💥 AI-Generated Bug Causes Cardano Chain Split, But Here's the REAL Drama! 🤯
Cardano just weathered a temporary chain split after an ADA staking pool operator, "Homer J," used a "malformed" transaction—reportedly created with AI-generated code—that exploited an old bug. Homer J apologized, calling it a careless personal challenge.
But the real show is the community split! Was it a helpful bug-finder, or a "very serious felony"? Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is not amused, calling it an attack and comparing it to a cyberattack on a nation-state. He's so serious, the FBI is now investigating!
Here's the kicker: despite the network partition, concerns over "orphaned transactions" and potential ADA double-spends, the price of ADA barely flinched! It only saw a modest drop from $0.44 to around $0.40. Some users even joked that "nobody noticed the partition because nobody uses Cardano." Ouch!
It's a wild mix of open-source chaos, AI-meets-crypto vulnerability, and high-stakes law enforcement. This drama is far from over!
