According to Cointelegraph, THORChain node operators paused swaps involving assets on multiple networks as a result of a block reorganization bug. The affected networks included Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Tron. The pause was implemented by node operators to address the issue.
The timing of the halt coincided with ongoing efforts related to Binance hackers attempting to move funds through the network. The bug caused disruptions to normal swap functionality on the listed networks. No further technical details about the reorganization process or resolution steps were provided in the source material.
Node operators made the decision to stop swaps temporarily. The action aims to prevent potential misuse or errors linked to the identified bug. Binance hackers were reportedly slowed by the pause, consistent with the source description. No statements from THORChain officials, timelines for restoration, or impact assessments were included in the facts provided.
