The Sui network has ceased block production for over two hours, leading to a sharp decline in the token’s price. Data from suivision and suiscan indicate that block generation stopped at 09:15 UTC today, and the network has yet to resume normal operations. This marks the first major outage for the project, a blockchain praised as “Solana killer.” SUI Price Crashes Following Network Outage Members of the community have suggested that issues with validators might be the cause of the disruption. Validators, critical for processing transactions and maintaining the blockchain’s integrity, appear to be experiencing problems. The official status page, status.sui.io, acknowledges the issue, stating that they are “continuing to investigate” and confirming that “validators are down.” Despite these updates, the development team has not released an official statement detailing the root cause or providing a timeline for resolution.

Blockchain security firm PeckShieldAlert confirmed the disruption, noting that the “Sui blockchain network appears to be experiencing delays, with reports indicating that the latest block has produced over an hour ago.” #PeckShieldAlert #Sui blockchain network appears to be experiencing delays, with reports indicating that the latest block was produced over an hour ago pic.twitter.com/KHFpmMqKxB — PeckShieldAlert (@PeckShieldAlert) November 21, 2024 The incident has sparked discussions on social media, with several crypto community members drawing parallels between Sui’s current situation and Solana’s past network outages. Crypto analyst Quinten Francois commented, “SUI has been down for 55 min, with no blocks produced during this period. SOL 2.0?” Similarly, WantCoinNews expressed interest in how the Sui community and developers will handle the downtime, stating that their response could “either destroy or strengthen the trust in the chain.” They added a personal note, saying, “Let me just ignore this Solana type FUD and look for entries. Minimum $5.” Ben Armstrong, known as BitBoy, weighed in on the matter: “It is with great pause, I declare SUI officially the next SOL. How many times do I have to say it? Can’t wait to hear from the team on this one. Solana has taught us that it’s way better for a blockchain to be overwhelmed than not used.” Related Reading: Aptos Following SUI’s Lead? Analyst Says APT’s ‘Explosive Breakout’ Targets $20 Following the news of the outage, the token’s price dropped by 7%. Over the last 24 hours, the SUI price has fallen by nearly 10%, reflecting investor concerns over the network’s reliability. Despite this setback, SUI remains one of the few altcoins to have reached a new all-time high in the current market cycle. The price dip brings the token to a critical support level at the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of $3.24. If this support holds, SUI could be poised for another upward movement, potentially targeting the 2.618 Fibonacci extension level at $4.97. At press time, SUI traded at $3.39.

A young crypto trader attempted to rug-pull a Solana-based memecoin on a live stream, but the crypto community joined to “teach him a lesson” by sending the token to an $80 million market cap. Related Reading: Bitcoin ‘Parabolic Phase Just Begun’, Is BTC Hitting $100,000 This Week? Solana-Based Memecoin Rug Pulled By 12-Year-Old As the market enters the rally’s second leg, Solana memecoins remain the cycle’s top narrative, and many traders continue to try to find and profit from the next big thing. However, scammers continue to attempt to take advantage of the memecoin frenzy. A Gen Z trader has made the headlights after trying to rug a Solana-based memecoin he created on a live stream. The 12-year-old trader has a crypto-dedicated X account and has previously shared his profits. On Monday, he posted a picture sharing he “just made $2k before school.” The next day, the young trader launched the Gen Z Quant (QUANT) token on the popular Solana-based launchpad, Pump.fun. While the token’s price rose, he expressed surprise before flipping the watchers. According to the on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain, the kid sold all his QUANT holdings, around 51 million tokens. The Gen Z trader got 128 Solana (SOL), worth $30,000, for the tokens, making a $29,600 profit in minutes. After the kid ended the live stream, the crypto community took over the Solana memecoin, sending the price toward the $0.08 mark as “revenge.” The token rose over 77,000% to a market capitalization of $82.3 million in the early hours of Wednesday before retracing toward the $50 million mark. As a result, the Gen Z trader’s holdings would have been worth around $4 million just a few hours after rug-pulling. Some crypto investors considered the takeover a “lesson for all of those who rug.” Meanwhile, others questioned the state of the community for it to be scammed by a child and argued that investors should not abandon the Solana memecoin “to prove a point.” The Rapid Fall Of QUANT Following the rug pull, the kid created another two memecoins, LUCY and SORRY, seemingly poking fun at the crypto community for his QUANT scheme. However, he sold these tokens for 103 SOL, worth $24,000 at the time of the report. The Gen Z trader’s scheme also resulted in several memecoins related to the event. However, some of the tokens were based on the kid and his family, who had their information doxxed online after the incident. Notably, a lucky trader managed to get a 2,141x return on his QUANT investment despite the rug pull. Lookonchain also reported on an investor who spent 2 SOL, valued at $462, to buy 18.89 million QUANT tokens. Related Reading: Aptos Following SUI’s Lead? Analyst Says APT’s ‘Explosive Breakout’ Targets $20 Three hours later, the crypto community had sent the token to its peak, driving his unrealized profits to nearly $1 million. The trader sold 3.71 million QUANT for 116 SOL, worth $27,000, and left 15.18 million QUANT, making an unrealized profit of $962,000 at the time of the report. Despite the takeover, the memecoin’s rally has significantly slowed throughout the day, falling 57% from its peak. As of this writing, the token trades at $0.035, with a market capitalization of $35.11 million. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
