Sui Mainnet Launch: Initial Exploration of the Ecosystem and Functional Experience
Sui Mainnet Launch: First Experience in the Ecosystem
The Sui Network Mainnet was launched as scheduled on the evening of May 3, attracting widespread attention. This article will take you on a preliminary experience of the Sui Network's mainnet environment, exploring various aspects of its ecosystem.
Sui Information Platform
Network Information Page
The official website of Sui Network provides a comparison of the performance and features of the development network, testing network, and Mainnet. Currently, the Mainnet is running 98 validator nodes, as well as two nodes operated by Mysten Labs.
Block Explorer
Through the Sui blockchain explorer, users can view the basic information of SUI, including TPS, network node distribution, block generation status, price, and market cap, etc. At the same time, it also supports querying address transaction information.
Sui Wallet
Taking the Suiet wallet as an example, users can download the browser extension from the official website. New users need to create a wallet and record the mnemonic phrase, and the process is similar to other common cryptocurrency wallets.
Sui Cross-Chain Bridge
The Sui Token cross-chain bridge is now live, supporting 22 types of Wormhole-compatible assets for direct cross-chain transfer to the Sui network. The initially supported cross-chain networks include Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, Celo, Moonbeam, and Solana.
Taking the official cross-chain bridge portalbridge as an example, users can choose different networks and assets for cross-chain operations. The cross-chain transaction fees are relatively low, and users can choose to pay with native chain assets or SUI.
Sui NFT Trading Platform
Souffl3, as the leading NFT trading platform on the Sui Network, has already launched on the Mainnet. Users can participate in the platform's Launchpad activities and NFT trading by connecting their wallets.
Initial Experience Summary
Although the Sui Mainnet has just launched and many ecosystem projects have not been fully deployed, the current user experience is relatively smooth. It is worth noting that the initial token distribution of Sui is mainly concentrated on centralized exchanges rather than directly on-chain, which has somewhat affected the on-chain user activity.
Currently, most centralized exchanges have not yet opened the withdrawal function for SUI tokens, which may temporarily limit the scale of on-chain activities. As more ecosystem projects join and exchanges gradually open withdrawals, the true potential of the Sui network is expected to be further unleashed.
The development of the Sui Network is still in its early stages, and its ultimate performance and the maturity of its ecosystem need further observation and evaluation. As time goes on, we will be able to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Sui's actual performance in terms of high performance, low costs, and user experience.
