The Cardano community is experiencing moments of high tension after a temporary split in the chain was confirmed. Given the technical gravity of the situation and the volatility in the Cardano price, founder Charles Hoskinson calls the FBI to intervene legally. He described the event not as a simple technical accident, but as a deliberate and malicious attack against the network’s infrastructure.
The technical incident caused the network to simultaneously execute two different versions of the transaction history for several hours. Emergency patches were implemented in less than three hours to unify the operational chain globally. Meanwhile, user “Homer J” admitted to causing the catastrophic failure by following instructions from an artificial intelligence without performing prior tests in a safe testnet environment.
Is decentralized security vulnerable to human errors driven by AI?
The response from the top leadership transformed an apparent rookie mistake into a serious legal conflict. Hoskinson alleged that a known vulnerability was exploited intentionally, raising the incident’s profile. This aggressive stance provoked the immediate resignation of the developer known as “effectfully,” who expressed his concern about the legal risks programmers face, questioning the crisis management by the blockchain.
In the financial realm, the ADA token attempts to build a fragile accumulation zone between current levels. A clean break above the 0.42 dollar resistance level could signal strength towards 0.47 dollars in the short term. However, the RSI indicator at 43 reflects weak inertia that could drag the price towards the critical support of 0.35 dollars if panic persists.
Although the network demonstrated resilience by self-correcting under pressure, as noted by the Solana co-founder, federal intervention is worrying. While the market digests the news that Charles Hoskinson calls the FBI, the community debates intensely. It is questioned whether decentralization can coexist with threats of direct police intervention in the face of operational technical errors, defining the digital asset’s immediate future.
