Why Pebble Opted to Build on Sui

Greetings from Pebble Team! As you may have guessed from the previous post, Pebble platform and its games have opted to build on Sui network.

Some of you may be wondering why we chose to build on Sui out of many blockchain networks out there. You are about to find the answer in this post.

1. Extensive Technological Capabilities

As a platform powered by NHN, Pebble aims to bring its rich experience in gaming to the web3 arena. To this end, we ensured that the blockchain we chose to build on had sufficient technological capabilities to ensure a smooth gaming experience on web3. Sui’s core strengths are:

• TPS — Designed to be user and developer friendly, Sui can process up to 297,000 transactions per second (TPS), compared to Ethereum’s 30 TPS and Solana’s 65,000 TPS.
• Finality — Sui blockchain takes less than a second to fully confirm a transaction.
• Transaction Execution — Sui’s 297,000 TPS and sub-second finality are made possible by its unique consensus engine, which allows multiple transactions to be processed in parallel.

We believe that Sui’s unrivaled throughput and sub-second finality are essential aspects for players to fully enjoy Pebble games in a secure environment without delay, providing a seamless gaming experience that is no different to web2 games. In addition, as games tend to attract high traffic, especially when new content and events are updated, maintaining stability and low gas fees is a crucial part of blockchain gaming. In this regard, Sui not only guarantees predictable and low gas prices, but also ensures the secure and prompt delivery of results.

2. Focus on the Game Experience

Sui and Pebble are aligned in their relentless pursuit of quality gameplay and user engagement. This alignment is important because navigating the web3 space is still not easy for those unfamiliar with blockchain and crypto wallets.

• Gameplay

❗ Unlike web2 games, web3 gamers often experience delays in gameplay when purchasing or selling game items on-chain as transactions on the blockchain take time to finalize.

💧 The speed of the Sui network’s and the Dynamic NFTs enable instant settlement by allowing any changes to the NFT to go live along with gameplay without any lag.

• Log in & Recovery

❗ While most traditional web2 gamers are used to ID/password systems and recovery options, such as an email reset for forgotten passwords, users in web3 space must remember a 12-word mnemonic phrase to interact with dApps and it is nearly impossible to recover the phrase once it is lost.

💧 Sui’s zkLogin makes the process of onboarding to web3 straightforward by replacing the cumbersome process of installing a wallet with simple social logins.

Overcoming the main challenges is essential for smooth web3 adoption, especially for users rooted in the web2 paradigm. Utilizing Sui’s core features to service Pebble games will ensure a richer and more enjoyable gameplay experience.

3. A Long-term Growth Partner

Another reason Pebble chose to build on the Sui network is due to its viability for a long-term cooperative relationship. Pebble and Sui both stand to benefit from growth as newcomers to the web3 industry and are committed to providing top-quality gaming experiences. A shared vision is crucial for continuous collaboration, and not only to tackle current challenges in the web3 space but also to overcome potential future obstacles. Admittedly, the web3 market is susceptible to various factors, including regulations and price fluctuations. To effectively respond to potential issues, the blockchain network and dApps need to work closely together. So Pebble is excited to collaborate with Sui, comprising exceptional staff, to further enhance web3 gaming.

In brief, Pebble chose to build its platform and games on the Sui blockchain due to its exceptional technological capabilities, which fulfill all the requirements for a quality gaming experience, alongside its team who share the same objective of growing in the web3 industry and improving web3 games. With a joint pursuit of providing user-friendly experience, Pebble, together with Sui plan to deliver top-notch games and enhance user engagement.
