  • The Sui network recently suffered an outage.
  • The downtime triggered user frustration and a token price dip.
  • Sui has addressed its community.

Layer-1 blockchain Sui has emerged as one of the year’s rising stars, celebrated for its strong performance and fast- expanding ecosystem. Just over a year since its launch, the network has established itself among the top-performing blockchains, maintaining a solid streak of growth throughout the year.

However, a recent glitch on the network has put a damper on its track record.

Lights Out on Sui

The Sui blockchain experienced a significant disruption on Thursday, November 21, 2024, when block production abruptly ceased, plunging the network into a blackout.

Sui’s outage, which marked the first major one on the network since launch, commenced around 9:15 am UTC, lasting nearly two hours. This sparked widespread frustration across the community, with several users voicing concerns that the incident undermines the network’s reliability.

The blockchain’s native token took a hit in the immediate aftermath of the disruption, suffering  a 5% price slip within a brief period. Additionally, the blackout led to service disruptions on various platforms, including the South Korean exchange Upbit, which temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals due to the downtime.

In response to mounting concerns, Sui’s team issued a public address to provide clarity and updates on the situation.

Sui Network Addresses Outage 

About an hour after the issue began, the Sui network took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the situation. The team acknowledged the problem, assuring the community that they had identified the issue and deployed a fix.

Explaining the root cause of the two-hour long downtime, the network stated that the outage was caused by a bug in transaction scheduling logic, which triggered a crash in its validators.

The Sui network is back up and processing transactions again, thanks to swift work from the incredible community of Sui validators.

Following the fix, the Sui network announced the full resumption of services, emphasizing that the chain was is again operational and processing transactions as normal.

On the Flipside

  • Sui has been touted as a better version of Solana , a blockchain known for notorious outages . Ironically, this recent glitch now puts both blockchains in the same boat.
  • The native token SUI has managed to slightly recover, trading at $3.58 at press time.

Why This Matters

Network outages can cause significant disruptions, undermining trust among users who rely on the system. Sui’s outage serves as a reminder that stability and reliability are non-negotiable in blockchain networks to ensure a secure and dependable experience for users.
