Insight: Flow Rollback Blockchain Decision Made Without Key Bridge Partner Communication, Potential Economic Loss Far Exceeds Vulnerability Itself

BlockBeats News, December 28th, deBridge co-founder Alex Smirnov posted on the X platform, stating that the Flow team has decided to rollback the blockchain and claimed to be in a forced sync 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, posing significant risks. Alex Smirnov stated that the hasty chain rollback could result in far greater economic losses than the original attack and would introduce systemic issues affecting bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties who acted honestly during the affected window. Alex Smirnov urged all Flow validators to cease transaction validation on the rollback chain until clear compensation plans, ecosystem partner coordination, and security team intervention are established. Currently, RPC responses indicate that the Flow state has been rolled back but are not accepting new transactions.
