Sui said the system could charge funds before canceling a transaction, creating negative balances that caused validators to crash.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation said an interim fix helped bring the network back while the core team worked on a stronger solution. That temporary fix had a known low-probability issue that later caused another halt on Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The third outage came at the next scheduled epoch change.

Following the outages, Sui said validators have addressed the known gas-charging and randomness-state bugs, and network activity has resumed.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation also named better failure containment, stronger end-of-epoch handling, and more AI-assisted diagnostics as areas for future work.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sui said it has completed a major upgrade after three outages stopped its mainnet across two days, with the foundation saying known bugs have now been fixed.
