Sui Network faces 'major outage' as validators go down
Quick Take Sui Network has been down for nearly two hours. The team appears to be investigating the issue.

The Sui Network's status page confirms a "major outage," with validators down, and states that the team is investigating the issue. Neither Mysten Labs nor the Sui Foundation has officially commented on the outage yet.
Blockchain outages typically result in failed transactions and an inability to access decentralized applications running on the affected network.

Mysten Labs has raised a total of $336 million in funding to date and is backed by high-profile investors, including a16z Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs and Circle Ventures. The company was valued at over $2 billion in 2022 following its $300 million Series B round.
