Learning Sui

Sui: pronounced "sweet" without the "T" - with Transactions (loads of them), things are SWEET indeed. :-)

Welcome to the documentation for the Sui platform. Since Sui is built upon the core Move programming language, you should familiarize yourself with it and use this content to apply the differences. For a summary of these differences, see Sui compared to other blockchains.

For a deep dive into Sui technology, see the Sui Smart Contracts Platform white paper. Find answers to common questions about our roadmap and more in our FAQ.

Important: This site is built from the upstream main branch and therefore will contain updates not yet found in devnet.

End-to-end tutorial

Proceed to the Sui Tutorial for a summary view of setting up your environment, starting a Sui network, gathering accounts and gas, and publishing and playing a game in Sui.

Programming with Objects series

Finish with the detailed Programming with objects tutorial series offering detailed guidance on manipulating Sui objects, from creation and storage through wrapping and using child objects.
