Sui Network released its first network outage analysis report, explaining that the issue was caused by a bug in its upgrade code. The bug was fixed within 2.5 hours, and the network outage took place on November 21, 2024, between 1:15 and 3:45 am PT. The report also stated that the rapid response from Sui’s validator operators is a testament to the strength of the Sui community.
The network experienced an outage due to a bug in congestion control code, which had been recently upgraded to improve shared object utilization. According to the report, the issue with the code was identified, and the fix was implemented through PR #20365. The update was then deployed to Mainnet in version 1.37.4 and to Testnet in version 1.38.1.
Sui’s efforts will focus on strengthening testing systems to prevent similar issues in the future. Additionally, improvements to build workflows will be made to fast track debug and release binaries, as a significant portion of the outage was due to delays in the release build process. SUI is currently trading at $3.64 after recording a 1.35% surge in the past day.
Its market cap also remains strong, standing at $10.37 billion, after the 24-hour market volume increased by 13.89% to $1.85 billion.
