Ravencoin Consensus Flaw Exploited, Major Miners Fork Chain at Height 4.48M

Critical Ravencoin vulnerability allows invalid blocks; top miners fork chain to exclude compromised branch, risking a three-day reorg and exchange suspensions.

Woofun AI reports that the Ravencoin network suffered a critical consensus exploit enabling vulnerable nodes to accept invalid blocks, with the first such block appearing at height 4,487,776. Dominant mining pools 2Miners and RavenMiner are now mining a separate chain starting from that height to exclude the compromised branch, a move that may trigger a chain reorganization lasting approximately three days.

Exchanges are advised to temporarily suspend RVN deposits and withdrawals until network stability is restored. Transactions confirmed after height 4,487,775 are deemed risky. This disclosure aims to improve transparency and risk awareness without endorsing any specific rollback or recovery strategy.
