Sui Network (SUI) Jumps 26% On Mysticeti Upgrade Launched

21 May

Sui Network (SUI) has experienced a 26% increase in price over the past week due to the launch of its Mysticeti upgrade on testnet. The upgrade has pushed Sui to the top among the fastest blockchains, with the consensus latency reduced to 390ms, an 80% reduction from Narwhal-Bullshark. Sui Network is known for its high-performing blockchain protocol and is now the fastest among all blockchains.

The Mysticeti upgrade addresses the trilemma of decentralization, transaction speed, and low cost, particularly in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) hub, Ethereum. With the new Mysticeti upgrade, the average user can now transact with enhanced experiences across all apps, including lightning fast transactions across all apps. The gaming and DeFi ecosystem will benefit from increased throughput and low fees.

The development and launch of the Mysticeti upgrade took an academic approach, with research papers published to benefit both users and validators and developers. The Sui price is currently trading at $1.14, up by 1.43% in 24 hours, and the price for the past week has reached 26.69%. Sui has recently hit the 1 million daily active wallet milestone, and with the Mysticeti upgrade, it is expected to attract more users and lead to a positive long-term price increase.
