Sui’s north star is to be the high-performance backbone of Web3. Instead of just handling token swaps or static collectibles, its object-centric model is meant to unlock real-time, interactive apps: games with assets that evolve on-chain, social platforms where updates feel instant, financial protocols that can run at web speed.

The foundation’s push is toward scalability, composability, and mainstream readiness—making blockchain apps feel as smooth as web apps today, while still keeping strong security and ownership guarantees. In that sense, the “future vision” isn’t just faster DeFi or shinier NFTs; it’s everyday apps—social, gaming, finance—running directly on-chain without users feeling the weight of the infrastructure.

If Ethereum is the global settlement layer, Sui wants to be the real-time operating system of Web3.
