Sui Restores Mainnet Operations After Second Outage Tied to Address Balances Bug

Sui said it has restored normal mainnet operations after a second outage that followed its May 29 disruption by less than 24 hours. The project said the original outage lasted 5 hours and 55 minutes and was caused by a bug in the gas charging logic introduced in version 1.72; it later clarified that the second outage was tied to interactions between the new Address Balances feature and that gas charging logic. Sui stated that validators deployed a long-term fix and that known issues connected to the original bug have been fully resolved, with a detailed incident report to follow. During the later incident, The Block reported that the network had not processed a block for nearly two hours. The repeated disruptions also affected infrastructure such as Walrus Protocol writes and weighed on SUI, which traded around $0.90 during the later stall, had earlier fallen about 8% during the prior outage, and was later described as one of the weakest-performing top 100 crypto assets over the past week.
