anchored·sbsEot…hsrTSummary
On September 19, 2026, an actor exploited a virtual-machine-level atomicity flaw on the MultiversX mainnet, producing invalid on-chain state changes and forcing a network-wide block-production halt lasting approximately five days. MultiversX resumed mainnet operations on September 24 following a coordinated recovery upgrade, and the protocol reported no confirmed net loss of user funds; however, the attacker's wallets were identified and frozen with exchange assistance, multiple major exchanges restricted EGLD deposits, withdrawals, and trading, and EGLD declined roughly 8.7% during the halt. As of the investigation date (October 4, 2026), Upbit's formal review of whether to continue listing EGLD was scheduled for October 19–23, 2026.
