Industry Observers React To Sui Network Outage

Several industry observers have reacted to the project’s network outage. Many noted the project’s goal to be one of Solana’s biggest competitors.

“SUI blockchain is down,” said crypto YouTuber Ajay Kashyap on X, before adding,“ And they claimed to be a Solana Killer.” Many are also calling SUI “this cycle’s Solana,” referring to the numerous outages the Solana network has experienced in the past. 

“It is with great pause, I declare $SUI officially the next $SOL,” said Ben Armstrong, who was formerly known as BitBoy.

A few major crypto exchanges have also reacted to the outage by halting withdrawals and deposits via the Sui blockchain. Among these platforms is the South Korean platform Upbit.

Sui Team Says A Fix Will Be Deployed “Shortly”

The outage had a negative impact on the price of SUI, which dropped more than 4% to trade at $3.49 as of 8:03 a.m. EST. Despite this pullback, the crypto is still over 78% in the green on the monthly time frame. Meanwhile, Solana’s SOL gained 2%.

The project’s team recently responded to the outage on X, stating that the team has already identified the issue and will deploy a fix shortly.
