Author: Sui World
After much anticipation, on the evening of May 3rd, Sui Network officially launched its mainnet. In a previous article, Sui World summarized the key issues to pay attention to regarding the launch of Sui Network's mainnet, interested users can click to view. The mainnet is now successfully online; is the mainnet experience as efficient, cost-effective, and smooth as previously advertised? In this article, Sui World will take you on an initial experience of Sui Network.
Sui Information Platform
1) Sui Network Information Page
Here you can see the performance and functional differences between the Sui Network development, test, and mainnets. The mainnet currently has a total of 98 validator nodes and two nodes operated by Mysten Labs.
2) Sui Block Explorer
In the Sui Block Explorer, you can see some basic information about SUI, including TPS, the distribution of network nodes, block production status, price, market cap, and more. You can also query address transaction information.
Sui Wallet
Here, Sui World uses the Suiet wallet as an example. Click the link to enter the official website, select "Connect Wallet" to download the extension. If you are a new user, you need to create a wallet like you would with a regular wallet and record the mnemonic phrase to log in.
Sui Cross-Chain Bridge
The Sui Token cross-chain bridge is now live, allowing users to directly cross-chain 22 assets supported by Wormhole to the Sui network.
Initially, Wormhole Connect supports cross-chain assets between Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, Celo, Moonbeam, Solana, and Sui, including: ETH, WETH, USDC, MATIC, WMATIC, BNB, WBNB, AVAX, WAVAX, FTM, WFTM, CELO, GLMR, WGLRM, SOL.
Next, let's experience the official cross-chain bridge portalbridge.
After selecting "Connect Wallet," choose the network and asset. You can select either native chain assets or SUI as the transaction fee (for example, if you choose the BSC chain, you can select BNB or SUI as the fee). The fee for crossing different assets to SUI is the same, 0.2 SUI or the equivalent native chain asset, which is still very cheap.
Sui NFT Marketplace
Currently, the leading NFT trading platform Souffl3 has launched on the Sui Network mainnet.

After clicking "Connect" to link your wallet, you can participate in the platform's Launchpad and buy and sell NFTs.
Since the Sui mainnet has just launched, many ecological projects have not yet gone live on the mainnet, and the initial token distribution of Sui is entirely within centralized exchanges (CEX), rather than on-chain. Most centralized exchanges have not yet opened withdrawals, which affects user enthusiasm on-chain. Regarding this, previous articles by Sui World have also explained. However, based on the current experience of on-chain applications, the usage effect is still relatively smooth.
