According to Foresight News , Alex Smirnov, co-founder of deBridge, has expressed concern about Flow's decision to roll back its blockchain state. He noted that while Flow claims to be in a synchronized window with key ecosystem partners such as cross-chain bridges, CEXs, and DEXs, deBridge, as one of Flow's main cross-chain bridges, has not received any communication or coordination from the Flow team. Smirnov stated that the economic losses from a hasty rollback could far exceed the initial security incident and could trigger systemic problems, affecting cross-chain bridges, custodians, users, and counterparties operating normally within the relevant timeframe. He highlighted potential issues such as doubling of balances and irrecoverable assets during cross-chain transactions, pointing out that several large cross-chain and custodial transactions have already been completed during the rollback window, including USDC transactions custodied by LayerZero.
Alex further compared this to previous similar incidents, such as BNB Chain, where the approach was more about isolating attackers rather than rolling back the global state. He urged Flow validators to suspend verification of the rollback chain until a clear remedial plan is in place, ecosystem coordination is completed, and security organizations are involved, in order to avoid irreversible consequences. He emphasized that the current situation requires transparency, collaboration, and restraint, rather than rapid and aggressive actions.
