Public chain competition has reached a point where it's no longer just a race for speed.

When it comes to why Sui is gaining attention, most people think of its TPS, low latency, and user experience. These are indeed advantages, but the real story is much more complex.

Sui's ultimate goal is to create a complete ecological closed loop—similar to the iOS ecosystem built by Apple. In this system, the Move language serves as a development tool, the Sui blockchain itself is the core infrastructure, and projects like Walrus play what role? Simply put, they are decentralized data warehouses.

Looking back at the evolution of public chains, it becomes clear. Ethereum faced congestion; although Solana solved the speed issue, it introduced new problems—while it processes transactions quickly, it cannot handle massive amounts of data. As a result, NFT projects and on-chain game data are stored either on storage networks like Arweave or rely on centralized servers. This disconnect between computation and storage is precisely the bottleneck preventing Web3 from achieving large-scale adoption.

The team at Mysten Labs clearly saw this. Their approach is straightforward: Sui focuses on the computation layer and asset interaction, while Walrus handles massive data storage. Both are natively compatible and share the same origin. What is the benefit of this? Developers programming on Sui can access storage interfaces as smoothly as they access local disks. This seamless integration is what truly defines the ecological closed loop.
