Multiple outlets report that the Sui blockchain is experiencing significant downtime, halting or slowing transactions for several hours. CoinDesk and Decrypt both describe the incident as another outage on the network, noting it is the second time this year that Sui has suffered an interruption. Decrypt adds that the disruption occurs just months after a prior downtime event, roughly five months after the network’s previous stall. The Block provides more detail on the timing and cause, stating the network was offline for about five hours and 55 minutes on Thursday. It attributes the outage to a bug in the blockchain’s latest 1.72 software release. Across the reports, the shared impact is that normal transaction processing is disrupted during the outage period. The sources do not present differing conclusions about the overall event, but they vary slightly in emphasis—some focusing on the recurrence and timing, and others on the specific release version and approximate duration reported for Thursday’s disruption.
