This document has two main goals: It first provides a high-level overview of Sui, presenting its main functionalities and design choices. It then compares Sui with existing blockchains allowing potential adopters to decide whether Sui fits their use cases.

This document is written for engineers, developers, and technical readers knowledgeable about the crypto space. It does not assume deep programming language or distributed systems expertise. See the [Sui white paper](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/blob/main/doc/paper/sui.pdf) for a much deeper explanation.

See [How Sui Differs from Other Blockchains](sui-compared.md) for a high-level overview of the differences in approach between Sui and other blockchain systems.

3. The sender collects a Byzantine-resistant-majority of these votes into a _certificate_ and broadcasts that back to all Sui authorities. This settles the transaction, ensuring _finality_ that the transaction will not be dropped (revoked).
4. Optionally, the sender collects a certificate detailing the effects of the transaction.

While those steps demand more of the sender, performing them efficiently can still yield a cryptographic proof of finality with minimum latency. Aside from crafting the original transaction itself, the session management for a transaction does not require access to any private keys and can be delegated to a third party. Sui takes advantage of this observation to provide Sui Gateway Services.
