If $CETUS , a DEX built on the $SUI Network, was targeted or exploited by hackers, does that mean the underlying Sui Network itself is insecure?
Here’s a breakdown:
CETUS is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that runs on the Sui blockchain. It's like an app running on an operating system.
Sui Network is the Layer 1 blockchain that provides the infrastructure for apps like CETUS.
So, if CETUS was hacked, the cause could be:
A smart contract vulnerability in CETUS itself
A frontend attack (like DNS hijack or phishing)
Poor key management by CETUS developers
Or, less commonly, a vulnerability in the Sui Network
2. What This Means for Sui’s Security
If the breach was isolated to CETUS's own code and smart contracts, Sui itself is likely still secure.
If the attack exploited a flaw in Sui's protocol or execution layer, that’s more serious—but there’s no evidence of this (as of now).
3. What You Should Do
Monitor official communications from Sui Network, Mysten Labs, and CETUS.
Avoid interacting with affected contracts or interfaces until a full post-mortem is released.
If you hold tokens on Sui, consider using cold storage or verified wallets.
