The Latest Updates on Sui
Adeniyi Abiodun from Mysten Labs took the stage to discuss the progress of the Sui network and the advancements in blockchain technology. Adeniyi explored the early stages of blockchains, which introduced the concept of digital money, commonly known as crypto-currency. These initial networks enabled people to trade different currencies. In the past five years, we have witnessed the rise of new blockchains that introduced smart contracts, allowing both individuals and programs to engage in currency trading. Sui, representing the next generation, takes this technology a step further by shifting from account-based to object-based storage, presenting an entirely new range of possibilities and a different way of approaching blockchain.
As for the Sui network's progress, we have reached over a month since its full launch as a permissionless public network. Sui has experienced remarkable growth in this short period with nearly one million active accounts. The network's performance and efficiency have exceeded expectations, proving its potential. As a noteworthy example, Adeniyi highlighted the fact that it only costs $6.6 thousand to create a million NFTs on Sui, while the same task would cost $253 thousand on Solana and a staggering $33 million on Ethereum.
Wrapping up the keynote, Adeniyi revealed some exciting upcoming features for Sui. These include DeepBook, the network's first native liquidity layer, and liquid staking, which allows stakers to continue using their funds while earning rewards. These additions promise to enhance the Sui experience and provide users with even more options and benefits.

Esteemed representatives from companies like Typus Finance, Notifi, and Movement Labs shared their valuable perspectives and insights.
Joi Ito and Alex Shin, two notable figures in the technology industry, engaged in a thought-provoking conversation about the convergence of AI and blockchain. Joi, an experienced technologist, has dedicated the past few years to delving into Web3 and is the founder of the Center for Radical Transformation at the Chiba Institute of Technology. Alex Shin, the founder of Shinlabs, is actively involved in the Web3 field and has spoken at conferences worldwide.
The event also provided a platform for various builders to present their projects, as they took the stage to convince both a panel of judges and the audience of the potential of their ideas.
