This decline reflects eroding market confidence as the community awaits updates from the Sui team.
Network outages of this magnitude can have far-reaching consequences, including disruptions in decentralized applications (dApps) running on the blockchain, delayed transactions, and diminished trust among developers and users.
For a platform like Sui, which competes with high-performing Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum and Solana, such incidents risk damaging its reputation and adoption prospects.
Shortly after, the team released an official statement stating that the problem had been identified and promising the community a deployment fix soon.
Service Announcement: The Sui network is currently experiencing an outage and not processing transactions. We’ve identified the issue and a fix will be deployed shortly. We appreciate your patience and will continue to provide updates.
The disruptions were attributed to the overwhelming demand for DOGS token minting.
The outage, lasting over four hours, was caused by a heavy load on the network, which processed around 20 million transactions in 48 hours.
Similarly, on February 7, the Solana network resumed operations following a five-hour outage. The disruption briefly caused the price of Solana’s native token, SOL, to dip before recovering to $95.41 then.
Solana, a proof-of-stake blockchain known for its non-EVM compatibility and growing DeFi ecosystem, has faced repeated outages, including 22 in 2022, raising concerns about its reliability.
The foundation clarified that no employees, Mysten Labs founders, or investors engaged in token sales that violated lockups or the circulating supply schedule.
Instead, the foundation attributed the token sales to an infrastructure partner operating under a vesting schedule, assuring that all lockups remain enforced by qualified custodians.
