Sui Foundation Announces Successful Deployment of Mysticeti Testnet

The Sui Foundation has announced the successful deployment of the Mysticeti testnet, a new consensus protocol that the team says reduces consensus times on Sui by 80% to 390 milliseconds, making it the fastest consensus layer in the industry: Mysticeti was developed during an in-depth study of the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism and represents an advance on Narwhal-Bullshark, which introduced a consensus algorithm in its mainnet. This enhancement optimizes resource usage, reduces complexity for developers, and allows the Sui network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second with latency well below a second.
