🚨The truth takes a turn! Was SUI hacked? In fact, it was not the mainnet that had an issue!

Recently, news about "SUI being hacked" has caused panic in the market, but the real target of the hacker attack was not the SUI mainnet itself, but rather a third-party DeFi project built on it - Cetus. It's like a store in a shopping mall being robbed while the entire building has no structural problems.

🔍Brief recap of the event:

Source of the attack: The vulnerability was found in Cetus's smart contract, not the SUI main protocol.

Stolen SUI tokens: Came from the liquidity pool voluntarily deposited by users, not from SUI's official or network funds.

Market misunderstanding: Although the protocol was not damaged, market sentiment affected the price of SUI tokens.

🛡SUI is taking action: Comprehensive upgrade of ecological security

To prevent similar incidents from happening again, the SUI team plans to implement the following reforms:

All new projects must pass third-party security audits before going live.

Establish a project risk rating and credit scoring system.

Implement a unified smart contract certification standard.

Strengthen ongoing monitoring and review of dApps within the ecosystem.

💡Why is this actually “an opportunity in crisis”?

Although the event triggered a short-term loss of trust, it also exposed the weaknesses in the auditing mechanisms within the SUI ecosystem. This incident has instead become a chance to promote systematic security reforms, and the future SUI may become stronger, more transparent, and safer as a result.

✅Conclusion:

The SUI mainnet did not have any issues; it was a project within its ecosystem that was affected;

The stolen tokens were due to operational incidents caused by contract vulnerabilities, not a failure of the underlying protocol;

Panic does not need to spread; rather, this is an opportunity to rebuild trust and strengthen the ecosystem.

SUI was not hacked; it simply cleaned up a vulnerability left by a "tenant."
