Development & Ecosystem
Ecosystem
You can now publish your Enoki Apps to Mainnet: Enoki users can now select a subscription tier (including a Free tier) that allows them to publish apps using zkLogin, Sponsored Transactions and the Sui Name Service (coming soon) to Sui Mainnet.
Simply sign into the portal, choose your desired tier, add a payment card and off you go! When you’re ready to publish your apps, you can do so directly in your portal. We encourage current users to update their plans within the next 60 days to avoid any interruptions in their Enoki service.
For questions regarding your subscription, reach out to enoki-support@mystenlabs.com. If you’d like support on building your app, please join the Mysten Labs Discord server and then join the dedicated Enoki channel here.
