BlockBeats News, December 28, Alex Smirno, co-founder of deBridge, posted on X platform stating that the Flow team has decided to roll back the blockchain, claiming to be in a forced synchronization window with key ecosystem partners (bridges, centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges). As one of Flow’s main bridging providers, deBridge has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team, which may pose significant risks. Alex Smirnov indicated that the economic losses caused by a hasty chain rollback could far exceed the impact of the original attack, as a rollback introduces systemic issues, affecting bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties who acted honestly during the affected window. Alex Smirnov urged all Flow validators to stop validating transactions on the rolled-back chain until a clear compensation plan, coordination with ecosystem partners, and involvement of security teams are established. Currently, RPC responses show that Flow’s state has been rolled back, but it is not yet accepting new transactions.
