Sui mainnet experienced an extended stall on 14 January that has left transactions and many dApps offline for nearly three hours as of this writing. The Sui team acknowledged the issue in a post on X, saying the network was “currently experiencing a network stall” and that core developers were actively working on a fix (X/Sui). The update warned that front-end services such as Slush and SuiScan could be inaccessible and that transactions may be delayed or fail until normal operations resume. On-chain telemetry from Sui explorers showed a string of stalled and system-level transactions, with repeated entries and unsuccessful attempts to finalize blocks. While some programmable transactions continued to appear, overall throughput plunged — a sign that validators were struggling to consistently agree on new blocks (Sui scanner). The outage was one of the most visible interruptions to hit Sui in recent months and came during a period of heightened scrutiny over the network’s performance amid rising activity. The stall arrives against a backdrop of recent recovery in Sui’s on-chain metrics. DeFiLlama data shows Sui’s total value locked (TVL) had climbed to roughly $1.05 billion on 14 January — its highest level in several weeks and up from about $900 million in late December (DeFiLlama). Decentralized exchange activity also rose, with daily DEX volume around $371 million on the same day, suggesting capital was flowing back into Sui-based DeFi despite broader market volatility. SUI’s market action had been showing renewed momentum prior to the disruption. On the 12-hour chart, the token traded near $1.90 — about a 4.7% intraday gain after bouncing from December lows near $1.40 — and trading volume had picked up (TradingView). Still, the rally remained fragile: SUI was trading well below November highs above $2.50, and the multi-week trend since October continued to show lower highs. The ongoing network stall adds a fresh element of uncertainty for short-term price dynamics, especially if the outage continues. The Sui team has not provided a firm timeline for full restoration, only promising updates as they become available. Until the network stabilizes, users and developers should expect irregular transaction processing and intermittent dApp availability.
