Sui, the 31st-largest cryptocurrency by market value, said its mainnet is processing transactions again after two halts in two days knocked the Layer 1 blockchain offline, with validators rolling out what the team described as a long-term fix.
Activity resumed and transactions are "flowing normally," Sui said in a post on X on Friday. The first stall, on Thursday, lasted close to six hours, according to the network's status page. A second halt hit Friday morning after an interim patch relapsed. SUI fell roughly 5% over the past 24 hours to around $0.92, according to data from CoinGecko.
The repeated downtime cuts against Sui's pitch as a high-speed network built to handle financial transactions at scale. It marks the chain's second major outage of 2026 and renews questions about reliability that have dogged faster Layer 1s, most notably Solana, which suffered a string of stoppages in earlier years.
