🚨 Cardano Survives Temporary Chain Split Due to “Poisoned” Transaction!

Yesterday, November 21, 2025, the Cardano network experienced a rare incident: a malformed delegation transaction activated an old bug in nodes, splitting the blockchain into two branches.

SPO under the nickname Homer J admitted that it was him — an “experiment” with AI-generated code that got out of control. Apologized, says no malicious intent.

Charles Hoskinson: It was a deliberate attack, FBI is already investigating. “These are not toys — this affects millions of people!”

The network quickly recovered after the node update (v10.5.3), no one lost funds. $ADA fell by ~6-10% (from ~$0.44 to $0.40), but the market hardly noticed.
