Cardano Chain Fork Due to Stake Pool Operator Error Does Not Result in User Fund Loss

2025.11.22 11:48:17

On November 22nd, as reported by Decrypt, the Cardano blockchain split into two chains on Friday. This was caused by a format error in a delegation transaction, which triggered a software bug. The transaction was validated on the new version nodes but rejected by the old version software, resulting in a network fork. The Cardano ecosystem governance organization Intersect stated in an incident report that this "toxic" transaction exploited a vulnerability in the underlying software library, splitting the network into a "poisoned" chain containing the transaction and a "healthy" chain without it. Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder, initially claimed that this was a "premeditated attack." However, later, a user named Homer J. publicly admitted responsibility, stating that their actions were negligent while trying to reproduce the "bad transaction" and relying on AI-generated instructions. The user stated that there was no malicious intent and no economic benefit was gained. Intersect confirmed that there was no loss of user funds, and most retail wallets were not affected. Due to this incident, the ADA token price dropped by more than 6%.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it struck a US aircraft carrier and destroyer.

The public relations department of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement that day, saying the IRGC Air Force launched multiple ballistic missiles to strike a U.S. aircraft carrier and a destroyer. The targeted U.S. warships had participated in maritime blockade operations against Iran and interfered with Iranian vessels. The statement added that the two U.S. warships were forced to withdraw from the conflict zone after sustaining losses. (Xinhua) Today, conflicts persist across multiple regions in the Middle East, with the U.S. military and IRGC sinking each other’s oil tankers.

Arbitrum and Solana co-founders clash over Robinhood’s on-chain fee model: Solana’s Toly questions frontends should not profit from network congestion, while Arbitrum’s Steven pushes back, stating they aim to act as landlords rather than tenants.

Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly have clashed over the fee model of Robinhood Chain. As an Ethereum layer-2 built on Arbitrum Orbit, Robinhood Chain allocates 10% of its net protocol revenue to the Arbitrum ecosystem: 8% to the DAO treasury and 2% to the development fund, with Robinhood retaining roughly 90% for itself. Recently, fees on Robinhood Chain have surged, with average per-transaction gas hitting around $0.4 at one point, and daily fees reaching millions of dollars—far higher than Solana’s typical ultra-low transaction costs. Solana co-founder Toly argues that the 10% split paid to Arbitrum is more than four times the equivalent transaction cost on Solana. If Robinhood Chain had been built on Solana, Robinhood could have offered users full gas waivers. Toly claims frontends should profit from their own apps, not from "network congestion-driven price hikes" on the underlying layer, calling Robinhood Chain’s model "brain dead." He asked Goldfeder: Why shouldn’t apps charge users directly? Does scaling and reducing congestion have to come at the cost of revenue? Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder countered that Toly’s view is "way off base." On Arbitrum, Robinhood keeps 90% of gas fees; on Solana, base layer fees go to validators or the network, so Robinhood would retain zero—meaning it would have to cover full gas waivers out of its own pocket. Goldfeder said Robinhood chose Arbitrum to act as a "landlord" rather than a "tenant," controlling its sequencer and keeping most fees for itself.
