Currently, builders can:
- Write and test Move smart contracts
- Spin up a local Sui network
- Publish and run Move smart contracts on a local network
In the coming months, we will release:
- A public devnet that allows Sui devs to do all of the above on a shared network powered by Mysten-operated authorities
- A public testnet that onboards a diverse set of non-Mysten authorities to the network
- A public mainnet with real assets and production applications!
A more fine-grained description of the upcoming features and improvements to the Sui codebase follows.
- Constantly running Sui network
- Productionizing network stack
