In the fourth quarter of 2023, Footprint Analytics became the first data solution provider for Sui blockchain comprehensive data, further consolidating our leadership in blockchain analytics. This integration marks an important step in providing developers, enterprises and analysts with reliable and actionable insights into the emerging blockchain ecosystem.
Sui and Move languages: a new paradigm for blockchain development
Sui is a new generation blockchain network that uses the Move programming language. Compared with traditional blockchain languages, Move focuses more on security, flexibility, and efficiency. It allows developers to define custom resource types with ownership and access control, which is very suitable for building smart contracts that are both secure and complex.
Sui is unique in that it is an object-centric model, which is different from the account model adopted by most blockchains. In Sui, each asset is treated as an object, which can be modified independently in parallel, thereby achieving higher transaction throughput. This makes Sui an ideal choice for high-performance decentralized application platforms such as games and NFTs.
Sui Data Integration Journey: From Raw Data to Structured Insights
Integrating Sui data into Footprint Analytics was a complex but fruitful task. Our team first acquired the raw, unstructured data from the Sui network, which we call “Bronze data.” This step required us to deeply understand Sui’s architecture and the Move programming language to ensure the accuracy and usability of the data.
Synchronizing all historical data through RPC nodes is a key step in the integration process. Doing so ensures that our database contains not only the latest data, but also the comprehensiveness of historical data, providing users with a complete view of Sui blockchain activities.
The next step is to transform this raw data into structured, domain-specific data, our “Silver Data”. This phase is extremely challenging due to Sui’s non-EVM-compatible nature. Our developers must deeply understand the logic of GameFi, NFTs, and NFT markets on the Sui network to build the necessary infrastructure. This includes collecting static data such as smart contracts and project names, decoding NFT metadata, and integrating Sui chain token information.
Through this rigorous process, we developed a powerful API that now provides easy access to Sui’s blockchain data. This not only demonstrates the technical strength of Footprint Analytics, but also our commitment to supporting emerging blockchain ecosystems like Sui.
Supporting the Sui ecosystem with data-driven insights
The integration of Footprint Analytics on Sui data goes beyond a technical achievement, it is our strategic move to support the growth and success of the Sui ecosystem. By providing comprehensive data insights, we empower developers and projects in the Sui network to make informed decisions, optimize their dApps, and drive innovation.
In the gaming space in particular, this integration will have a significant impact. Sui's gaming ecosystem, including groundbreaking projects like Pebble , will benefit greatly from the detailed data and analysis provided by Footprint Analytics. Developers can now access real-time and historical data on user acquisition, retention, transactions, and volume, which will help them effectively optimize game mechanics, enhance user experience, and improve monetization strategies.
For NFT creators and markets on Sui, the value of Footprint Analytics lies in the ability to track asset performance, understand market trends, and gain insight into user behavior. The data we provide on over 3,600 NFT series, including volume, transactions, royalties, buyer and seller activity, transaction history, and wash trade analysis, is critical to building sustainable and successful NFT projects on the Sui network.
