DARKTIMES Joins the Sui Revolution
Times. Are. Changing. Today, DARKTIMES is thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Sui — a blockchain that we believe is poised to define the future of gaming.
Joining Sui is not just a technical choice — it’s a mutual commitment to push the boundaries of what’s possible, while inviting the next billion gamers to join us on the journey.
By penning a long term deal with Sui, we at DARKTIMES feel we’ve found the perfect home to roll out the red carpet for both traditional and crypto-game enthusiasts as they turn their collective gaze to the possibilities of gaming on the blockchain, and look for the easiest place to start their journey.
Why Sui?
In a busy world of Layer Ones, Layer Twos, and now even Layer Threes, Sui stands apart. Built by the former lead architects of Facebook’s ambitious Libra project, the Sui blockchain is the result of years of meticulous research and development.
Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui, designed the blockchain from the ground up with one primary focus: scalability without compromise. With industry-leading throughput of over 270,000 transactions per second (TPS) and best-in-class security, Sui has positioned itself as a nascent force in the new age of blockchain tech.
But while Sui’s technical side is undoubtedly impressive — revolutionary, even — deep down we know that the average gamer, like the average consumer, cares most about one thing: their user experience.
Gamers want fast; they want responsive, safe, and easy to use. They want seamless onboarding, social logins, and the flexibility to use custodial asset services. At the end of the day, what most people want is simplicity — not a science lesson. And that’s where Sui shines.

With zkLogins, dynamic and nestable assets (allowing your assets to evolve, combine and create new, ultra-rare combinations), and a commitment to supporting consumer apps, Sui is positioning itself as the logical home for retail users…and gamers.
Sui’s Commitment to Innovation
One of the most exciting aspects of our partnership with Sui is their groundbreaking approach to integrating Web3 technology with traditional gaming platforms. We searched long and hard for a blockchain that not only talks the talk; but walks the walk, too.
Everyone seems to romanticise the idea of gaming; everyone speaks of it as the logical entry point for the next wave of blockchain users. ‘The catalyst for mass adoption.’ But only a very few, in our opinion, have taken real, demonstrable steps to making that dream a reality.
As we at DARKTIMES sought a place to hunker down for the dark and ominous days ahead of our launch, the synergy with the Sui team felt palpable; it was impossible to ignore their genuine excitement and belief in gaming as a core way to introduce the world to the power and benefits of the blockchain.
As DARKTIMES, we met over a dozen chains and had deep technical and philosophical conversations with almost all of them. While there are many fantastic blockchains out there with impressive roadmaps and traction, none felt quite as aligned with our mission as the team at Sui.
At the end of the day, Sui is growing — rapidly. We think that our growth can be symbiotic and, ultimately, benefit both teams greatly.
DARKTIMES and the Future of Blockchain Gaming
The global gaming industry is already a behemoth, with over 3 billion active gamers and revenues exceeding $250 billion annually. But we believe that the real revolution is just beginning, driven by the integration of blockchain technology; the intersection of culture and technology. This next frontier in gaming is not just about playing; it’s about ownership, transferability, control, and true participation in digital economies.
Just wait til the average gamer finds out that blockchain gaming is getting really good.
DARKTIMES is designed to be more than just a game; it’s a world where players can own their progress, their assets, and their legacy. With Sui’s technology supporting us, we’re able to offer an experience that is not only immersive and engaging but also fundamentally empowering for our players.
The scalability of Sui ensures that as DARKTIMES grows, our players will continue to enjoy a smooth, responsive experience. Whether you’re fighting friend-or-foe to the death in epic PvP battles or hunting the elusive Loot Goblin, Sui’s blockchain will keep the action flowing seamlessly, with near-instant transactions and super low costs.
Looking Ahead: The Future is Bright
We’re incredibly bullish on the future of blockchain gaming, and our partnership with Sui is a significant reason as to why. The potential for growth is enormous, not just for DARKTIMES, but for the entire gaming industry. With Sui’s best-in-class tech and our ecosystem’s relentless commitment to creating a world-class gaming experience, we believe that we are well positioned to help bring blockchain gaming mainstream.
This is more than just a partnership; it’s the beginning of a new era. An era where gamers aren’t just players — they’re owners, creators, and ruthless killers in the medieval landscape of DARKTIMES. And we’re proud to start the journey with Sui by our side.
