Sui developers complain about foundation communication and app support

  • —JSON-RPC on foundation full nodes was disabled in the week of July 27, 2026, with full removal due in mid-October
  • —Mysten Labs announced the shift to gRPC and GraphQL in July 2025, giving advance notice of the timeline
  • —Developer Chen cited third-party GitHub data showing 600+ independent and 180+ full-time developers, down about 55% year on year
  • —Mysten Labs co-founder Sam Blackshear said on August 5 he is moving to Anthropic
Why it matters: The dispute highlights infrastructure-migration risk for wallets and dApps on Sui, though the scale of any developer exodus remains unverified.
