Sui Network has resumed operations after a disruption that left its blockchain offline for nearly six hours on Thursday.
The Layer 1 network said the outage was caused by a bug introduced in its recent 1.72 update, which affected the gas-charging logic.
Recurring Network Issues
On X, the Sui team confirmed that mainnet activity had restarted and said a detailed incident report would be published in the coming days. During the outage, the project warned users that the network had stalled and that transactions were paused until a fix could be deployed.
The network’s status page shows the disruption lasted 5 hours and 55 minutes. While the blockchain has resumed processing, validators on the Sui mainnet are still listed as operating under “degraded performance.”
This outage is not the first for Sui. In January, the network experienced downtime that lasted more than six hours. Another disruption in November 2024 was attributed to a bug in transaction scheduling logic that caused validators to crash and halted transaction processing across the network.
Price Performance
Sui’s native token, SUI, briefly fell from $0.95 to $0.89 on Thursday during the disruption, but the drop was short-lived. The token has since stabilized and is trading near $0.925, representing about a 1.5% gain over the past 24 hours.
Earlier this month SUI rallied, briefly reaching nearly $1.40 in mid-May—its highest level since January. That surge followed Sui Group Holdings staking 108.7 million SUI tokens, removing nearly 3% of the circulating supply, and was bolstered by optimism around the planned launch of CME Group SUI futures and a partnership with African payments firm Paga. Despite the recent rebound, the token remains down roughly 17% over the past week amid broader weakness in the crypto market.
