The sui blockchain ecosystem faces a severe security crisis after Cetus Protocol, its largest decentralized exchange and liquidity provider, suffered an exploit resulting in over $200 million in losses. Attackers deployed "spoof tokens" to manipulate price curves and liquidity reserves, draining funds before the protocol locked vulnerable contracts.

Approximately $162 million of compromised assets have been frozen as Cetus engages in recovery negotiations. The breach underscores persistent vulnerabilities in DeFi infrastructure despite industry-wide security upgrades.
