MultiversX mainnet resumed on Sept. 24, about five days after an attempted exploit involving a virtual-machine atomicity issue caused invalid state changes and halted network progression. A recovery upgrade restored block production, but the restart did not immediately normalize access for EGLD holders. Kraken kept EGLD in cancel-only trading, with deposits and withdrawals paused, meaning users could cancel existing orders but could not place new ones or execute trades. A coordinated chain halt freezes transfers, contract calls, deposits and withdrawals while validators establish a safe state, deploy patched software and confirm that blocks are finalizing normally. The full scope of the exploit, including any losses and its precise vector, had not been detailed in the primary reporting. MultiversX said some exchanges could require several more days to complete their own reviews, underscoring that technical recovery and exchange reopening are separate milestones governed partly by where users hold their EGLD.
