Suiet wallet API service will be terminated after November 14
Sui posted a reminder on November 11, 2026, that support for the Suiet wallet will end after November 14, and urged users to back up each account’s seed phrase or private key immediately and never share it with anyone. The official statement said users’ assets remain on the Sui chain, and they can continue using them by importing the accounts into another Sui wallet.
The Suiet team said in an announcement on its official website that it has decided to stop development and maintenance of the wallet, and that the API service will remain available until November 14, 2026, so users can complete the migration. Suiet is a self-custody wallet, and shutting it down will not transfer or delete on-chain assets, but after the API goes offline, the wallet may no longer reliably display balances, send transactions, or connect to applications. Suiet has no mobile app, and its Chrome Web Store extension will also be delisted soon.
The team reminded users to first confirm that the same address has been restored in the new wallet and that assets can be accessed before uninstalling or clearing Suiet data, while also checking the corresponding staking positions and assets stored in applications. Restoring an existing account itself will not move assets on-chain.

As one of the early self-custody wallets in the Sui ecosystem, Suiet is operated by an independent team and is not a direct product of the Sui Foundation. This announcement was reposted by Sui’s official account along with a reminder to users, showing the chain side stepping in to help with migration when a third-party wallet exits, in order to reduce the risk of interrupted access to user assets.
Under the self-custody model, private keys and seed phrases control on-chain addresses, while the wallet software is only an interface and API entry point. After the API goes offline, the backend service supporting balance display and transaction broadcasting is interrupted, but the on-chain state does not change. Similar situations have been seen when other third-party wallets on-chain shut down, such as some wallets in the Solana or Ethereum ecosystems; users can restore control of the same address by importing the seed phrase into an alternative wallet, such as Slush, without any on-chain transfer.
Unlike the closure of a centralized custodial wallet, this does not involve a transfer or liquidation of assets under custody; unlike a protocol-level upgrade, the impact is limited to the front-end entry point. Sui’s official account also cited Slush wallet migration guidance, indicating that other entry points in the ecosystem can take over.
For Sui users, this shutdown tests self-custody backup habits. Those who have not backed up will no longer be able to operate through the original interface after the API is taken offline, but the assets themselves can still be accessed by any wallet holding the correct keys. Indicators to watch include alternative wallet import volume during the migration window and subsequent changes in on-chain active addresses.

Shutting down a self-custody wallet does not transfer on-chain assets, but interface functions fail after the API is interrupted.
Users need to import their seed phrase into another wallet before the deadline and verify the address and staking positions.
When the chain side warns of a third-party wallet exit, access entry points shift from a single extension to multi-wallet compatibility.
