Sui’s blockchain resumed normal activity after a network stall that halted 
transactions for roughly six hours on January 14, 2026. According to reports, 
validators identified the problem in the mid-afternoon and worked to roll out 
a fix that restored block creation and transaction processing later that 
evening. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s New Power Buyers: Companies Bought 3 Times 
What Miners Produced Outage Timeline And Recovery Based on reports, Sui’s team 
first flagged the issue at about 2:52 pm UTC when block production and 
checkpoint creation stopped. Validators applied changes and began bringing 
nodes back into sync. Service was reported as restored at about 8:44 pm UTC, a 
span of roughly five hours and 52 minutes from detection to recovery. During 
that interval, no new blocks were finalized and user activity stopped across 
wallets and decentralized apps. The Sui network is now back and fully 
operational. Transactions are flowing normally. If you are still seeing 
issues, please refresh your app or browser window. Thanks for your patience. 
We will share a full incident review in the coming days. Please check… — Sui 
(@SuiNetwork) January 14, 2026 Transactions Halted And Value Frozen The halt 
left a large amount of on-chain value inactive while the network was stalled. 
Reports indicate more than $1 billion in value was effectively frozen during 
the outage, though there were no signs of funds being stolen or altered. Users 
and apps that rely on the chain saw failed or queued transactions, and many 
dApps displayed errors until validators finished their updates. Cause, 
Response And Market Reaction Reports have disclosed that the problem was 
recorded as a consensus outage, meaning the mechanism used to agree on new 
blocks stopped finalizing. A full technical root-cause writeup has not yet 
been published. The Sui Foundation said an incident report will appear later 
with more detail. The SUI token showed modest movement during the event, 
trading around $1.80–$1.85 in the hours after the network came back, with a 
brief spike recorded on some exchanges as the news circulated. Past 
Interruptions And Context Sui launched mainnet in May 2023, and this outage 
follows previous incidents that raised similar questions about validator 
coordination and uptime. One earlier major disruption occurred in November 
2024, which also involved issues around consensus and validator operation. 
Developers who build on Sui said many of their services experienced 
interrupted user flows while the chain was stalled. Related Reading: Russia 
Drafts Bill That Could Change Who Can Buy Crypto Questions About Network 
Reliability Some community members and outside observers have asked how often 
such consensus stalls can happen and what measures will reduce future 
occurrences. Validators and the Sui team said they were focused on patching 
the immediate bug and improving monitoring so problems are detected faster. 
Based on reports, the foundation plans to share specific steps for validators 
and node operators in the upcoming post-mortem. Sui’s team has said 
transactions are flowing again and advised users to refresh wallets or apps if 
they still see problems. The network’s operators have promised more 
transparency with a formal incident report, which will be watched closely by 
developers, exchanges, and investors who depend on the chain’s steady 
operation. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
