the market) is planned for 2025 (source: Medium @Tradingpass), which may increase selling pressure in the short term, so caution is required.
The technical structure of SUI: A beginner-friendly explanation of blockchain
Basics of SUI Blockchain
first,"Block chain" is a technology that organizes data such as transaction records into units called "blocks" and manages them by linking them in chronological order like a chain. Data is encrypted and stored in a large number of computers around the world, making it extremely difficult to tamper with and highly transparent. SUI is also based on this blockchain technology.
SUI is "Layer 1 BlockchainThis refers to the infrastructure itself that has its own blockchain network, such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, and on which various applications (DApps: decentralized applications) can run.
Special technology unique to SUI
The main technological elements that SUI employs to achieve high-speed processing include the following:
- Consensus engines "Narwhal" and "Bullshark" (and Tusk in the early days): "Consensus Mechanism” (a mechanism for reaching consensus on the validity of transactions among network participants) is the heart of blockchain. SUI uses a combination of components called Narwhal (a memory pool protocol that propagates transactions together) and Bullshark (or earlier Tusk, a consensus protocol that orders transactions) to efficiently order and verify transactions. This promises to be faster than traditional consensus methods, especially for transactions that can be processed in parallel.
- Horizontally scaling transactions: The parallel processing capability mentioned above enables "horizontal scaling" of SUI. This is the idea that if you want to increase the network processing power, you can do so by increasing the number of servers, rather than increasing the server specifications (vertical scaling). In theory, this means that the more resources you add, the more processing power you can increase.
With these technologies, SUI is said to be aiming for extremely high processing power of hundreds of thousands of transactions per second (TPS).
The team and community behind SUI
What is Mysten Labs?
The SUI blockchain is being developed byMysten LabsThe company is called SUI. What is noteworthy about this team is that many of its members are engineers and researchers who were previously at Meta (formerly Facebook) and were deeply involved in the development of the innovative blockchain project "Diem" and the digital wallet "Novi." They have a high level of expertise and experience in the blockchain field, including scalability, programming language design, and cryptography. This strong background is one of the factors that has raised expectations for the reliability and future potential of the SUI project.
Community Activity
For a cryptocurrency project to succeed, not only technical capabilities but also an active community is essential. SUI operates official channels on platforms such as Discord, Twitter, and Telegram so that developers and users can actively exchange information. We also deepen our engagement with the community through hackathons (development events) and AMAs (Ask Me Anything).
As of 2025, the SUI ecosystem continues to expand, with many developers trying to build new applications and services on SUI. The enthusiasm of the community and the activity of developers are important indicators for measuring the growth of the project.
Usage and future potential of SUI: What can it be used for?
Primary use cases
SUI's high speed, low latency, and scalability features are expected to be used in a variety of fields. The main use cases are as follows:
- DeFi (Decentralized Finance): "DeFi" is a mechanism that allows users to use financial services such as lending, borrowing, trading, and insurance without centralized intermediaries such as banks and securities companies. SUI's high-performance infrastructure can smoothly process complex financial transactions, so it is expected that new DeFi protocols will emerge.
- Gaming / GameFi: In online games, many players take action at the same time, and item trading is also common. SUI's high-speed processing can meet these demands and potentially provide a smooth gaming experience with minimal delays.game fiIn the "fusion of gaming and finance" field, it would also be a good fit with the conversion of in-game items into NFTs and the play-to-earn model, where revenue is earned by playing.
- NFT (Non-Fungible Token): "NFT" is a technology that proves the unique value of digital assets such as digital art, collectibles, and in-game items. SUI's object-centric model is well suited to the creation and management of NFTs, and has the potential to contribute to the revitalization of the creator economy.
- Payments: From small everyday payments to international remittances, SUI has the potential to be a fast, low-cost means of payment, particularly in commercial transactions that require real-time processing.
- Social media: It is also expected to be the foundation for the next generation of decentralized social media platforms, potentially helping to bring about new models where users have control over their own data and content creators are directly compensated.
Future Outlook and Roadmap Highlights
Although SUI is still a relatively new project, its ambitious technology and strong team background make it a promising future. Even in 2025, the SUI ecosystem continues to grow, with new partnerships and projects being announced one after another.
Roadmaps often include further decentralization of the network, improvements to developer tools, and strengthening cross-chain bridges (functions for linking with other blockchains), which are expected to improve the convenience of SUI and attract more users and developers.
Some experts and market analysts believe that SUI may take advantage of its technological advantages to make a big leap after 2025 (Source: Backpack Learn, The Motley Fool). However, this is merely an expectation, and actual growth will depend on many factors, including market conditions, competition with competitors, and the progress of technological development.
Comparison with competing projects: What are SUI's strengths?
There are several projects that aim to be the next generation of high-speed blockchains, just like SUI. One of the most well-known is the Move language.Aptosor already has a proven track recordSolana, and the largest smart contract platformEthereumSuch as it will be mentioned.
SUI's key advantages compared to its competitors are:
- Safety and expressiveness of the Move language: Aptos also uses the Move language, but the SUI's Move implementation is deeply integrated with an object-centric model that is said to give it unique advantages in representing and manipulating assets.
- Unique parallel processing architecture: The consensus based on SUI Narwhal & Bullshark (or Tusk) and parallel processing on a per-object basis can theoretically achieve very high throughput, which is something Solana excels at, but with a different architecture.
- Development team experience: Through their work on the Diem project at Meta, Mysten Labs members have deep knowledge of designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, which is a major advantage in developing and maintaining complex Layer 1 blockchains.
- Focus on scalability and stable gas fees: SUI aims to solve the scalability issues and rising gas fees that Ethereum has suffered from for many years from the design stage.
Of course, each of the competing projects has its own strengths: Aptos has a fast time to market and a fast ecosystem, Solana has an established ecosystem and track record, and Ethereum has the largest developer community and network effect. It will be interesting to see how SUI positions itself among these competitors.
Investment risks and precautions
Although SUIs are attractive technologies and have great potential for the future, investing in virtual currencies always involves risks. It is important to fully understand the following points:
- Price fluctuation risk (volatility): Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, including market sentiment, regulatory news, technical issues, and competitive developments.ボ ラ テ ィ リ テ ィIt is important to be aware that SUIs are financial products with a high degree of price volatility. SUIs are no exception, and their prices can rise or fall sharply in a short period of time.
- Fraud and Security Risks: Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency industry is plagued by phishing scams (a method of stealing information by directing users to fake sites) and rug-pulling scams (fundraising for non-existent projects). Be wary of information from sources other than the official website and of offers that sound too good to be true. Also, be sure to carefully manage the private key and passphrase of the wallet in which you store your SUI tokens.
- Regulatory Developments: Governments and regulators around the world are currently working on developing legislation for virtual currencies.
