Suiet, a wallet in the Sui ecosystem, will stop development and maintenance, according to an announcement on its official website. The news was relayed on November 11 by PANews, a crypto news outlet that publishes in Chinese.
The wallet’s API service will remain available until November 14 and will stop after that date, the announcement says. The Suiet extension in the Chrome Web Store is also due to be removed in the near future, though no exact date has been given.
What stops working
According to Suiet, once the API goes offline, balance display, transactions and connections to apps may not work properly. The project stressed that users’ assets remain on the Sui chain and will not be transferred or deleted because of the shutdown.
In practical terms, the funds are held on the blockchain rather than by the wallet software. The interface used to view and move them is what is being retired.
Migration steps recommended by Suiet
Suiet advises users to back up the seed phrase or private key of every account and import them into another wallet that supports Sui. It also recommends checking addresses and assets, including staking positions, before uninstalling Suiet.
Seed phrases and private keys give full control over funds, so they should only be handled with great care and entered only in wallet software the user has verified as genuine. Shutdowns of this kind can attract impersonation attempts, which is a general risk rather than something reported in this case.
What is not known
The dossier leaves several points open. Suiet has not given a reason for the shutdown in the material available, and the exact date of the Chrome extension’s removal is unspecified. The number of affected users is unknown, as is whether other distribution channels or a successor wallet are planned.
The information comes from a single source, the project’s own announcement as relayed by PANews. No contradicting accounts were found.
