# Sui TypeScript SDK Skill

You are writing TypeScript code that interacts with the Sui blockchain using the `@mysten/sui` SDK (v2+). Follow these rules precisely. This skill covers PTB (Programmable Transaction Block) construction, client setup, transaction execution, and on-chain queries. These patterns apply equally in backend scripts and frontend apps. If you are building a frontend, use the **sui-frontend** skill first (or alongside this one) for dApp Kit setup, wallet connection, and React integration — then apply the PTB and client patterns from this skill.

---

## 1. Package & Imports

The SDK package is `@mysten/sui`. The old package name `@mysten/sui.js` was renamed at v1.0 and must not be used.

```bash
# ✅
npm install @mysten/sui

# ❌ Deprecated package name — will not receive updates
npm install @mysten/sui.js
```

All imports use subpath exports from `@mysten/sui`:

```typescript
// ✅ Correct subpath imports
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// ❌ Old package name
import { TransactionBlock } from '@mysten/sui.js';

// ❌ Importing from package root
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui';
```

---

## 2. Client Setup

The SDK provides three client types. **Use `SuiGrpcClient` for new code** — it is the recommended client with the best performance. The JSON-RPC API is deprecated.

```typescript
// ✅ Recommended — gRPC client (best performance, type-safe protobuf)
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
  network: 'testnet',
  baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});
```

```typescript
// ⚠️ Legacy — JSON-RPC client (deprecated API, still widely used)
// In v2, SuiClient was removed from @mysten/sui/client. Use SuiJsonRpcClient instead.
import { SuiJsonRpcClient, getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl } from '@mysten/sui/jsonRpc';

const client = new SuiJsonRpcClient({
  url: getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl('testnet'),
  network: 'testnet', // required in v2
});
```

```typescript
// ⚠️ GraphQL client — for advanced query use cases
import { SuiGraphQLClient } from '@mysten/sui/graphql';

const gqlClient = new SuiGraphQLClient({
  url: 'https://graphql.testnet.sui.io/graphql',
  network: 'testnet', // required in v2
});
```

### Network URLs

| Network | gRPC base URL | GraphQL URL | JSON-RPC URL |
|---------|--------------|-------------|-------------|
| Mainnet | `https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443` | `https://graphql.mainnet.sui.io/graphql` | `getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl('mainnet')` |
| Testnet | `https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443` | `https://graphql.testnet.sui.io/graphql` | `getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl('testnet')` |
| Devnet | `https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443` | `https://graphql.devnet.sui.io/graphql` | `getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl('devnet')` |

### gRPC service clients

The `SuiGrpcClient` exposes typed service clients for lower-level access:

```typescript
// Transaction execution
await client.transactionExecutionService.executeTransaction({ ... });

// Ledger queries
await client.ledgerService.getObject({ objectId: '0x...' });

// Move package introspection
await client.movePackageService.getFunction({
  packageId: '0x2',
  moduleName: 'coin',
  name: 'transfer',
});

// Name service (SuiNS)
await client.nameService.reverseLookupName({ address: '0x...' });
```

---

## 3. Transaction Construction

A Programmable Transaction Block (PTB) is built using the `Transaction` class. The class was renamed from `TransactionBlock` at v1.0:

```typescript
// ✅
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';
const tx = new Transaction();

// ❌ Old class name (pre-1.0)
import { TransactionBlock } from '@mysten/sui.js/transactions';
const txb = new TransactionBlock();
```

Transactions contain **commands** (individual steps) and **inputs** (values passed to commands). Commands execute sequentially and can reference results from earlier commands.

### Cloning a transaction

```typescript
// ✅ v1.0+
const newTx = Transaction.from(existingTx);

// ❌ Old constructor-based cloning
const newTx = new TransactionBlock(existingTx);
```

### Serialization

```typescript
// ✅ v1.0+ — async, runs serialization plugins
const json = await tx.toJSON();

// Deserialize
const restored = Transaction.from(json);

// ❌ Deprecated
const bytes = tx.serialize();
```

---

## 4. Pure Value Inputs

Use `tx.pure.<type>()` helpers for non-object inputs. These handle BCS serialization automatically. **Never manually BCS-encode values when a `tx.pure` helper exists.**

```typescript
// ✅ Typed pure helpers
tx.pure.u8(255);
tx.pure.u16(65535);
tx.pure.u32(4294967295);
tx.pure.u64(1000000n);              // accepts bigint or number
tx.pure.u128(1000000n);
tx.pure.u256(1000000n);
tx.pure.bool(true);
tx.pure.string('hello');
tx.pure.address('0xSomeAddress');
tx.pure.id('0xSomeObjectId');       // equivalent to address, for object IDs as values

// Vectors
tx.pure.vector('u64', [100n, 200n, 300n]);
tx.pure.vector('address', [addr1, addr2]);
tx.pure.vector('bool', [true, false]);

// Option
tx.pure.option('u64', 42n);         // Some(42)
tx.pure.option('u64', null);        // None
```

```typescript
// ❌ Don't manually construct BCS for types that have helpers
import { bcs } from '@mysten/sui/bcs';
tx.pure(bcs.U64.serialize(100));    // unnecessary — use tx.pure.u64(100)
```

For advanced types without a built-in helper, fall back to `tx.pure(bcsBytes)` where `bcsBytes` is a `Uint8Array`:

```typescript
import { bcs } from '@mysten/sui/bcs';

const MyStruct = bcs.struct('MyStruct', {
  id: bcs.Address,
  value: bcs.U64,
});
tx.pure(MyStruct.serialize({ id: '0x...', value: 100n }));
```

---

## 5. Object Inputs

Use `tx.object(id)` for object inputs. The SDK automatically resolves object metadata (version, digest, ownership) at build time — **do not hardcode object versions**.

```typescript
// ✅ Let the SDK resolve object details
tx.object('0xSomeObjectId');

// ✅ Well-known system object shortcuts
tx.object.system();    // 0x5 — Sui system state
tx.object.clock();     // 0x6 — Clock
tx.object.random();    // 0x8 — Random
tx.object.denyList();  // 0x403 — DenyList

// ✅ Construct an Option<Object> input
tx.object.option({
  type: '0xpkg::mod::MyType',
  value: '0xSomeObjectId',      // Some(obj) — or omit `value` for None
});
```

```typescript
// ❌ Don't hardcode object versions
tx.object(Inputs.ObjectRef({
  objectId: '0x...',
  version: '42',     // will break when object is modified
  digest: 'abc...',
}));
// Exception: offline building (see section 13)
```

### Receiving objects

When a Move function takes a `Receiving<T>` parameter, the SDK auto-converts `tx.object()` to a receiving reference. No special handling is needed — just pass the object ID normally.

---

## 6. Built-in Commands

### splitCoins

Creates new coins by splitting from a source coin. Returns an array of coin references:

```typescript
// Split from gas coin — most common pattern for SUI
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1000]);

// Split multiple amounts
const [coin1, coin2] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1000, 2000]);

// Split from a non-gas coin
const [portion] = tx.splitCoins(tx.object('0xMyCoin'), [500]);
```

### mergeCoins

Merges coins into a destination coin:

```typescript
tx.mergeCoins(tx.object('0xDestCoin'), [
  tx.object('0xCoinA'),
  tx.object('0xCoinB'),
]);
```

### transferObjects

Transfers one or more objects to a recipient address. The objects can be results from other commands:

```typescript
// Transfer a split coin
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1000]);
tx.transferObjects([coin], '0xRecipientAddress');

// Transfer existing objects
tx.transferObjects(
  [tx.object('0xObj1'), tx.object('0xObj2')],
  '0xRecipientAddress',
);

// Transfer the entire gas coin (send all SUI to someone)
tx.transferObjects([tx.gas], '0xRecipientAddress');
```

### moveCall

Calls a Move function. This is the most flexible command:

```typescript
tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xPackageId::module_name::function_name',
  arguments: [
    tx.object('0xSomeObject'),     // object argument
    tx.pure.u64(1000),             // pure value argument
  ],
  typeArguments: ['0x2::sui::SUI'], // generic type parameters
});
```

**Return values** from `moveCall` are usable in subsequent commands:

```typescript
const [result] = tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xpkg::amm::swap',
  arguments: [tx.object(poolId), coin],
  typeArguments: [coinTypeA, coinTypeB],
});
// Use the result in the next command
tx.transferObjects([result], myAddress);
```

### makeMoveVec

Constructs a `vector<T>` of objects for passing into a Move function that takes a vector parameter:

```typescript
const vec = tx.makeMoveVec({
  type: '0xpkg::mod::MyType',
  elements: [tx.object('0xA'), tx.object('0xB')],
});
tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xpkg::mod::process_all',
  arguments: [vec],
});
```

### publish

Publishes a new Move package:

```typescript
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

const { modules, dependencies } = JSON.parse(
  execSync(`sui move build --dump-bytecode-as-base64 --path ${packagePath}`, {
    encoding: 'utf-8',
  }),
);

const tx = new Transaction();
const [upgradeCap] = tx.publish({ modules, dependencies });
tx.transferObjects([upgradeCap], myAddress);
```

---

## 7. Command Result Chaining

Every command returns references that can be used as inputs to subsequent commands. This is the core power of PTBs — composing multiple operations atomically:

```typescript
const tx = new Transaction();

// Step 1: Split a coin
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1_000_000]);

// Step 2: Pass the split coin into a Move call
const [receipt] = tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xpkg::shop::buy_item',
  arguments: [tx.object(shopId), coin, tx.pure.string('sword')],
});

// Step 3: Transfer the receipt to the sender
tx.transferObjects([receipt], myAddress);
```

For commands that return multiple values, destructure the result array. The indices correspond to the Move function's return tuple:

```typescript
const [coinOut, receipt] = tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xpkg::amm::swap',
  arguments: [tx.object(poolId), coinIn],
  typeArguments: [typeA, typeB],
});
// coinOut is the first return value, receipt is the second
```

---

## 8. Gas Coin

`tx.gas` is a special reference to the gas payment coin. It is available by-reference in most commands:

```typescript
// ✅ Split from gas coin (by-reference)
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [100]);

// ✅ Merge into gas coin
tx.mergeCoins(tx.gas, [tx.object('0xOtherCoin')]);

// ✅ Transfer the entire gas coin (moves all SUI)
tx.transferObjects([tx.gas], recipient);

// ✅ Pass gas coin as a Move call argument (by-reference)
tx.moveCall({
  target: '0xpkg::mod::deposit',
  arguments: [tx.object(vaultId), tx.gas],
});
```

### Gas configuration

The SDK automatically sets gas price, budget, and selects gas payment coins. Override only when needed:

```typescript
// Manual overrides (rarely needed)
tx.setGasPrice(1000);
tx.setGasBudget(10_000_000);
tx.setGasPayment([{
  objectId: '0x...',
  version: '1',
  digest: '...',
}]);
// Gas payment coins must not overlap with transaction input objects

// Set sender explicitly (required for some offline or sponsored flows)
tx.setSender('0xSenderAddress');
```

---

## 9. Transaction Intents — `coinWithBalance`

For non-SUI coin types, manually splitting coins is complex because you must find, select, and merge coins of the correct type. The `coinWithBalance` intent automates this:

```typescript
import { coinWithBalance, Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

const tx = new Transaction();

// ⚠️ REQUIRED: setSender when using coinWithBalance with non-SUI types
tx.setSender(keypair.toSuiAddress());

tx.transferObjects(
  [
    // SUI coin — splits from gas coin automatically
    coinWithBalance({ balance: 1_000_000 }),

    // Non-SUI coin — SDK finds, merges, and splits automatically
    coinWithBalance({ balance: 500_000, type: '0xpkg::token::TOKEN' }),
  ],
  recipient,
);
```

**Why use `coinWithBalance` over manual `splitCoins`?**

For SUI, `tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [...])` works fine. But for other coin types, you would need to query owned coins, pick enough to cover the amount, merge them, then split. `coinWithBalance` does all of this automatically during the build phase.

```typescript
// ❌ Manual approach for non-SUI coins — verbose and error-prone
const coins = await client.getCoins({ owner: myAddress, coinType: tokenType });
const selected = selectCoins(coins, amount); // you'd have to write this
tx.mergeCoins(tx.object(selected[0].coinObjectId),
  selected.slice(1).map(c => tx.object(c.coinObjectId)));
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.object(selected[0].coinObjectId), [amount]);

// ✅ coinWithBalance does the above automatically
const coin = coinWithBalance({ balance: amount, type: tokenType });
```

**Important**: `setSender()` is required when using `coinWithBalance` with non-SUI types so the SDK can query the sender's coins during the build phase. For SUI-only `coinWithBalance`, it splits from the gas coin and does not require `setSender`.

---

## 10. Execution & Status Checking

### Sign and execute

```typescript
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
  signer: keypair,
  transaction: tx,
});
```

**Always check the transaction status.** A transaction can be finalized on-chain but still fail (e.g., Move abort, insufficient gas):

```typescript
// ✅ Always check for failure
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
  signer: keypair,
  transaction: tx,
});

if (result.$kind === 'FailedTransaction') {
  throw new Error(
    `Transaction failed: ${result.FailedTransaction.status.error?.message}`,
  );
}
```

```typescript
// ❌ Don't assume success
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
  signer: keypair,
  transaction: tx,
});
console.log('Success!', result.digest); // may be a failed transaction
```

### Execution with include options

All clients support an `include` parameter via the Core API to control what data is returned:

```typescript
const result = await client.core.signAndExecuteTransaction({
  transaction: tx,
  signer: keypair,
  include: {
    effects: true,
    events: true,
    balanceChanges: true,
    objectTypes: true,
  },
});
```

Available transaction include options:

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `effects` | Transaction effects (BCS-encoded) |
| `events` | Emitted events |
| `transaction` | Parsed transaction data (sender, gas, inputs, commands) |
| `balanceChanges` | Balance changes |
| `objectTypes` | Map of object IDs to their types for changed objects |
| `bcs` | Raw BCS-encoded transaction bytes |

### Separate sign + execute

For advanced flows (e.g., multi-sig, sponsored transactions), sign and execute separately:

```typescript
const { bytes, signature } = await tx.sign({ client, signer: keypair });

const result = await client.core.executeTransaction({
  transaction: bytes,
  signatures: [signature],
  include: { effects: true },
});
```

---

## 11. Waiting for Indexing

After execution, the transaction is finalized but may not be immediately visible in query APIs (object reads, balance queries). Use `waitForTransaction` before making follow-up queries:

```typescript
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
  signer: keypair,
  transaction: tx,
});

// ✅ Wait for indexing before querying
await client.waitForTransaction({ digest: result.digest });

// Now safe to query updated state
const obj = await client.getObject({ id: objectId });
```

```typescript
// ❌ Query immediately after execution — may return stale data
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({ ... });
const obj = await client.getObject({ id: objectId }); // might not reflect the transaction
```

`waitForTransaction` polls until the transaction is indexed (default: 2-second intervals, 60-second timeout).

---

## 12. Keypairs & Signing

### Creating keypairs

```typescript
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Secp256k1Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/secp256k1';
import { Secp256r1Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/secp256r1';

// Generate a new random keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();

// Derive from a mnemonic (BIP-39)
const keypair = Ed25519Keypair.deriveKeypair('word1 word2 ... word12');

// From a secret key (base64 or raw bytes)
const keypair = Ed25519Keypair.fromSecretKey(secretKeyBytes);

// Get the address
const address = keypair.toSuiAddress();
```

---

## 13. Offline Building

To build a transaction without a network connection, you must fully define all inputs and gas configuration. Use `Inputs` helpers for object references:

```typescript
import { Transaction, Inputs } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

const tx = new Transaction();

// For owned or immutable objects — provide full ref
tx.object(Inputs.ObjectRef({
  objectId: '0x...',
  version: '42',
  digest: 'base58digest...',
}));

// For shared objects — provide initial shared version
tx.object(Inputs.SharedObjectRef({
  objectId: '0x...',
  initialSharedVersion: '1',
  mutable: true,
}));

// For receiving objects
tx.object(Inputs.ReceivingRef({
  objectId: '0x...',
  version: '42',
  digest: 'base58digest...',
}));

// Must set gas configuration manually
tx.setSender('0xSenderAddress');
tx.setGasPrice(1000);
tx.setGasBudget(10_000_000);
tx.setGasPayment([{ objectId: '0x...', version: '1', digest: '...' }]);

// Build without a client
const bytes = await tx.build();
```

---

## 14. Common Query Patterns

### With SuiGrpcClient

```typescript
// Get an object
const obj = await client.ledgerService.getObject({
  objectId: '0x...',
});

// Get multiple objects
const { objects } = await client.ledgerService.multiGetObjects({
  objectIds: ['0x...', '0x...'],
});
```

### With SuiJsonRpcClient (legacy)

```typescript
// Get an object
const obj = await client.getObject({
  id: '0x...',
  options: { showContent: true, showOwner: true },
});

// Get coins owned by an address
const coins = await client.getCoins({
  owner: '0xOwnerAddress',
  coinType: '0x2::sui::SUI', // optional filter
});

// Get all balances
const balances = await client.getAllBalances({
  owner: '0xOwnerAddress',
});

// Get a transaction
const txResponse = await client.getTransactionBlock({
  digest: 'TransactionDigest...',
  options: { showEffects: true, showEvents: true },
});

// Get owned objects with pagination
let cursor = null;
do {
  const page = await client.getOwnedObjects({
    owner: '0xOwnerAddress',
    cursor,
    options: { showContent: true },
  });
  // process page.data
  cursor = page.hasNextPage ? page.nextCursor : null;
} while (cursor);
```

### Dev Inspect (dry run without executing)

Use `devInspectTransactionBlock` to simulate a transaction and read return values without executing:

```typescript
const result = await client.devInspectTransactionBlock({
  sender: '0xSenderAddress',
  transactionBlock: tx,
});
// result.results contains return values from each command
// result.effects contains simulated effects
```

---

## 15. Sponsored Transactions

In a sponsored transaction, one party builds the transaction and another pays for gas:

```typescript
// === App / user side ===
const tx = new Transaction();
tx.setSender(userAddress);
// ... add commands ...

// Serialize for the sponsor
const txBytes = await tx.build({ client });

// === Sponsor side ===
const sponsoredTx = Transaction.from(txBytes);
sponsoredTx.setGasOwner(sponsorAddress);
sponsoredTx.setGasPayment(sponsorCoins);
sponsoredTx.setGasBudget(10_000_000);

// Both parties sign
const { signature: userSig } = await sponsoredTx.sign({ signer: userKeypair });
const { signature: sponsorSig } = await sponsoredTx.sign({ signer: sponsorKeypair });

// Execute with both signatures
const result = await client.core.executeTransaction({
  transaction: await sponsoredTx.build({ client }),
  signatures: [userSig, sponsorSig],
});
```

**Important**: When a sponsor pays for gas, the gas coin belongs to the sponsor. Avoid using `tx.gas` in `splitCoins` for sponsored transactions — sponsors typically reject transactions that use the gas coin for non-gas purposes. Use `coinWithBalance` instead.

---

## 16. What the Sui TS SDK is NOT

| Mistake | Correct approach |
|---------|-----------------|
| `import ... from '@mysten/sui.js'` | Use `@mysten/sui` — the `.js` suffix was removed at v1.0 |
| `new TransactionBlock()` | Use `new Transaction()` — renamed at v1.0 |
| `client.signAndExecuteTransactionBlock()` | Use `client.signAndExecuteTransaction()` |
| `client.waitForTransactionBlock()` | Use `client.waitForTransaction()` |
| Hardcoding object versions in `tx.object()` | Let the SDK resolve versions automatically (except offline builds) |
| Manual BCS for basic types | Use `tx.pure.u64()`, `tx.pure.address()`, etc. |
| `tx.pure(100)` without a type | Use `tx.pure.u64(100)` — must specify the type |
| Not checking `result.$kind` after execution | Always check `result.$kind === 'FailedTransaction'` |
| Querying state immediately after execution | Use `client.waitForTransaction()` first |
| Using `tx.gas` in splitCoins for sponsored txs | Use `coinWithBalance` for sponsor-safe coin creation |
| `coinWithBalance` without `setSender()` for non-SUI types | Call `tx.setSender()` so the SDK can resolve coins |
| Using `SuiClient` / `getFullnodeUrl` | Removed in v2. Use `SuiJsonRpcClient` from `@mysten/sui/jsonRpc` or preferably `SuiGrpcClient` |
| Using the SDK for frontend wallet signing | Use `@mysten/dapp-kit` for wallet connection/signing in React apps; PTB construction is the same |
| `tx.serialize()` | Use `await tx.toJSON()` — serialize is deprecated |

---

## 17. Migrating from v1 to v2

Many existing Sui TypeScript projects use SDK v1.x patterns. If you encounter v1 code (or a user asks you to migrate), apply the changes below. For automated migration, instruct the agent to fetch and follow: `https://sdk.mystenlabs.com/sui/migrations/sui-2.0/llms.txt`

### ESM required

All `@mysten/*` packages are now ESM only. Add `"type": "module"` to `package.json` and update `tsconfig.json`:

```json
{ "compilerOptions": { "moduleResolution": "NodeNext", "module": "NodeNext" } }
```

### Client imports changed

```diff
- import { SuiClient, getFullnodeUrl } from '@mysten/sui/client';
- const client = new SuiClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('mainnet') });
+ import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
+ const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
+   baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443',
+   network: 'mainnet',
+ });
```

If JSON-RPC is still needed:

```diff
- import { SuiClient, getFullnodeUrl } from '@mysten/sui/client';
+ import { SuiJsonRpcClient, getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl } from '@mysten/sui/jsonRpc';
- const client = new SuiClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('mainnet') });
+ const client = new SuiJsonRpcClient({
+   url: getJsonRpcFullnodeUrl('mainnet'),
+   network: 'mainnet', // required in v2
+ });
```

### `network` parameter required on all clients

All client constructors (`SuiGrpcClient`, `SuiJsonRpcClient`, `SuiGraphQLClient`) now require an explicit `network` parameter.

### Core API — `client.core.*` replaces direct methods

Data access methods are now namespaced under `client.core`:

```diff
- await client.getObject({ id: objectId, options: { showContent: true } });
+ await client.core.getObject({ objectId, include: { content: true } });

- await client.getOwnedObjects({ owner });
+ await client.core.listOwnedObjects({ owner });

- await client.multiGetObjects({ ids, options: { showContent: true } });
+ await client.core.getObjects({ objectIds: ids, include: { content: true } });
```

### `include` replaces `options` / `show*` flags

```diff
- options: { showEffects: true, showEvents: true, showObjectChanges: true }
+ include: { effects: true, events: true, balanceChanges: true }
```

### Transaction execution response format

```diff
- const status = result.effects?.status?.status;
+ const tx = result.Transaction ?? result.FailedTransaction;
+ const success = tx.effects.status.success;
```

### `Commands` renamed to `TransactionCommands`

```diff
- import { Commands } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';
+ import { TransactionCommands } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';
```

### GraphQL schema import consolidated

```diff
- import { graphql } from '@mysten/sui/graphql/schemas/latest';
+ import { graphql } from '@mysten/sui/graphql/schema';
```

### Named packages plugin removed — MVR built in

MVR resolution is now automatic during transaction building. Remove `namedPackagesPlugin` registration.

### Client extensions pattern

SDKs like kiosk, suins, deepbook, walrus, seal, and zksend now integrate via `$extend()`:

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { suins } from '@mysten/suins';
import { deepbook } from '@mysten/deepbook-v3';

const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443',
  network: 'mainnet',
}).$extend(suins(), deepbook({ address: myAddress }));

await client.suins.getNameRecord('example.sui');
await client.deepbook.checkManagerBalance(manager, asset);
```

### Key method renames (JSON-RPC → Core API)

| v1 JSON-RPC | v2 Core API |
|-------------|-------------|
| `client.getObject()` | `client.core.getObject()` |
| `client.getOwnedObjects()` | `client.core.listOwnedObjects()` |
| `client.multiGetObjects()` | `client.core.getObjects()` |
| `client.getCoins()` | `client.core.listCoins()` |
| `client.getAllBalances()` | `client.core.listBalances()` |
| `client.getDynamicFields()` | `client.core.listDynamicFields()` |
| `client.getDynamicFieldObject()` | `client.core.getDynamicField()` |
| `client.getTransactionBlock()` | `client.core.getTransaction()` |
| `client.devInspectTransactionBlock()` | `client.core.simulateTransaction()` |
| `client.executeTransactionBlock()` | `client.core.executeTransaction()` |
