โฌ What Happened?
CETUS, the largest liquidity provider on the SUI blockchain, has confirmed a critical oracle bugโnot a hackโwas the cause behind sudden and significant LP losses.

โ The bug impacted how data was supplied to DeFi apps, triggering widespread mispricing and trading disruption.
โฌ Community Fallout
Many users claim to have lost 70โ80% of their LP funds. Frustration is growing, but CETUS has urged patience as their developers work on a fix.
โ The team emphasized itโs not an exploit, but a failure in oracle data feeds, which DeFi apps depend on.
โ Losses, while unintended, were realโand trust has been shaken.
โฌ Why It Matters for SUI
CETUS isnโt just any platformโitโs the backbone of liquidity on SUI.
