Sui Network recently made a major move—planning to implement Layer-1 level private transaction capabilities by 2026. This is not just a cherry on top, but a strategic breakthrough under the dual pressures of quantum computing and regulation.

In simple terms, Sui aims to create an "Invisible Wallet" system that makes transaction records completely private, so much so that even network nodes cannot trace the flow of funds. This is a boon for crypto users—currently, most transfers on public blockchains can be easily traced back to specific addresses.

Why the urgency? The pressure mainly comes from two directions. First is the future threat of quantum computing. Once quantum computers become widespread, existing cryptographic algorithms could be cracked instantly, potentially exposing privacy coin addresses. Second is the tightening regulation—governments worldwide are increasingly scrutinizing on-chain fund flows, with Tornado Cash sanctions being a vivid example.

From a competitive perspective, Sui is vying with established privacy coins like Monero and Zcash. However, Sui has a natural advantage—as a Layer-1 public chain, its transaction throughput can surpass its competitors. But the obvious question remains: can they really develop quantum-safe algorithms by 2026? Currently, Sui is still in the PoS consensus stage, and technical challenges are significant; delays are common.

If this project truly succeeds, the SUI token could become a new favorite in the privacy payment sector, but only if it can capture market share from other public chains. At the same time, several risks should be watched: the commercial viability of quantum computing remains uncertain, regulators might outright ban privacy transactions, and the technical complexity could lead to development delays.

2026? Haha, I bet five cents it will be pushed back to 2027 Privacy transactions sound great, but the question is, will regulators really allow them to go live? Quantum computing and invisible wallets, it feels like every public chain is saying the same thing Sui's throughput can indeed compete, but the technical difficulty... frankly, it's a gamble that it won't be delayed If SUI really becomes a new star in privacy payments, I’ll have to reevaluate this move If you ask me, instead of focusing on 2026, it’s better to see what tangible things it can deliver this year The quantum computing threat is still far off, let’s not scare people with it now The path of privacy coins is getting harder... regulators are holding the sword above it

Get quantum-safe privacy done by 2026? I think it's a pipe dream; Sui is just making empty promises again. Speaking of Tornado Cash as a warning, if this privacy feature really goes live, will regulators turn a blind eye? Throughput crushing Monero is useless; the key question is how long it can survive.

2026？Haha, I bet 5 SOL it won't be out until 2027 --- Invisible wallets sound cool, but can Sui really do better than Monero? I remain skeptical --- Quantum computing is mostly scare tactics; the real threat comes from the government folks --- Throughput is useless if regulations ban it; just wait and see --- If it actually gets developed, it could rise, but I think it's mostly just talk on paper --- Oh my God, another "before 2026" flag, big public chains love setting distant deadlines --- Sui wants to compete with privacy coins for business; only time will tell if regulators will allow it

Another flag for 2026. I bet 5 bucks it will be postponed to 2028. Sounds good, but is quantum security really that simple... When Tornado was sanctioned, it was already obvious that the stronger the privacy features, the faster the regulatory crackdown. Having higher throughput than Monero is useless; the key is whether it can survive the policy hurdles.

Finish quantum-secure private transactions by 2026? Sounds great, but I'm afraid it's just another PowerPoint pie-in-the-sky... Sui's move seems a bit rushed, probably forced by regulators. Speaking of which, Monero has been doing this for a long time. Why do people think newcomers can win? But throughput is definitely a strength. If they can truly combine privacy + speed, there might be some potential. Just don't want to set too high expectations; delays have become the norm in this circle haha

2026? Bro, I bet five bucks it will be pushed to 2027. I've seen too many tricks like Sui. Quantum computing threats sound impressive, but true commercial use is still ten years away. Regulatory issues are a more realistic threat here. The lessons from Tornado Cash are clear: the stronger the privacy features, the harsher the regulation. SUI might find it hard to please both sides. Throughput can definitely be a selling point, but the real test of technology implementation will be when it actually goes live. Currently, investments are all bets on the future. It depends on whether they can truly deliver on their promises, rather than just another round of PPT revolution.
