Sui recently experienced a major technical outage that temporarily stopped the network from creating new blocks for almost two hours on Thursday. During this disruption, transactions across the blockchain were paused because the system responsible for validating and processing data was not functioning properly. Monitoring platform NS3.AI detected the issue and reported that block production had completely stalled.
By 07:36 PDT, the development team had successfully identified the root cause of the problem and began deploying a fix to restore normal network operations. Although the interruption affected transaction processing and overall network activity for a short period, there were no indications of lost or compromised user funds. The incident mainly highlighted a temporary operational failure rather than a security breach, and the team reassured users that assets on the network remained safe throughout the outage.
