Introduction: Faced with challenges that were holding back its growth, Bluefin set out to find a new blockchain network that could provide the speed, scalability, and user experience its platform needed. After exploring the available options, Bluefin turned to Sui, a network that promised the technical prowess necessary to overcome these barriers.

Introduction to Sui’s Technology: Sui entered the blockchain space with a unique approach to consensus and transaction processing. Unlike other networks, Sui uses a distinctive consensus mechanism capable of processing individual transactions swiftly, while maintaining bandwidth for more complex, shared transactions. This technology promised the scalability that Bluefin required to grow its user base and trading volume without compromising on speed or performance.

Why Sui Stood Out:

Several factors made Sui the ideal choice for Bluefin’s next evolution:

High Throughput: Sui’s capacity to handle over 5,000 transactions per second ensured that Bluefin could offer the speed necessary for high-frequency trading.
Scalability: Sui’s architecture could scale with the platform’s growth, ensuring smooth and seamless operations even during periods of high demand.
Optimized Consensus Mechanism: This mechanism allowed Bluefin to process one-to-one transactions quickly while also maintaining robust performance for larger shared transactions.

Key Features Leveraged:

Bluefin identified two key features of Sui that aligned perfectly with its needs:

zkLogin: A revolutionary feature that allowed users to log in using existing Google or Apple credentials, bypassing the traditional wallet setup process. This dramatically reduced onboarding friction and made it easier for new users to join the platform.
Sponsored Transactions: Sui’s ability to sponsor user transactions reduced costs, making trading on Bluefin more affordable and accessible to a broader audience.

Conclusion: With Sui’s advanced technology and innovative features, Bluefin saw an opportunity to build a new version of its platform that could meet its original vision. The next article will explore how Bluefin developed and launched Bluefin V2 on Sui, leading to unprecedented growth in trading volume.
