Mysten Labs CPO Eman Abio Criticizes Gas Fees, Teases Free Sui Payments SDK in 2026

On May 25, 2026, Mysten Labs co-founder and CPO Eman Abio said the gas-fee market is a flawed pricing model for crypto, arguing it forces unrelated activities to compete for the same scarce resource. He pointed to a Stripe projection that an AI-agent-driven internet may need 1 billion transactions per second, far beyond current chain capacity, while stating Sui plans to ship a free payments SDK this year to support agentic on-chain payments without restrictions.
