According to Bijié Wǎng, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that zero-day vulnerabilities and chain outages are inevitable in blockchain systems, including Cardano. He made the remarks in a recent podcast episode, following a chain split on November 21 that exposed a long-standing vulnerability. Hoskinson emphasized that blockchain operates on complex software, making code flaws unavoidable. He praised Cardano's engineering team for its quick response to the incident and noted that the network had operated for over eight years before encountering a major security issue. The chain split temporarily divided the network into 'contaminated' and 'healthy' segments, but no downtime occurred. Major exchanges paused ADA deposits and withdrawals to protect users. Despite the incident, ADA's price has recovered, rising 2.4% to $0.43.
