Sui network temporarily stalls again after Thursday's outageThe outage was caused by the same network update software bug that disrupted the protocol on Thursday, which resulted in nearly six hours of downtime.

The Sui layer-1 blockchain experienced a network stall on Friday, halting block production for over three and a half hours due to the same software bug in the 1.72 release that caused a nearly six-hour outage on Thursday. The issue stemmed from interactions involving address balances and gas charging logic, which triggered disruptions for Sui’s mainnet validators across both days. While an interim fix was applied after Thursday’s outage, a long-term solution has since been implemented by most validators to prevent further stalls. This incident follows previous major outages, including a consensus bug in January that also led to extended downtime but did not risk user funds.
