ChainCatcher news, ElizaOS founder Shaw posted on Farcaster stating: "X contacted me, claiming that we violated certain terms of service, including selling data and selling certain content by bypassing the API key. We have never done this, not in the past, and we will never do so in the future. They directly cited my open-source code as the reason for the ban------but that isn't even primarily code I wrote; it's just a patchwork of other open-source projects."Shaw wrote, "They said that if we pay $50,000 a month for an enterprise license, they would stop harassing us. Currently, we pay $1,000 a month for yellow label certification and $200 for developer licenses. Why would switching to an enterprise account change my rights to publish open-source code? This is blatant extortion and should not be legal. I do not want to be part of this system; it completely goes against my principles. I am considering whether to resort to legal action."Previous report, the official X account of ElizaOS @elizaOS and its founder Shaw's account @shawmakesmagic have both been frozen.

Non-overlapping transactions can be executed in parallel without conflict handling, and its unique transaction processing mechanism only requires consensus on shared objects, enabling high-performance operation.He also mentioned that Sui's gas fees are cheaper than most blockchains, with transaction costs dynamically adjusted based on the required computational resources. Fees are charged when storing new objects, and if the object is deleted later, 99% of the fee can be refunded.
