CARDANO CHAIN SPLIT TRIGGERED BY MISFORMATTED DELEGATION TX ⚠️
Cardano experienced a chain split on Friday after a misformatted delegation transaction triggered a software bug.
Newer nodes accepted the transaction, while older versions rejected it, causing the network to fork.
Intersect says the “malicious” transaction exploited a vulnerability in a core library, creating a “poisoned” chain and a “healthy” chain.
ADA fell over 6% following the incident.
A user named Homer J. later took responsibility, saying he unintentionally recreated a “bad transaction” using AI-generated instructions.
No user funds were lost, and most retail wallets were unaffected. $ADA
