Monero's blockchain faced its most severe reorganization yet, with 118 transactions invalidated and a 36-minute rollback, raising concerns about network security and mining centralization.
On September 14, Monero experienced an 18-block reorganization, its deepest to date, rolling back 36 minutes of transaction history and invalidating 118 confirmed transactions. The reorg was triggered by Qubic, which now controls more than half of Monero's mining power. This attack has sparked discussions on Monero's network reliability and prompted calls for protective measures, including DNS checkpoints. Despite the attack, Monero's price rose to a two-month high before slightly dropping, indicating market resilience.
