THORChain’s 10 ETH refund error disrupts Binance hackers’ transfers

THORChain has suspended cryptocurrency swaps across 10 blockchain networks after an Ethereum transaction error triggered an emergency shutdown, temporarily disrupting transfers linked to the $6.3 billion Binance hack. THORChain suspended swaps on 10 blockchain networks after an Ethereum block reorganization caused an incorrect 10 ETH refund. The protocol's automatic solvency checker detected the missing funds and halted Ethereum swaps before node operators paused additional chains. THORChain said the recipient returned the extra 10 ETH, restoring the affected vault's balance. Chainalysis reported that the interruption temporarily delayed cross-chain transfers linked to the $6.3 billion Binance hack.
