Second Major Outage Raises Questions for Sui

[johnblockbuster]

Wednesday’s incident marks the second major outage for Sui since its launch in May 2023, following a previous network failure in November 2024. Repeated downtime can be a concern for high-speed blockchains that position themselves as reliable infrastructure for DeFi, gaming, and real-time applications.

Comparisons have quickly surfaced with Solana, which faced similar instability in earlier years but has avoided a major network-wide outage for roughly the past 18 months. Solana’s improvements, including better validator coordination and emergency patching processes, highlight how operational resilience has become a key battleground among layer-1 networks.
