The Sui Network, often compared to Solana for its speed and scalability, faced its first significant outage on Thursday, causing a two-hour halt in transactions.
The issue stemmed from a bug in the network’s transaction scheduling logic, preventing validators from producing new blocks.
The Sui network is back up and processing transactions again, thanks to swift work from the incredible community of Sui validators.
