Quick Take
- Cardano’s chain split in two on Nov. 21 after a malformed delegation transaction exploited a deserialization bug dating to 2022.
- Emergency patches were deployed within three hours, with the network converging through natural consensus by the next day.
- A developer claimed responsibility and apologized to the Cardano community on X, saying they were “dumb enough to rely on AI’s instructions” when attempting to test the damaging transaction.
- Founder Charles Hoskinson called the developer’s actions “absolutely personal” and claimed “the FBI is already involved.”
- An IOG employee said they resigned after Hoskinson involved the FBI to investigate the incident, citing concerns that future development mistakes could lead to legal consequences.
- The price of ADA dropped as much as 16% in the wake of the incident before rebounding slightly.

I bet there is a >50% he is lying. Charles is the Craig Wright of ETH world....he used to pretend he was in special forces before people busted him. Like Craig, he likes to LARP that he is constantly involved in super-secret gov programs...I remember seeing something years ago that people were pointing out he would talk about "seeing CCR in the 70s" implying he was much older than he actually is.... (CCR = Credence Clearwater Revival)
