This episode of the Whiteboard Series dives into Sui, a blockchain built by Mysten Labs using the Move programming language. Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR, hosts Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder & Chief Cryptographer at Mysten Labs. Kostas was previously a cryptographer at Facebook, working on Libra, encryption of WhatsApp, and more.

Mysten Labs was founded in 2021 by a team of ex-Facebook engineers. They are building Sui, a decentralized, delegated Proof-of-Stake blockchain with high throughput, low latency, and an asset-oriented programming model. Mysten are also working to accelerate adoption of Move, an open-source programming language for building smart contracts originally developed as part of the Libra project.

This Whiteboard Series episode dives into MEV (maximal extractable value). NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin (twitter.com/ilblackdragon) talks to Tarun Chitra (twitter.com/tarunchitra), founder & CEO of Gauntlet Network (gauntlet.network). Gauntlet is a financial modeling platform focused on risk management for decentralized finance.

Illia and Tarun unpack MEV––a term describing the maximum value that can be extracted from block production in excess of the standard block reward and gas fees by including, excluding, and changing the order of transactions in a block. The video breaks down how MEV works on PoS Ethereum, where validators are now responsible for transaction ordering/inclusion, and how the MEV environment is evolving across chains today. They also explore where NEAR’s unique protocol design differs from other blockchains and the opportunities this offers to NEAR developers and traders.

NEAR Protocol is built to scale to 1 Billion users in 5 years. How will we actually get there? NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin's solo Whiteboard Series session shares his vision for the NEAR ecosystem, unpacking each layer of the stack and outlining what we still need to build out.

NEAR was designed from day one to be simple, secure, and scalable. From the flexible account model and familiar coding languages to Proof-of-Stake and a sharding architecture that places zero burden on developers and users, Illia shows how each element interacts to support the best user developer experience in Web3: from the platform, to the ecosystem, to the applications, to user acquisition and ecosystem governance – and where we go from here.

For a clear mental model of NEAR Protocol, what sets the tech apart, and where we're heading as an ecosystem, check out the first-ever Whiteboard Series by NEAR and about NEAR.
