šø Sui Network Experiences Two-Hour Crash After User Surge
Suiās blockchain cited their two-hour downtime due to a scheduling bug. This issue caused its validators to stop producing new blocks, leading to a temporary halt in network operations. Interestingly, the crash comes after the blockchain experienced a surge in active users. From November 7 to 19, their number of daily users jumped from 668,000 to 826,000.
The outage was met with mixed reactions from the community. Some were impressed with how quickly validators were able to nip the issue in the bud. In contrast, others had reasonable concern over the stability of the blockchain and their SUI investments.
š¬ āTwo hours of downtime for Sui Network? Thatās a massive red flag for a blockchain thatās supposed to be cutting-edge,ā one X user said.
Users were quick to draw parallels between Suiās outage and the similar situation Solanaās blockchain experienced in February. On the sixth of the month, Solana had an outage that lasted nearly five hours. Considering that Suiās blockchain was dubbed as the āSolana killerā for its stability, this recent outage may very well put that nickname in danger.
š¬ āSUI, the famed Solana killer, just had a 1-hour outage today. And contrary to what common sense may dictate, this is BULLISH!! Itās truly following the footsteps of the Blockchain its looking to replace. And we know how that went,ā another X user added.
Right before the outage, SUI was trading at approximately $3.70, falling to a steep decline of just $3.35 during the incident time. On its road back to recovery, it has nearly reached its pre-crash price, resting at $3.54 at press time.
