Most NFT marketplaces reveal user identities, bids, transactions, and other information including the content of NFTs to the public. This can be implemented as a service provided by Mysten and requires only the addition of a few functions to the Sui framework and a smart contract. In Sui the usage will be for a continuous supply of on-chain randomness where we only need to assume that 1-out-of-n parties is honest. VDF’s can be used to construct verifiable, unbiasable on-chain randomness and as also used as a proof-of-work for some blockchain designs.
To help builders assess how their dApps consume gas, we’ve been working on a tool to profile and visualize gas usage in applications, based on the Chrome profiler. We hope this makes developer onboarding a more seamless experience for Windows developers. We will be adding these binaries to Chocolatey so that Windows users can also take advantage of a package-manager workflow to keep their binaries updated.
This was released on Testnet in early January of 2024, and after testing, we hope to release this on Mainnet in early February. We are adding the capability for shared objects to be deleted (causing storage rebates to be reclaimed by the entity that submits the transaction deleting the shared object). We are adding support for BLS group operations to be added in the future.
Builders working in language ecosystems without a BCS implementation can call this library using their languages FFI support. Binary Canonical Serialization, or BCS, is the data format used to represent data on Sui, but many languages lack support for BCS. Utilizing the original toolchain prevents the occurrence of verification failures that could arise from benign changes introduced by newer toolchains.
