Zcash bug costs 18 THORChain node operators about 140 RUNE, users unaffected

  • —Slash hit bonds of 18 node operators, about 140 RUNE total
  • —User and vault funds were not affected
  • —Fix is bundled into the THORChain v3.21.0 release
  • —ZEC trading resumes after the NU6.3 upgrade around October 23
Why it matters: The incident shows THORChain software failures are absorbed by operator bonds rather than user funds, though the ZEC freeze still curbs liquidity.
