Seal Officially Launches on the Sui Testnet

Mysten Labs' latest product Seal is a decentralized cryptographic management service that provides asymmetric encryption security, suitable for integration into various scenarios and applications. Seal combines on-chain access policies with off-chain services for key generation and decryption, enabling content encryption while ensuring authorized users can access the encrypted content.
Seal has launched on the Sui testnet for developers to familiarize themselves with the system and explore integration with their own applications.
Despite the substantial amount of data on-chain that requires security protection, existing solutions are often specific to certain scenarios (such as wallet services) or rely on Web2 (like AWS KMS and GCP Cloud KMS). Seal provides developers with a more universal, secure, scalable, and high-performance solution, suitable for data access control for almost any storage location.
Seal Architecture Components
The Seal architecture uses off-chain backend services to generate identity-based decryption keys and provides corresponding public keys for encryption. Applications can choose t-out-of-n backend services as part of the threshold encryption mechanism. Users interact with the backend services using the Seal SDK, decrypting content on the client side with their identity key.
The Seal client works in conjunction with the on-chain Seal policy, where policies are defined and managed in the Move language on Sui, used to establish access structures. These on-chain policies can be configured with various rules to suit various use cases.
Use Cases
Builders developing with Seal can integrate its flexible security architecture into their applications in various ways. Here are some examples demonstrating how Seal can protect sensitive data securely and scalably:
· Protecting personal data on Walrus or other storage infrastructure to ensure only the uploader can access it.
· Using time-locked encryption to transfer ownership of NFTs or other assets to another user within a specific time window.
· Storing encrypted content on Walrus or other storage infrastructure and controlling access for specific users through a whitelist.
· Publish premium content in a content subscription app, allowing access only to verified subscription users.
· Develop a chat application that supports end-to-end encrypted private messaging based on Sui and Walrus.
Developers interested in exploring real-world applications can check out this marketplace app (code) that showcases access control features based on whitelisting and subscription mechanisms using Sui, Walrus, and Seal.
Built for Security
The initial testnet release of Seal focuses on providing an end-to-end user experience for developers and users. This release is not only available for comprehensive testing of Seal's core features but also aims to gather community feedback to ensure that Seal's operations truly serve user needs.
This feedback will also determine the future development direction of Seal, with several features already identified to further enhance its usability. Potential future developments for Seal include:
· Multi-Party Computation (MPC): Allowing a multi-party computation committee to use a t-out-of-n distributed key to operate Seal's backend services.
· Server-Side Encryption: As an alternative to client-side encryption, allowing Seal's backend to perform data decryption, enabling developers to build lighter front ends.
· Digital Rights Management (DRM): Performing decryption in a secure trusted client environment to enable DRM functionality, similar to mainstream platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and HBO.
Developers interested in Seal can refer to the official documentation to start exploring its SDK and deploy applications based on the testnet.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
