deBridge co-founder: Flow's hasty rollback may trigger greater systemic risks.

2025-12-28 12:42

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Alex Smirnov, co-founder of deBridge, posted on the X platform that he has noticed the news regarding Flow's decision to roll back the blockchain state and expressed concern about the way this decision was implemented. Alex pointed out that although Flow officially stated it is in a synchronization window with key ecosystem partners such as bridges, CEXs, and DEXs, deBridge, as one of Flow's main cross-chain bridges, has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team.

Alex stated that the economic losses from a hasty rollback of the chain status could far exceed the initial security incident itself, and could trigger systemic problems, affecting cross-chain bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties operating normally within the relevant time window. He highlighted potential issues such as balances doubling and assets becoming unrecoverable during cross-chain transactions, and pointed out that several large cross-chain and custody transactions had already been completed during the rollback window, including USDC-related transactions custodied by LayerZero.

Alex further compared this to previous similar incidents, such as BNB Chain, where the approach was more about isolating attackers rather than rolling back the global state. He urged Flow validators to suspend verification of the rollback chain until a clear remedial plan is in place, ecosystem coordination is completed, and security organizations are involved, in order to avoid irreversible consequences. He emphasized that the current situation requires transparency, collaboration, and restraint, rather than rapid and aggressive actions.
