deBridge's Alex Smirnov challenges Flow's rollback plan after December exploit
On December 28, 2025, deBridge co-founder Alex Smirnov publicly criticized Flow's proposal to roll back its network state following a recent exploit. He warned that the rollback, which targets transactions between late December 26 and early December 27, could inflict greater financial harm than the original attack. Smirnov urged Flow validators to pause validation until there is a clear remediation plan and coordination with ecosystem partners, while the Flow team maintains that restoring to a pre-exploit checkpoint is the safest option.
