Opinion: Flow’s decision to roll back the blockchain was not communicated with major bridge partners or poses significant risks
PANews reported on December 28 that Alex Smirnov, co-founder of deBridge, posted on X that the Flow team has decided to roll back the blockchain and claimed to be in a forced synchronization window with key ecosystem partners (bridges, centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges). As one of the main bridge providers for Flow, deBridge has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team, which may pose significant risks. Alex Smirnov stated that the economic losses caused by a hasty chain rollback could far exceed the impact of the original attack, and the rollback would introduce 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, ecosystem partner coordination, and security team involvement are established. Currently, RPC responses show that Flow's state has been rolled back, but no new transactions have been accepted yet.
