MWEB under fire: how Litecoin rolled back 13 blocks and survived
Zero-day, DoS on miners and a rollback of 13 blocks. Litecoin went through a baptism of fire that would have taken down 90% of networks. The price is holding. For how long?
April 25th was a heart-stopper — MimbleWimble Extension Block. Vulnerability: invalid MWEB transactions, exposure on DEX, profit taking. Nodes on old software didn't see the issue. Meanwhile, a DoS attack on mining pools. The calculation: blind the miners, dump the yield through cross-chain. NEAR Intents — exposure of ~$600K.
Honest miners raised the alarm. Rollback of 13 blocks: #3095930 to #3095943. Fork window — 3+ hours (norm: 30 minutes). All legitimate transactions were restored, invalid ones were tossed. The patch has been deployed.
Market: $55.84–56.13, –0.5%. We’re holding. But there’s a reputational hit. Competitors (Beam, Grin) hint: MimbleWimble on PoW is tough. The eternal question: “So, can a blockchain be rolled back?”
Answer: no user lost funds outside of DEX. PoW demonstrated why honest miners are essential. Ethereum Classic and 51% attacks — there, reorg was a heist, here — it was protection.
What’s next? MWEB is alive. But a zero-day was found once — they’ll find another. Without an audit at the $250K+ level, we anticipate a sequel.
The network withstood. The market might not forgive a second show like this.
