Odaily News: PoW blockchain Ravencoin stated that its network has a critical consensus vulnerability that has been exploited, allowing vulnerable nodes to accept invalid blocks. The first known invalid block appeared at block height 4,487,776. Currently, 2Miners and RavenMiner, which control the majority of hashrate, stated they are mining a chain starting from height 4,487,776 that excludes the exploited branch. If this chain becomes the dominant chain, it could lead to an approximately three-day deep chain reorganization. Ravencoin advises centralized exchanges to temporarily suspend RVN deposits and withdrawals until the network stabilizes; transactions confirmed after block height 4,487,775 should be considered at risk. Ravencoin also emphasized that this notice aims to enhance transparency and risk awareness and does not represent its support for any rollback or recovery plan.
