Sui Network Suffers Outage as Mainnet Stalls; SUI Price Flat

The Sui network is currently down, even as core developers work to find a fix for the outage. The SUI price is notably trading flat, which is against the broader crypto market trend, as Bitcoin leads today’s rally.

Sui Network Down For Over Two Hours

Sui explorer data shows that the network has been down for over two hours, with no blocks produced during this period. The team has also confirmed that the network has stalled.

In an X post, the Sui network stated that the mainnet is currently experiencing a network stall and that the Core team is actively working on a solution. The team warned that decentralized applications such as Slush or SuiScan may not be available and that transactions may be slow or temporarily unable to process at this time.

Sui stakeholder Reset also confirmed the network outage, noting that a validator consensus issue caused the network stall. They also mentioned that there are no critical risks to funds and that the team is actively resolving the issue, with delays likely to occur until normal operations resume.

This is notably the second major documented outage that the Sui network has suffered. The first was in November 2025, lasting just over 2 hours. Top layer-1 networks, such as Solana, have also experienced such outages in the past.

Price Trading Flat Amid Outage

TradingView data shows that the SUI price is trading flat amid the Sui network outage. The altcoin is trading at around $1.89, up less than 1%. It is worth noting that the token rose to as high as $1.92 on the day but is now trending lower following the outage.

The flat price action comes despite the crypto market rally, with Bitcoin leading the way, rallying to a new 2026 high above $97,000. However, the SUI price is still up over 30% year-to-date (YTD), making it one of the best-performing crypto assets this year.

Following the Sui network outage, crypto enthusiast 0xsubash remarked that price actions are no longer about technology if the token has good market makers. He noted that token prices used to drop significantly on this kind of news in the past.
