# Sui & Move Fundamentals

EVE Frontier runs on the [Sui](https://sui.io/) blockchain, leveraging the power and security of the [Move](https://docs.sui.io/concepts/sui-move-concepts) programming language. Understanding Sui’s architecture and Move’s unique features will unlock the full potential of developing Smart Assemblies and interactive systems for players.

## What is Sui?

**Sui** is a high-performance, Layer 1 blockchain designed for secure, scalable, and low-latency digital asset ownership and transfer. It is optimized for real-time, dynamic applications — like games and social platforms — where transaction throughput and parallelism matter.

**Key Sui Features:**

* **Low Latency:** Extremely fast transaction finality, suitable for real-time interactions.
* **High Throughput:** Scales horizontally by processing transactions in parallel, not just one at a time.
* **Object-Centric Model:** Every asset is a unique on-chain object with its own identity, ownership, and history.
* **Native Support for Games:** Built with composability and upgradability in mind.

## What is Move?

**Move** is a smart contract language originally built for blockchain applications and now integral to the Sui ecosystem. Move prioritizes security, resource management, and flexibility, making it ideal for complex interactions in games.

**Key Move Features:**

* **Resource-Oriented Programming:** Assets are treated as first-class resources. They can’t be duplicated or accidentally destroyed, preventing common bugs in digital asset management.
* **Modules and Scripts:** Logic is organized into reusable modules, while scripts interact with those modules to perform actions.
* **Strong Typing:** Move enforces strict type and ownership checks at compile-time and runtime.
* **Upgradeable and Composable:** Contracts can be designed for modular upgrades and extensibility.
