Yesterday, the Sui Foundation announced the 20 winners of the Sui Builder Hero awards. These winners have not only built a variety of projects on the Sui network but have also gained recognition in the Sui community through participation in forums, hosting seminars, and giving talks.

Here is the complete lineup of the 20 winners and their interpretations:

Capsules: Resource Standard for Sui
The Sui blockchain uses the Move language, designed for creating digital assets, aimed at developing customizable trading logic. Move treats assets as resources, allowing developers to customize resources and set rules for modifying them. "Resources" differ from "data" because data can be copied arbitrarily, while the quantity of resources is limited. Therefore, every asset based on Move has native scarcity, is unique, and possesses corresponding access control attributes.
Capsules are programmable resource units proposed by Sui developers, serving as a resource standard.
