Harmony Protocol said an unauthorized ONE minting incident occurred on August 12. Initial analysis put the minting at 4000000000 ONE, but a later on-chain reconstruction found about 3010000000000 ONE was issued to four attacker wallets through six forged crossshard transactions. The team said it has fixed the crossshard receipt verification flaw and a quorum verification bug for the prestaking committee, and deployed Mainnet v2026.1.1 at 06:30 (UTC+8) on August 12. It is preparing to roll back the network to block 92,730,034 and has suspended bridge services.

Harmony said a CrossShard Receipt Replay bug allowed valid receipts to be processed multiple times, minting new tokens without corresponding deductions. The network initially confirmed 400 million ONE in unauthorized minting, while forged crossshard issuance totaled about 3.01 trillion ONE, with the team still verifying the data, according to Foresight News. Harmony said an emergency patch activated on August 12 fixed the issue and crosschain services have been paused. The team is coordinating with validators and exchanges on a rollback targeting block 92,730,034, with Shard 0 paused to support the operation.
