🚨 SUI DROPS 10% AS MAINNET SUFFERS MAJOR NETWORK STALL
Sui’s mainnet experienced a prolonged outage, with transactions failing and dApps disrupted across the ecosystem.$SUI
📉 What happened:
• Network stalled for nearly 6 hours, per explorer data
• Transactions were not being processed
• dApps, wallets, and DeFi protocols were impacted
• User activity dropped sharply during the halt
⚠️ Market reaction:
• $SUI fell around 10% as confidence took a hit
• Volatility spiked as traders priced in technical risk
🧠 Why this matters:

🔍 What to watch next:
• Official post-mortem from the Sui team
• Root cause (consensus, validator, or software issue)
• Any rollback, patch, or network upgrade$SUI
• TVL and dApp usage recovery after restart
🔥 Big picture:
Downtime is a stress test. How fast Sui stabilizes—and how transparently it explains the failure—will shape market trust going forward.
