Feb 5, 2024: A landmark moment in the evolution of
#crypto
and
#blockchain
. The 1st ever transaction in Sui where both Sender and Receiver didn't have internet access. This will change everything, even my own perception on what is possible today.
As of today, weighted multi-scheme multi-sig is available on
@SuiNetwork
. You can now have k-of-N addresses, where one key is Ed25519, another ECDSA_k1 and the rest ECDSA NIST P-256 (ie. 2FA from iPhone enclave). 🙏
@joyqvq
🎉 Congrats Sui
Sui welcomes Zero Knowledge Proofs!
You can now attach Groth16 ZKP proofs in your transactions. Our backend combines Arkworks w/ BLST which resulted in a 2X verification performance speed boost!

All of them will have a local newspaper & an engraved

Boom! Time-capsules are coming to Sui. TL;DR encrypt messages and NFTs into the future. Crazy interesting applications, see attached!

- mix & match schemes
- weighted voting
- no dependency to crypto providers & complex libs
- easier to spin up under strict deadlines

Sui's intent signing design has saved many devs and users from silly mistakes and impersonation attempts when signing (or forced to sign) with their wallet anything else than a blockchain transaction.
Why is this important? In a decentralized world sometimes you have to sign
@mrjasonchoi
Research on Cryptocurrencies evolved the science of cryptography and security like nothing else in the past especially ZKP, MPC, Consensus, Key Management and Signature Schemes. This is good for humanity and will help other industries, outside blockchains.
No mnemonics, your 📱 can be your key! You can now use your 📱 to sign Sui

Boom, Sui’s object-centric model and contract reusability allows for creating your own Coin type with 7 lines of Move code and you can transfer, mint, burn automagically! Smart contract devs will love Sui’s UX
