AlphaFi entered maintenance mode after certain borrow positions against ALPHA collateral on AlphaLend became substantially undercollateralised, leaving the protocol with bad debt. The Sui Foundation's security team flagged the positions, and the bad debt has been fully covered; the protocol is solvent and user funds are safe. Withdrawals remain open but new supplies, borrows and loans are blocked, and users are urged to unwind positions and withdraw. The WAL vault and ALPHA vault lock periods were removed, with instant withdrawals across SUI, WAL, DEEP and USDC strategies. Recovery of amounts owed is being pursued, and AlphaFi will exit the Sui ecosystem once the last user withdraws.
