Opinion: Flow's decision to roll back its blockchain without consulting its main bridging partners carries significant risks.

PANews reported on December 28th that Alex Smirnov, co-founder of deBridge, stated on the X platform that the Flow team has decided to roll back the blockchain and claims to be in a mandatory synchronization window with key ecosystem partners (bridges, centralized exchanges, and decentralized exchanges). As one of Flow's main bridging providers, deBridge has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team, potentially posing a significant risk. Smirnov stated that the economic losses from a hasty rollback could far exceed the impact of the original attack, and the rollback will introduce systemic issues affecting bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties who acted honestly during the affected window. Smirnov urged all Flow validators to stop validating transactions on the rollback chain until a clear compensation plan, coordination with ecosystem partners, and intervention from the security team are in place. Currently, RPC responses indicate that the Flow state has been rolled back, but no new transactions have been accepted.
