\n

Leveraged traders betting on a price recovery got hit hardest when the Sui blockchain went down for the third time in under 48 hours. Data from CoinGlass shows that long positions accounted for $1.72 million of the $1.88 million in SUI liquidations recorded during the latest disruption.<\/p>\n

The Ripple Effect On Price<\/h2>\n

SUI<\/a> fell to $0.9035 on Binance following the third stall, extending a slide that has now reached roughly 8% since the trouble began on May 28. The $1.00 support level \u2014 one that held for much of 2024 \u2014 was broken during the selloff, with the token down around 16% over the past week.<\/p>\n

The third outage<\/a> hit during an epoch transition on May 29 at approximately 4:30 PM EDT. Validators were up and generating system transactions, but user transactions stopped flowing entirely.<\/p>\n

\n

Sui mainnet stopped accepting user transactions due to an issue during the epoch change beginning at ~1:30PT. Validators are up and creating system transactions, but user transactions are not currently being accepted. The Sui Core Team is investigating, and updates will be shared\u2026<\/p>\n

The Sui team later traced the failure to a latent bug in how a specific failure state is preserved across validator restarts, which prevented the network from completing its move to the next epoch.<\/p>\n

Validators deployed a fix addressing both the bug and the affected epoch, and the network came back online shortly after.<\/p>\n

Is this for real $SUI<\/a> ?<\/p>\n

After 2 major Outages and almost 10 hours of downtime, SUI faced a Partial Outage. This is the 3rd Outage in 2 days\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/pmMCYX7nnc<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GLsCqnfrBq<\/a><\/p>\n

How Three Outages Unfolded<\/h2>\n

The problems started on May 28 when a crash bug in the gas charging logic \u2014 introduced in version 1.72 of Sui\u2019s software \u2014 brought the mainnet to a halt for roughly five hours and 55 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n

Sui mainnet is back online and transactions are flowing normally.<\/p>\n

The end of epoch halt was triggered during the rollout of yesterday\u2019s long-term fix. As validators restarted to deploy the new binary, the randomness initialization that runs at the start of each epoch was unable\u2026<\/p>\n

No new checkpoints were recorded during that window. After more than two-thirds of the validator stake upgraded to a patched version, the network came back online on May 29 at around 8:32 PM UTC. No user funds were lost.<\/p>\n

Relief was brief. A second stall was reported hours later, around 12:19 PM UTC on May 29, with the status page flagging it as a major outage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Sui team acknowledged the interim fix had only addressed part of the problem, and the network hit a variation of the same underlying issue. Service resumed at around 11:34 AM EDT before the third and final disruption arrived that same afternoon.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate the root cause across all three outages connects back to changes in the gas charging logic introduced to support zero-fee stablecoin transfers on the network.<\/p>\n

A Pattern Worth Watching<\/p>\n

This is the third significant disruption Sui has faced in 2026 alone. A six-hour consensus divergence event struck in January, and a congestion-related outage hit in November 2024. The Sui team has said a detailed incident review is coming.<\/p>\n
