Sui Name Service (SuiNS) enables blockchain users to register human-readable web3 names, ensuring secure, seamless transactions and a user-friendly on-chain identity.

Some people have no trouble remembering new cell phone numbers, and there are even a select few among us who wouldn't find it hard to memorize a 16-digit bank card number. However, very few people would choose to tackle the job of reliably recalling an alphanumeric blockchain address. Network addresses on 

 (ETH) are 42 characters long, while on the 

 (SUI) blockchain they span 66. These complex and length addresses are virtually impossible for most users to remember, and are among the least user-friendly features of 

 networks. Not only are long blockchain addresses distinctly user-unfriendly, but they also lead to many instances of wrongly executed transactions due to incorrectly input characters. 

Sui Name Service (NS), a solution on the Sui blockchain, has been specifically designed to tackle this problem. The service allows users to create human-readable and easy-to-remember web3 names linked to their underlying blockchain addresses. Using SuiNS, you can transact within web3 using your preferred username and, optionally, an avatar, rather than a long, complex blockchain address.

 (NS), or simply SuiNS, is a decentralized naming service that allows you to create and use a human-readable, user-friendly web3 handle to interact with the blockchain environment, instead of using a typical long and complicated network address. 

At the underlying level, your SuiNS name is linked to your blockchain address, but all the interaction and operations on the chain happen via your registered name.

SuiNS was first conceptualized and launched in 2022, inspired by the popular 

 (ENS). In many ways, SuiNS and ENS are similar, the obvious difference being that each one applies to its own respective blockchain environment. In May 2023, SuiNS was introduced on the Sui blockchain's newly launched mainnet. The service was developed and is supported by Mysten Labs, the development studio behind the Sui blockchain project. Since the beginning of the Sui blockchain's conceptualization, SuiNS has been among the core projects of the entire Sui ecosystem. As of late November 2024, SuiNS has managed to achieve the remarkable milestone of having registered nearly 330,000 names.

Using SuiNS, you can register your preferred username (as long as it's not been taken) for one year by paying a registration fee, currently charged in SUI coins. The name can be renewed at expiration for up to five years. All interactions with the blockchain environment through your wallet use your preferred username, rather than your blockchain address.

SuiNS names can be between 3 and 63 characters. Users can check the availability of their preferred handle and register it using the 

, where a lookup textbox is prominently displayed. Shorter names cost more than longer handles. As of the time of this writing (Nov 21, 2024), a three-character-long name costs 500 SUI ($1,785) and a four-character name will cost 100 SUI ($357), while names with five or more characters are priced at 20 SUI ($71.40).

A SuiNS name can only be registered for one year, but it can be renewed for up to four years (excluding the initial registration year). There's a 30-day grace period after the expiration of your SuiNS name, during which you may still renew it. If you don't renew during the grace period, your registered name will be up for grabs by anyone on the market. Optionally, you can buy an NFT avatar linked to your SuiNS name.

 (DApp) ecosystem on the Sui blockchain. Developers can use off-chain remote procedure calls (RPCs) to integrate the Sui service into their application environments. They can also take advantage of the native, on-chain SuiNS SDK to interact with the service.

Thanks to SuiNS, you can enjoy short, comprehensible names for your own address, as well as the addresses of the parties with whom you transact (if they also sign up for the service). No more forgettable string combinations that are hard to read and virtually impossible to remember!

However, a SuiNS name isn't just a tool of convenience. It also represents your decentralized identity on-chain. The identity is fully owned by you, the user, rather than by a centralized entity.

SuiNS minimizes the likelihood of lost assets due to sending funds to the wrong address: short, easy-to-remember names are way less prone to incorrectly executed transactions than standard blockchain addresses.

Security is also among the benefits of SuiNS. The service runs on the Sui chain, which prides itself on developing and enforcing high-grade security standards. Among these are 

, a framework that maintains a list of malicious websites and on-chain assets, thus protecting the Sui ecosystem from 

 launched by these known nefarious entities.

The SuiNS service launched its native token, NS, on Nov 14, 2024. Initially, NS is envisioned to support 

 processes on the platform, and will also be used for purchasing and trading SuiNS names. Currently, names are traded using SUI, the blockchain's native cryptocurrency. It's likely that NS will replace SUI in this capacity in the near future. The project team has also hinted that there could be additional uses for the NS token beyond governance and payment for SuiNS names. More announcements on this issue are likely to follow.

During the initial phase of the token's existence, governance will be its most prominent function. Holders of NS will be able to vote on important issues concerning the protocol's rules and future direction. One NS equals one vote, with more NS tokens giving you a greater say in the overall decision-making process. You can also increase your voting power by locking your NS tokens for from one to 12 months. For every additional month locked, you obtain 10% voting power. To encourage voting, 5% of the NS token's supply has been allocated for governance rewards. NS is a 

 token, with a total and maximum supply set at 500 million. The token's supply distribution shares are per the chart below.

NS is available on Bybit's Spot market as a swap pair with USDT (

). You can also take advantage of Bybit's campaign dedicated to the token to grab a share of the 

. Three campaign events for eligible users run through Nov 27, 2024, 8AM UTC:

Thanks to Sui Name Service, interacting on-chain has become easier and more user-friendly. However, easy-to-remember names aren't the only benefit: advantages also include lower likelihood of lost funds, better security and a completely decentralized, user-owned identity on-chain. So far, around 330,000 names have been registered, and with the impressive suite of benefits, expect this number to grow as we move with SuiNS into 2025.

Sui Name Service (NS): Your On-Chain Identity Made Simple

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing an influx of speculative trading, particularly with meme coins like DOGE, PEPE and BONK experiencing extraordinary gains. 

November 2024 has marked a significant milestone for Bitcoin, with its price soaring to $94,105. This unprecedented growth has been driven by global events and heightened social media discussions, with predictions of six-figure valuations. Historically, peaks in social media chatter often precede market corrections, signaling traders to exercise caution. Currently, while whale accumulation remains strong — with wallets holding over 10 Bitcoin adding 53,006 more BTC in just one month — retail traders remain surprisingly cautious. This wary sentiment contrasts sharply with the bullish behavior usually seen during price surges, suggesting a potential correction.

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing an influx of speculative trading, particularly with meme coins like DOGE, PEPE and BONK experiencing extraordinary gains. Despite their volatility, these tokens reflect a broader appetite for high-risk investments. Notably, whale investors holding 1M–100M DOGE are accumulating, while smaller holders are selling, creating conditions for potential breakouts. However, if new capital stops flowing, these speculative assets could face significant downturns. Additionally, while discussions around Bitcoin reaching $100K are increasing, they haven’t reached the levels seen earlier this year, indicating that fear of missing out (FOMO) may not yet be fully realized.

Institutional Interest and Ethereum's Resurgence

Demand for Bitcoin ETFs has surged, with daily trading volumes hitting a record $8.21 billion, signaling increased institutional interest. This activity often coincides with market peaks, but could also indicate new investments flowing into the crypto space. Meanwhile, Ethereum has also gained momentum, breaking above $3,100 for the first time in over 14 weeks. Additionally, whale accumulation is on the rise, suggesting that as Bitcoin leads the market, profits may soon be redirected into Ethereum. In contrast, Solana's price movements remain highly sentiment-driven, with funding rates indicating potential entry points for investors. Overall, altcoins are experiencing growth, particularly following the U.S. elections, which have reignited optimism in the crypto market.

Bitcoin's Resurgence: Analyzing Market Dynamics and Speculative Trends in November 2024

Crypto market makers play a crucial role in providing liquidity by consistently placing buy and sell orders. Learn more about how they work here.

The cryptocurrency market is notorious for its high volatility and sometimes low liquidity, making it a challenging environment for traders and investors. Executing trades can be difficult, often resulting in significant price 

Market making is a strategic approach that provides the necessary liquidity to stabilize markets, ensuring smoother trades and reducing volatility. By creating buy and sell orders around the current market price, market makers help maintain a healthy trading ecosystem. This article examines the fundamentals of market making, its benefits for traders and exchanges and the way it enhances the overall efficiency of the cryptocurrency market.

A crypto market maker is an entity or individual who primarily provides liquidity in cryptocurrency markets by continuously placing buy and sell orders for digital assets. This activity ensures efficient trading and helps maintain stable prices.

Crypto market makers play a key role in keeping markets liquid by continuously placing buy and sell orders on exchanges. Here's a closer look at how they operate.

Key Characteristics of a Crypto Market Maker

Crypto market makers provide liquidity and stabilize prices in the cryptocurrency market. The following are the key traits that enable them to operate effectively.

Market makers continually place buy and sell orders, ensuring the availability of transactions for traders. This constant availability reduces wait times for trades and minimizes the price impact of large orders, making the market more efficient and accessible for everyone.

One of the fundamental roles of market makers is that of managing the bid-ask spread. By consistently quoting competitive prices, they narrow this spread, thereby enhancing trading efficiency and reducing costs for other market participants. This spread is also their primary source of profit.

Market makers leverage advanced algorithms and HFT strategies to analyze market conditions and optimize their order placements. This technology allows them to react swiftly to price changes and maintain a balanced inventory of assets, which helps to manage risk and maximize profitability.

Due to the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets, effective risk management is vital for market makers. They employ various techniques, such as hedging and real-time market analysis, to minimize exposure to sudden price swings. This ensures their operations remain stable even in the face of market fluctuations.

By providing continuous liquidity and facilitating smooth trading operations, market makers enhance overall market efficiency. Their presence attracts more traders, which increases transaction volumes, boosts exchange activity and contributes to a healthier trading environment.

Given the quickly evolving nature of the cryptocurrency landscape, market makers must be adaptable, continually refining their strategies in response to new technologies, regulatory changes and shifts in market dynamics. This ensures they remain competitive and relevant.

Crypto market makers play a critical role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem by providing liquidity and stabilizing prices. Despite the integral role they play, however, their operations come with both advantages and disadvantages. 

Additional Importance of a Crypto Market Maker

Crypto market makers play a vital role in maintaining the efficiency and stability of the cryptocurrency market. Their presence on crypto exchanges ensures trading environments operate smoothly. 

Newer and smaller cryptocurrencies often struggle with liquidity. Market makers provide a market for these assets, promoting their growth and creating a more diverse and dynamic crypto ecosystem.

Through continual quoting of prices, market makers aid in fair price discovery, ensuring that cryptocurrency prices reflect actual market demand rather than extreme fluctuations. This promotes a more trustworthy and transparent trading environment that allows traders to make data-backed decisions. 

Crypto market makers are essential players in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, providing liquidity, stabilizing prices and ensuring smooth trade execution. Their use of advanced algorithms and real-time order placements encourages a more efficient, accessible and fair market. However, risks such as market manipulation, potential capital loss and lack of regulation can be problematic. Overall, the role of market makers in supporting emerging assets and maintaining market stability makes them indispensable for a healthy and growing crypto environment.

New to the cryptocurrency game? Not sure about your short from long, your maker from your taker fees, or your Market Orders from your Limit Orders? Don’t fret! It’s all explained here in the guide on how to trade Bitcoin on Bybit.

Firstly, let’s cover the basics and explain what we mean by Bitcoin and Bitcoin (BTC) is one of five cryptocurrencies that you can trade on Bybit, with the others being ETH, EOS, XRP and USDT. Although we’ll focus on Bitcoin and how to trade that on Bybit in this article, the same logic applies to the other tradable cryptocurrencies as well.

Bitcoin takes up the lion share of trading volume and general awareness when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Some estimates have put the 

 of Bitcoin among cryptocurrencies to be as high as

Its price is notoriously volatile, which for many speculative traders, is a major factor in its appeal. After reaching a peak in the price of nearly $20,000 in late 2017, its price plummeted in early 2018 and it remained bearish throughout the year. However, this year its price has been somewhat bullish, being around $7,200 at the time of writing (11/26/2019), an increase of around 200% from what it was at the dawn of the year.

A derivative, as its name suggests, is something that derives its value from an asset, and in Bybit’s case, this is cryptocurrency. Also in Bybit’s case, the agreement to buy or sell the cryptocurrency asset comes in the form of a perpetual contract.

A perpetual contract is an innovative product used in cryptocurrency trading that is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at an unspecified point in the future – there is no expiry date. It is essentially in between spots margin trading (that settles immediately) and futures (that settles at a specified point in the future)

Now, we’ve covered what Bitcoin means, let’s take a look at how you can trade them on Bybit.

Before you start trading on Bitcoin on Bybit, you’ll need to set up a Bybit account.

With no KYC, it’s a quick and easy process. You just need to give your email address or mobile number. If you don’t already have an account, you can click here to get started.

Please be aware that you can not buy Bitcoin on Bybit, nor can you deposit any other form of currency such as fiat or other cryptocurrencies to trade Bitcoin with on the platform, so you’ll need to have an existing Bitcoin wallet from which you can deposit Bitcoin into your wallet on Bybit.

As you’ll be able to see, it is possible to buy (long) or sell (short) your position. There are a variety of options available in terms of types of orders (Market, Limit and Conditional), and leverage, order price and quantity. Also, there are three-time in force methods to execute your order: "Good Till Cancelled," "Immediate Or Cancel" and "Fill or Kill" These are used when executing limit orders.

Let’s go into more detail about these terms:

• You will click on "Buy/long" or "Sell/short" at the final stage of order execution after you have configured all your order settings.

 are instantly executed and filled from the order book at the best available price.

• There are two types of Market Orders: buy Market Orders and sell Market Orders. Execution is guaranteed, but as markets can fluctuate, the execution price is not. Taker fees of 0.075% are applied to Market Orders because traders are taking away liquidity from the order book.

 are not instantly executed, but you can guarantee the price that they will be executed, providing the price is hit.

• This is done by pre-setting the price the order will be executed. Buy Limit Orders must be set at a lower price than the last traded price, or they will be filled as a Market Order immediately. On the flip side, Sell Limit Orders must be set at a higher price than the last traded price for the same reason. How much of a Limit Order gets filled may depend on what time on force methods are used, of which there are three. Traders receive maker fees of 0.025% when they conduct Limit Orders because they provide liquidity to the order book.

 orders remain active until they are fully executed, or canceled by the trader.

orders must be filled at the limit price or better immediately. If the orders cannot be filled immediately, they will be canceled. It is possible to have a partial fill for IOC orders. If there is a partial fill, the unfilled part of the order will be canceled.

orders must be filled at the limit price or better immediately. If this doesn’t happen, they will be canceled. Unlike IOC, partial fills are not allowed.

Let’s take a look at an example of how to use a Limit Order.

A trader wants to buy 10,000 BTC USD perpetual contracts immediately with a maximum execution price of no more than 7,001 USD.

If GTC is taken, 5000 contracts would be immediately filled, with the other 5000 added to the order book, waiting to be executed.

If FOK is taken, nothing would be filled, and the order would be canceled, as there are not enough contracts (10,000) in the order book to fill the order.

If IOC is taken, 5000 contracts would be filled, at 7001 USD, with the remaining orders being canceled.

To partially or fully close a position, a 

 could also be used, meaning a position is closed when a certain level of profit is met.

 can also be as an additional option when playing Limit Orders to ensure your position is not increased unintentionally.

 is an advanced type of order more often used by more experienced traders. These orders are submitted automatically when the trigger price is met.

will be immediately filled once the trigger price meets the last traded price, while a 

 will be submitted to the order book, and only be filled once the last traded price reaches the preset order price.

Traders can use Conditional Orders indirectly to set up

. This can be advantageous when traders want to trade a breakout in the market.

To ensure Limit Orders will enter the order book and receive a maker rebate when their orders are executed, traders can use 

 when placing Limit or Conditional Orders.
