- Sui restored network operations after a five-hour stall, caused by a bug in its 1.72 software release.
- The outage froze transactions and prompted DeFi protocols to pause activity, although no user funds were reported lost or compromised.
- SUI token fell by more than 5% following the incident, marking the network's second major outage in 2026.
Activity on the Sui mainnet resumed late Thursday following a prolonged network stall, with the team confirming in an X post that block production and transaction processing are now back to normal.
The disruption, which lasted more than five hours, was traced to a crash bug in the network's gas charging logic introduced in the 1.72 software release. The issue brought activity on the Layer-1 blockchain to a halt, freezing transaction processing and checkpoint updates across the network.
