Idea
sui.direct is not an original project idea. Decentralized version control systems have been developed since 2014. Even today, there are some open-source alternatives for Git repositories.
However, we believe that these solutions are not benefiting from new blockchain environments. Such as SUI blockchain and a decentralized storage solution built on SUI: Walrus.
Problem with Centralized Git Repository Hosting
Centralized version control platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket depend on a single organization to host and manage code repositories.
DMCA Takedowns: Projects can be removed or blocked due to copyright claims.
Unauthorized Use: Your code may be used without permission, such as for training AI models.
Mutable History: Commit history can be changed or deleted by the platform.
Single Network Dependency: If the platform goes down or restricts access, pulling & pushing may become unavailable.
How sui.direct Solves the Problem?
sui.direct stores your code on blockchain via Walrus, a protocol designed to store large files on-chain. Instead of pulling & pushing your repository from the database of a centralized hosting, you read it as blobs from the blockchain.
You don't even need to share your personal information to store your code. Everything runs anonymously and runs on the SUI blockchain.
