This update includes many substantial changes that impact network performance and developer experience. Let&#8217;s dive into the most important changes and why they matter.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-has-changed-in-the-sui-protocol\">What Has Changed in the Sui Protocol?<\/h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"consensus-optimization\">Consensus Optimization<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>A <strong>garbage collection mechanism<\/strong> has been implemented in the consensus process, automatically removing outdated data. This significantly reduces network load and enhances overall efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faster-and-more-efficient-data-compression\">Faster and More Efficient Data Compression<\/h4>\n\n\n<p><strong>zstd compression<\/strong> has been added for the <strong>testnet<\/strong> network, reducing the amount of transmitted data and speeding up consensus operations.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"smart-ancestor-selection\">Smart Ancestor Selection<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>The new <strong>smart ancestor selection<\/strong> algorithm improves decision-making within the consensus mechanism, making it <strong>more predictable and reliable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improvements-in-cli-and-move\">Improvements in CLI and Move<\/h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"upgrade-compatibility-check\">Upgrade Compatibility Check<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>A new <code><strong>--verify-compatibility<\/strong><\/code> flag has been introduced, allowing developers to check updates before publishing them. This helps prevent errors when deploying new contract versions.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improved-movetoml\">Improved <code>Move.toml<\/code><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>When creating a new project using <code>sui move new<\/code>, the <code>Move.toml<\/code> file now automatically sets <code><strong>override = true<\/strong><\/code> for the framework. This prevents <strong>source verification errors<\/strong> and makes working with Move <strong>smoother<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"source-verification-configuration\">Source Verification Configuration<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>When <strong>publishing and upgrading contracts<\/strong>, a warning now appears indicating that source verification will become <strong>optional<\/strong> in future releases. Developers can already <strong>disable verification<\/strong> using the <code>--skip-dependency-verification<\/code> flag or <strong>enable it<\/strong> with <code>--verify-deps<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-this-important-for-developers\">Why Is This Important for Developers?<\/h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-network-is-faster-and-more-stable\">The Network Is Faster and More Stable<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>The updated consensus mechanism, which removes outdated data, reduces node load and speeds up transaction processing. This is particularly important for developers working with high-traffic dApps, as improved performance reduces latency and enhances user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fewer-issues-when-working-with-move\">Fewer Issues When Working with Move<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Changes to <code>Move.toml<\/code> eliminate source verification errors that previously caused issues when building projects. This makes smart contract development more predictable and reliable, allowing teams to focus on functionality rather than resolving technical compatibility issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"safe-and-predictable-updates\">Safe and Predictable Updates<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>The new compatibility check flag allows developers to identify potential problems before deploying new contract versions. This is especially beneficial for teams operating in production environments, as it reduces the likelihood of failures and unexpected issues during updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Sui 73 upgrade is a step forward in the evolution of the network, making it more towards being stronger, efficient, and developer-friendly.
