Sui Blockchain Restores Operations After Six-Hour Network Outage
Sui’s six-hour network outage exposed the challenges of balancing rapid blockchain innovation with reliability, triggering market volatility and renewed scrutiny of network resilience.
On May 28, Sui Blockchain experienced yet another significant disruption as a problem with its most recent 1.72 software update caused the network to halt generating blocks for almost six hours. The outage, which started at 2:30 p.m. UTC, sparked new questions about the dependability of Mysten Labs' layer-1 blockchain.
By around 8:30 p.m. UTC, validators had finally implemented a fix and resumed full operations. Although no user money was lost during the incident, the outage had an immediate impact on network activity and caused the market to react sharply, causing the SUI token to drop as much as 8% during the downtime.
