Sui Network is back online after a nearly six-hour outage on Thursday, which it attributed to a bug introduced by an update, marking the layer-1 blockchain’s second period of downtime in 2026.
Sui posted to X on Thursday that activity on its mainnet had resumed after “a halt due to a crash bug in the gas charging logic introduced by the 1.72 release. A full incident review will be shared in the coming days.”
Sui had earlier shared that the blockchain was “experiencing a network stall” and said that transactions could be paused until a fix is rolled out. The outage lasted 5 hours and 55 minutes, according to the network’s status indicator. Sui mainnet validators are still listed as having “degraded performance.”
Sui is the 13th-largest blockchain by total value locked at $542 million and hosts 137 protocols, according to analytics platform DefiLlama.
The Sui (SUI) token dropped around 6.6% to a low of $.90 during the outage, it has since recovered slightly and was trading around $0.9167 as of Friday.
