Sui completes mainnet outage recovery

Layer 1 blockchain Sui (SUI) has resolved a mainnet outage, with transactions now processing normally, the project announced on its official X account. According to Sui, the disruption occurred yesterday during the deployment of a long-term fix. As validators restarted to deploy the new binary, a randomness initialization procedure required at the start of each epoch failed to complete because it demands a higher quorum threshold than the network's standard consensus mechanism. A subsequent bug in how the failed state was preserved prevented the network from advancing to the next epoch. Validators have since applied a patch addressing both the bug and the affected epoch, restoring normal network operations.
