# Sui Network Introduction

The Sui Network is a high performance infrastructure layer built for speed and low latency, created by former Meta engineers. It is designed to handle large transaction volumes reliably, making it well suited for gaming applications where performance and responsiveness matter.

Sui uses a Delegated Proof of Stake consensus model, allowing SUI holders to delegate voting power to validators. This improves network scalability while reducing energy demands compared to traditional consensus systems, aligning with our goal of building a sustainable long-term ecosystem.

Sui's vision extends beyond infrastructure. Innovations like the SuiPlay0X1 handheld console show the network's commitment to bringing its technology directly into players' hands in practical, tangible ways.
