For founders and executives in the EVM ecosystem, the conversation has shifted. The limitations of scalability and rising transaction costs are no longer theoretical problems. The question is no longer if you should explore more advanced L1s, but how to migrate a dApp to Sui efficiently and effectively.

This document is not a technical manual; it is a C-suite blueprint. It outlines the strategic considerations, process, and partnership model for migrating your application to the high-performance Sui blockchain with Ibriz.ai.

Why Migrate to Sui? A Clear Business Case

Before diving into the “how,” let’s solidify the “why.” Migrating to Sui offers a distinct competitive advantage:

  • Massive Scalability: Sui’s object-centric model allows for horizontal scaling, capable of handling enterprise-level transaction volumes at a fraction of the cost.
  • Superior User Experience: Near-instant finality and low gas fees create a frictionless experience for your users, eliminating a major barrier to adoption.
  • Enhanced Security: The Move language is inherently safer than Solidity, with built-in protections against common exploits like re-entrancy, providing a more secure foundation for your dApp.

The EVM-to-Sui Migration Blueprint: A Phased Approach

Ibriz.ai has developed a structured, five-phase process to ensure a seamless and predictable migration.

  • Phase 1: Strategic Assessment & Feasibility (1-2 Weeks)

    • Objective: Analyze your existing EVM codebase, business logic, and goals to create a detailed migration strategy and roadmap.
    • Deliverable: A comprehensive report outlining the scope, estimated timeline, cost, and potential challenges.

  • Phase 2: Architecture & Smart Contract Rewrite (3-6 Weeks)

    • Objective: Re-architect your application’s logic to leverage Sui’s object model and rewrite your smart contracts in Move. This is not a simple translation; it’s a re-engineering for optimal performance.
    • Deliverable: Fully rewritten, gas-optimized, and secure Move smart contracts.

  • Phase 3: Backend & Frontend Integration (3-5 Weeks)

    • Objective: Update your backend services and frontend interfaces to communicate with the new Sui-based smart contracts.
    • Deliverable: A fully integrated application, functional on the Sui testnet.

  • Phase 4: Rigorous Testing & Security Audits (2-3 Weeks)

    • Objective: Conduct end-to-end testing and a full security audit of the new Move contracts to ensure the application is robust, bug-free, and secure.
    • Deliverable: An audit report and a production-ready application.

  • Phase 5: Deployment & Post-Launch Support (Ongoing)

    • Objective: Deploy the application to the Sui mainnet and provide ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition for your users.
    • Deliverable: A successful mainnet launch and a dedicated support partnership.
