Sui, the leading Layer 1 blockchain, announced its new Mysticeti protocol, which is set to hit the mainnet this summer. This significant improvement reduces consensus time on Sui's public Testnet by 80 percent to 390 milliseconds and maintains the protocol's industry-leading efficiency. This confirms that Sui is the industry's fastest consensus layer.

Mysticeti represents a significant advance from the Narwhal-Bullshark consensus algorithms that Sui launched on its Mainnet a year ago. This advancement extends Sui's low latency performance to all transaction types of the network.

Results on the testnet show the ability to commit transactions with 80 percent less latency compared to Narwhal. The optimization implemented by Mysticeti significantly reduces complexity and optimizes resource usage, allowing the Sui network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second with sub-second latencies.

Mysticeti's arrival on the mainnet is critical for Sui to continue solidifying its position at the top of blockchain speed and scale.
