In the past 24 hours, there has been a record-high number of transactions on the Sui blockchain, exceeding 29 million transaction blocks. This surge was primarily driven by the launch of the first on-chain game on Sui called Sui 8192, which is similar in gameplay to the classic puzzle game 2048.

On-chain games are becoming increasingly popular as they are ubiquitous and can be played from any device connected to the internet.

It demonstrates many interesting new use cases for NFTs, such as using an NFT for an app’s interface. Ethos was programmed as the first wholly on-chain Sui game. Each newly minted Sui 8192 object contains the game logic, while the interface was coded in javascript, CSS, and HTML.

Sui is a layer-1 blockchain launched in May 2023 and was touted at the time as a “Solana killer.” SUI prices were down 0.5% on the day at $0.678 at the time of writing.
