## Products

- [Sui Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sui_io): Sui implements object-centric blockchain architecture through Move programming language, enabling parallel transaction processing and horizontal scaling. The system achieves sub-second finality while maintaining low transaction costs through innovative consensus mechanisms. (L1, Live, Main Product)
- [Sui Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sui_io): Sui Bridge implements cross-chain asset transfers through validator-secured protocols, enabling seamless movement between Sui and Ethereum networks. The system provides native security backed by Sui validators while maintaining fast transaction processing. (Bridge, Live)
- [Sui Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sui_io): Sui Explorer provides blockchain data visualization and transaction monitoring for the Sui network. The platform enables real-time analysis of network activity, smart contract interactions, and asset movements. (Block Explorer, Live)

## Assets

- [Sui (SUI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sui_io): SUI is the native token of the Sui Network. It is used to pay transaction fees, stake in the proof-of-stake consensus system, and vote on governance decisions. The network treats all on-chain data as objects rather than accounts, allowing transactions to be processed in parallel, which gives SUI its capacity to support high-throughput applications like gaming and DeFi.
