Ethereum Divided Over Onchain Rollback Decision

Ethereum Community Divided Over Rollback Proposal After Bybit Hack

• The Bybit hack resulted in a loss of $1.5 billion, surpassing previous major security breaches.
• BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes supports a blockchain rollback, referencing Ethereum’s 2016 hard fork.
• Samson Mow suggests renaming the current chain $ETHNK and endorses the rollback.
• Opponents argue that a rollback could damage Ethereum’s credibility and neutrality.
• Pseudonymous trader Borovik and Bitcoin proponent Jimmy Song oppose the rollback, citing differences from the DAO hack.

The Ethereum community is split over a proposed blockchain rollback following the Bybit hack, which saw $1.5 billion stolen. While some support reversing transactions to counteract North Korean hackers’ use of stolen assets, others warn it could harm Ethereum’s reputation and stability.
