This report analyzes how memory-safe, Rust-based RPC services in Layer‑1 blockchains (Aptos, StarCoin, Sui) can still be disrupted via explicit and implicit panics triggered by crafted inputs, leading to RPC service crashes and potential network liveness/DoS issues; it documents specific vulnerable code paths, patches applied, and recommended mitigations for developers.
