Sui Testnet v1.80.1 Unveils Protocol 137 Features
Mysten Labs has released Sui testnet v1.80.1, featuring protocol version 137 updates that affect various aspects of the Sui stack.
The release includes changes to protocol logic, GraphQL, JSON-RPC, and archival services, which are aimed at improving developer-facing features such as cryptographic verification, package visibility, and data services.
One notable change is the cheaper and more efficient range-proof verification using Ristretto255, which supports larger batches. Additionally, the GraphQL subscription root has moved into the production schema for operators who choose to enable it.
The update also changes execution and gas-accounting behavior under protocol version 137. However, developers should note that this is a testnet release and not a completed Sui mainnet upgrade.
