$ZEC A critical vulnerability was discovered in the Orchard pool that could have enabled double-spend attacks. The team moved quickly with an emergency patch, and the issue has since been fixed.
What’s raising eyebrows is that the bug may have been present for nearly four years.
There’s no evidence it was ever exploited, but there’s also no definitive way to prove that it wasn’t.
The developers maintain that supply metrics remain consistent and that they’ve found no signs of abuse. Still, uncertainty tends to spread fast in crypto, and Crypto Twitter is already amplifying the story.
At this stage, the bigger concern may be trust rather than the technical flaw itself.
Definitely one to watch. If the market starts pricing in the possibility of undiscovered “ghost coins,” sentiment around $ZEC could get a lot more volatile.
