Sui Builders Now to Run on AWS Blockchain Node Runners

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, July 23rd, 2024, Chainwire

 

Sui joins an exclusive list of AWS-integrated blockchains

Sui Foundation, the organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the layer 1 blockchain of the same name, today announced the integration of Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Blockchain Node Runners on Sui, providing developers with a self-managed node deployment solution.

Through this integration, builders on Sui will be able to easily set up and deploy Sui full nodes within the AWS environment, benefitting from the high availability, scalability, and reliability of AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure. AWS Blockchain Node Runners simplifies the process of running blockchain nodes, allowing users to easily deploy, scale, manage, and monitor secure blockchain nodes. As of today, Navi, a leading liquidity protocol, will be engaged as a Node Runner user to deploy full nodes on Sui.

Kathryn Van Nuys, Global Head of Startups in Specialized Segments at AWS, said, “AWS Blockchain Node Runners was designed to support builders at all stages of the application lifecycle, offering blueprints to meet specific requirements, from enhanced security and compliance to ease of deployment and monitoring. We are excited to bring these and other features to empower developers to deploy and manage Sui nodes on the AWS cloud.”

Node Runners offers several key technical advantages for deploying blockchain nodes. It provides validated, best-practice deployment templates for scalable node operations across multiple geographies. High availability is ensured through multi-node deployment options across different availability zones. The deployment code is fully open-source and available on GitHub, allowing users to review it before deployment. Integrated with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Node Runners helps organizations build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient node infrastructures. Full nodes on Sui validate on-chain activities such as transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes, as well as store the stake and history to better service client queries. By offloading query servicing from validator nodes, validators are able to focus on transaction processing and updates to the nodes when new transactions are completed.

Navi, a leading liquidity on Sui, is one of the first users to engage with Node Runners on Sui, and have deployed their first node via AWS’s service as of today.

As part of AWS and Sui Foundation’s commitment to empowering Sui builders, developers and startups who utilize AWS Blockchain Node Runners or are building on Sui may be eligible for up to $5,000 in Activate credits. Sui Foundation has also joined the AWS Web3 Provider program, which offers access to tools, resources, content, and credits to Sui developers

Henrik Johansson, Global Head of Community at Sui Foundation, said, “The integration of AWS Node Runners on Sui marks a pivotal advancement to enhancing blockchain infrastructure. Sui nodes are fundamental to the operation and accessibility of Sui. This integration with AWS not only provides developers with more tools to simplify node deployment but also financial support to utilize and develop on AWS.”

  • PHARMAGEST division: a contraction in earnings reflecting lower sales and reinforced teams in Europe (COI/Sales: 17.2%)

The decline in the Division's operating income is mainly attributable to a reduction in sales in France in the configuration and hardware segment. In a persistently challenging economic environment, the Division continued to focus its commercial strategy on acquiring new customers and regularly rolling out new software and hardware solutions.
Despite this, recurring revenues were bolstered by the combined contribution of new SaaS offerings and contract indexation.
To accelerate the deployment of solutions in Europe, the R&D and sales teams continued to be strengthened.

  • AXIGATE LINK division: the profit margin remains high (COI/Sales: 28.6%)

Strategic investments to support the roll-out of SaaS solutions such as TitanLink for Nursing Homes in Europe, and the extension of homecare services, have temporarily weighed on the Division's results.

  • E-CONNECT division: current operating income declined in response to lower sales (COI/Sales: 45.4%)

As previously reported, H1 2023 sales and earnings were boosted by the announced discontinuation of sales of Application Reader Terminals.
The downturn in business in the first half of 2024 thus reflected the corresponding decline in sales.
Despite this unfavourable environment, the Division demonstrated its ability to adapt by maintaining a healthy profit margin based on tight cost controls.

  • MEDICAL SOLUTIONS division: a year of transition between the Ségur digital healthcare investment programme and a new software solution (COI/Sales: -)

Preparations for the Division's future involving the development of a new software platform and optimising the sales organisation led to significant investments which, in conjunction with lower sales following the end of the Ségur programme roll-out, weighed on the Division's results. Recurring revenues rose 13.7%, resulting in a gross margin of 72.8%.

  • FINTECH division: efforts to stabilise the business paid off in H1, with an improvement in earnings of €0.3m (COI/Sales: -)

Consolidated balance sheet highlights

  • Cash flow after interest and tax maintained a positive trend at €20.8m.
  • Financial investments, through acquisitions as well as capital expenditures, in particular for the EQUASENS private healthcare cloud, continued, with more than €16.0m committed in H1.
  • The net financial surplus at 30/06/2024 of €87.9m takes into account a change in presentation of IFRS 16 lease liabilities and put options for minority shareholders of €10.8m (recognised under other liabilities versus financial liabilities previously).

2024 outlook

  • The Group maintains its forecast for a return to revenue growth starting in the second half of 2024, and an acceleration in 2025 driven by current investments and an economic climate that looks set to improve, particularly for pharmacies in France.
  • The Group will continue to invest in R&D, infrastructure and sales forces in France and Europe in the second half of 2024. And while this will have a temporary impact on profitability in 2024, it should generate a return on investment from 2025 onwards.
  • With a strategy focused on patients and interoperability, the Group is ideally positioned to seize opportunities for external growth in France and Europe.
