$SUI experienced its first significant downtime, halting block production for two hours during an unprecedented surge in activity. The disruption was caused by a bug in transaction scheduling logic that led to validator crashes and a brief additional gap of 29 minutes. Despite this setback, the Sui team quickly resolved the issue with a patch, and the network resumed normal operations.
The incident raised concerns about its ability to handle rapid growth. The price of #SUI initially dipped to $3.35 but quickly rebounded to $3.64, demonstrating market resilience. Looking forward, Sui aims to improve its infrastructure and conduct stress testing to avoid similar incidents.
