MultiversX halts network after VM-level attack

  • VM-level attack caused invalid state changes on the network
  • MultiversX network fully halted until the issue is resolved
  • Fix is being tested in a shadow fork before mainnet deployment
  • Users prohibited from depositing/withdrawing EGLD and ESDT via exchanges and bridges
Why it matters: The halt of an L1 network and risk of state loss is a blow to trust in MultiversX and its ecosystem; speed of recovery is critical.
