SUI isn’t EVM-based; it uses its own execution model designed for high throughput and parallel processing. It was launched by Mysten Labs, a team that includes ex-Facebook engineers from the Libra project

Does SUI have smart contracts? How does it differ from Ethereum?
Yes, SUI supports smart contracts using the Move language. Unlike Ethereum’s sequential execution, SUI is built for parallel processing, which can lead to faster and more scalable transaction performance, making asset management and dApps more efficient.
Does this help with scaling? Ethereum is facing a number of scaling issues?
SUI's parallel processing lets it handle many transactions concurrently, offering a potential solution where Ethereum's sequential execution can bottleneck under heavy load. This design could mean faster, more scalable dApp performance overall
When did SUI go live and mine its first block?
SUI's mainnet launched in mid-2023, with the first block mined during its initial rollout phase, marking the protocol's debut on the blockchain scene
How does SUI differ from the Arbitrum blockchain?
SUI is a base layer protocol with native parallel execution, while Arbitrum is an L2 scaling solution for Ethereum relying on rollups. Each addresses scalability differently, so their approaches suit distinct roles in the ecosystem
What is the difference between base layer and L2?
A base layer blockchain like SUI operates on its own network and consensus, handling security and transactions directly, while L2 like Arbitrum builds atop a base layer (e.g., Ethereum), leveraging its security to scale transaction throughput without altering the base layer's fundamentals
What are the most popular L2 on Ethereum?
Some of the most popular L2s are Arbitrum and Optimism, with zkSync and StarkNet gaining traction through innovative scaling with zero-knowledge proofs and other tech advances
Do you think that a L2 can have greater value than the base layer?
L2s can capture significant value by enhancing scalability and reducing costs, yet they remain complementary to the base layer's security and decentralization. Each has its role in the ecosystem to drive overall adoption
Wouldnt it be logical that the value of a L2 is pushed to the base layer?
L2s indeed bolster base layer utility by making it more accessible, yet each layer's value builds on its distinct role. Improved L2 efficiency can drive base demand, but they remain interdependent rather than one replacing the other
