Sui University Builder Day & Mini-Hackathon with @firstmoversvn @harry_phan06 @jjonlydown @kristen_crpt @williamm168 @HUC0610

Thank you everyone for making First Movers Sprint a huge success! 🚀 We brought together an incredible group of next-generation First Movers and Sui builders. Big thanks to our co-hosts ITviec & @CommandOSS 🤝 And special appreciation to our sponsors @NoodlesFi , @FlowX_finance , @Scallop_io , @ferra_protocol for the amazing support 🙌 Let’s keep building! 💙

@terranweb3 @jjonlydown hello nice to meet you

Recently, I have been organizing and participating in many hackathons as a judge. I train participants from the very beginning. I see many fresh students who know nothing about Web3 or blockchain, and I help guide them from zero to one. Through this journey, I realized that what I truly want to bring to them is belief and hope, the belief that they can absolutely achieve what they want. The joy and emotional moments when they accomplish something make me feel truly fulfilled. Even though I know I cannot give them too much, I hope that the victories they achieve through training, as well as the failures they experience, will become motivation for their path ahead. Life is always competitive, and I hope that whether you win or lose, you will always keep your faith. This is not the last time, or simply, if you lose this round, you will prepare for the next one. The photo below captures the overwhelming emotions of two students from Van Hien University who won first prize at the SuiHub Discovery x Van Hien University event that I organized. One member of the team shook my hand after the kickoff session two weeks before the training and competition, and shared that they had followed me for a long time in blockchain development. Looking back at that moment made me reflect deeply, and I realized that what I am doing is truly helping others. This is exactly what motivates me to keep trying to do better in everything I am doing. I am not just working. I am working with all of my heart. Thank you, everyone.

The past days at First Movers Sprint were intense and deeply rewarding. With direct mentorship and true passion, First Movers spent 48 hours building products they truly believe in. 📅 Wednesday night, 18:00 - 20:00 Jan 21, we’ll come together to reflect and recognize the winning teams at First Movers Award Night. See you all there, First Movers 🫡 🙌Join now: luma.com/jo40ferw

Why it’s a big deal when a smart contract can check who paid for the transaction? On many blockchains, smart contracts can’t see who paid for execution because account abstraction is not native to the protocol, but mostly an extension pattern. That means contracts can’t tell whether a transaction: a) came through an approved UI b) was pre-validated for safety c) was checked off-chain for gas, randomness, or abuse d) was vouched for by a trusted system On Sui, this changes. Contracts can natively read the transaction ⁠by  ctx.sponsor() ⁠ This turns gas payment into a first-class security and policy signal. I'm assembling a list of cool tricks for modern smart contract development. - Sponsored execution becomes a cryptographic “vouch” If a trusted sponsor paid, the contract can know the full transaction was inspected and approved, not just signed. Also, some devs might expect that txns touching their contract came from specific UIs, and not bot CLIs, which might technically be possible if you are a smart dev :) - Verified Programmable Transaction Blocks (PTBs) Sponsors can simulate, analyze, and validate the entire transaction structure w/ a dry run (command ordering, package allowlists, gas safety margins). On-chain, the contract could simply check sponsor's identity. - Protection against under-gas, griefing, and clever batching attacks Instead of re-implementing complex validation logic on-chain, a contract dev can require that a trusted sponsor pre-validated execution conditions. - Bridges and cross-chain security Modern Bridge contracts can enforce a clean invariant: “Messages are accepted only if sponsored by some bridge verified auditor”. This prevents calldata injection, fake messages, and relayer trust assumptions. - Off-chain intelligence, on-chain enforcement Dynamic checks (risk scoring, simulations, threat intel, staged rollouts) happen off-chain. The contract enforces them trustlessly by checking who paid. - Gas becomes a policy input, not just a fee Contracts can: – allow execution only if sponsored – apply different logic or fees based on sponsor – require explicit liability for sensitive actions The key insight: When a contract knows who paid for execution, it knows who vouched for execution. Ofc, a few things could be simulated with oracles, NFTs etc, so food for thought! Happy Sunday 🙏

@terranweb3 I can’t wait to see you 😂

First Movers Sprint Final Day. 
Only 2 hours left until the pitching and project demo session. The submission form will close at 3:00 PM. 
Projects will be divided into three zones, and the competition will officially begin at 4:00 PM. 🔥 As one of the judges, I can’t wait to see your projects! @firstmoversvn

12 hours left & devs ready for overnight building at @firstmoversvn

@williamm168 @firstmoversvn 🙄

@terranweb3 @firstmoversvn Banger!

The atmosphere at the Kick-off Dinner of First Mover Sprint Hackathon 2026 🔥 at @firstmoversvn

Rushing to prepare gifts and the venue for First Movers Sprint 2026 to welcome everyone tonight at the Kickoff Dinner 😍 at @firstmoversvn

One Sui Stack to build, launch, and scale your dream DApp for the global economy 💡🌍 Today, our DevRel @harry_phan06 will introduce the beauty of the Sui Stack at the first pre-event workshop of the First Movers Sprint Hackathon. 📍 Hybrid event 🏢 CommandOSS Office: 54 Lê Quốc Hưng, Xóm Chiếu Ward, HCMC ⌛️Time: 18:00-20:00 Join us in person at the CommandOSS Office for real engagement, or join online. 🔗 The online link will be shared shortly in the comment below.

Even though Nautilus is a new and experimental technology, many things are still unclear: - Will the product get users? - Will it generate revenue? - Will the infrastructure cost ever be recovered? ~4 million VND per month is a meaningful expense, especially for: - Solo developers - Students - Small, bootstrapped teams Put in the context of Vietnam’s income levels ~4 million VND / month: - Is a significant percentage of a junior developer’s salary - Is close to basic monthly living expenses for many students - Becomes stressful when it continues for multiple months This naturally makes developers much more cautious before committing long-term. This post is simply a community share, intended to help others: - Avoid unexpected bills - Plan infrastructure more consciously - Make build decisions based on real constraints, not hype If you’re building on Nautilus or a similar stack, feel free to share your experience so the community can learn together. (4/4)

What if you run it 24/7? Calculated directly using AWS Pricing Calculator, with the configuration commonly used to run Nautilus: EC2 (m5.xlarge): ~140 USD / month EBS (~50GB): ~4 USD / month Public IPv4: ~3–4 USD / month Total: ~147–150 USD / month ≈ 3.7–4 million VND / month (3/4)

Building on Nautilus is NOT cheap. Infrastructure costs should never be underestimated, especially when experimenting with new technology. This post shares real infrastructure costs of running Sui Nautilus on AWS, based on what several developers in the Dolphinder Developers community are currently building and openly sharing, to give everyone a clearer, more realistic perspective before deciding whether to build. This is not a hype post, nor a judgment on whether Nautilus is good or bad. It’s simply about infrastructure cost, something every developer eventually has to face. (1/4)
