Consensus Mechanism and Performance

Sui uses an advanced consensus mechanism optimized for high throughput and minimal latency. Instead of forcing all transactions to go through global consensus, Sui only applies consensus where necessary. Simple transactions can be confirmed quickly without waiting for the entire network to agree on every detail.

This architecture allows Sui to achieve extremely fast transaction finality and predictable fees. Such performance is crucial for applications like blockchain gaming, decentralized social platforms, and financial tools that require instant responsiveness.
