Sui Network Goes Down for Second Day in a Row

The Sui layer-1 blockchain experienced another disruption on Friday, causing a “network stall” that temporarily halted block production before normal activity resumed. Network activity “may be paused,” the Sui team said. The disruption lasted for over three hours and 30 minutes at the time of publication, per the Sui network’s uptime dashboard; the last block before the halt was produced at about 11:51 UTC and mainnet activity resumed at about 3:30 UTC.

Mainnet validators experienced disruptions on both Thursday and Friday. The Sui team said in an update: “Both today’s and yesterday’s halts are due to the interaction of the 1.72 release, which introduced address balances and gas charging logic. Yesterday’s implemented fix was an interim measure designed to restore functionality to the network.” Thursday’s outage caused a nearly six-hour halt and was traced to a “crash bug in the gas charging logic,” the team said, marking the second major network disruption in 2026.
