Pro Tipp: TR Wechselkurz ist definitiv der beste. Wenn du hohe Staking Erträge haben willst, transferiere deine ADAs in eine Wallet wie ETERNL oder VESPR und delegiere zu einem Pool der knapp unter eine Mio ADA hat. Garantiert beste Erträge.
Je mehr ADA in einem Pool ist, desto mehr musst du mit anderen die Rewards teilen.
Hoffe das ist verständlich..

Buying stuff, and people actually use it for this. When is the last time anyone used ADA for anything? Not me.

I find the timing of this story weird. Maybe it's a coincidence, but just days prior to this, all of the attention was on Cardano's stable coins depegging, which reignited discussion and fingerpointing over the fact that Emergo and Cardano Foundation still haven't gotten USDC or USDT on Cardano. Charles said in a tweet that he's not responsible for getting a stablecoin on Cardano, and says it's the Foundations job.
Then this exploit happens and all entities supposedly come together for the chain and its holders, which I guess eased concerns that they're incapable of working together. Hooray. Maybe \*\*this\*\* \*\*time\*\* they're serious on getting things done? No need to talk about stablecoins, guys! Look what Cardano just did! Just ignore that ADA is way lower than 2017/2018 peak! The whole thing is weird to me.

By Charles' logic, if a bug in Cardano ever causes U. S. users to lose ADA, those users can also use the FBI and/or sue in U. S. civil courts to get their money back from Cardano eco system.
It seems CH is cherry picking what part of the government is corrupt. Basically he says "we need Cardano because governments are corrupt but we need that same government to protect Cardano".

I don’t dispute that “edge case in node implementation” is technically valid language. My concern is how it’s being used rhetorically as a way to downplay a legitimate systemic vulnerability while simultaneously escalating it to a law enforcement matter.

Yes, intent matters. Exploiting a vulnerability can be illegal if malicious intent and concrete harm are demonstrably proven, but unusual behavior alone is not evidence of criminal motive. Otherwise, any stress test, edge-case interaction, or unconventional use becomes prosecutable by default, which is a dangerous precedent for open networks.
The phrase “with the purpose to cause harm” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, and that’s exactly the issue. You’re asserting intent as fact, not demonstrating it. Crafting a non-standard or malformed transaction does not inherently prove malicious intent, it proves technical knowledge and experimental interaction with the protocol. In decentralized systems, adversarial input is not an anomaly; it’s an expected condition that the protocol should be resilient against. Resilience is the responsibility of the protocol, not something enforced retroactively through criminalization. Otherwise, every vulnerability discovered through live testing becomes a prosecutable offense by default.
My price analogy of ADA sellers was simply a response to the idea that the person must be pursued by law enforcement because of an assumption to cause the price of ADA to go down. Market impact is not proof of criminality. If causing negative price movement were grounds for prosecution, then every large seller, short position, or panic trader would be a criminal.
I’m glad this technical issue has been resolved, but using law enforcement to pursue someone who interacted with the system exactly as it was technically designed seems excessive. It creates the impression of a retaliatory move aimed at reputational damage control rather than an acknowledgment of a design failure and an effort to strengthen the protocol accordingly. That is not how resilient decentralized systems should respond to their own shortcomings.

Yes, owned software, operated by legal parties. A decentralized public chain has possibly no legal ownership. Without a damaged party in legal sense, this will be more like a mass consumer case. The on-chain constitution might provide some backing here but I'd be surprised if any court will accept it. The "ADA holders" are no legal entity. They could join a massive case together. But I don't think it will fly if one tries to uphold decentralization and then let some centralized entity represent all the legalities. Just my opinion though. I believe a lot of this is uncharted territory. A nice trial case!

Hello there! Thank you for reaching out to us on Reddit. We are here to help you out. As of right now, there is no specific timeframe regarding the ADA network and withdrawals have been paused to prevent assets from getting stuck in processing and/or loss of funds. Rest assured, our team is working on it with due diligence. Withdrawals for this asset will be resumed shortly. You can use this link to set a reminder so that when the servers are optimal again, you will receive a notification https://www.binance.com/en/network. Thank you. \^AE

who called ADA the n°1 blockchain lol

So ADA is centralised, if they can just patch it and merge the chains?

Cardano (ADA) & Self-Healing | Cardano Rumor Rundown #744 - Army of Spies

tldr; On November 21, 2025, the Cardano blockchain experienced a split due to a malformed transaction caused by a fault in its core software library. This led to the creation of two separate chains, though user funds were unaffected. The incident was traced to a staking pool operator, Homer J., who admitted to testing a faulty transaction out of curiosity. Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson labeled it a premeditated attack, and the FBI is reportedly involved in the investigation. Despite the disruption, ADA prices remained largely unaffected.

tldr; Cardano's blockchain split into two chains on Nov. 21 due to a malformed transaction exploiting a bug from 2022. Emergency patches were deployed within hours, and the network stabilized by Nov. 22. A developer admitted responsibility, citing reliance on AI instructions during testing. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson involved the FBI, calling the incident a 'premeditated attack.' The event caused ADA's price to drop 16%. An IOG employee resigned, expressing concerns over legal risks for development mistakes.

ADA was seen as one of THE blue-chip Cryptos in 2021 competing with SOL and ETH even with their hype.
Now its just nowhere...

Ergo is one of those projects that will either explode or die, no middle ground.
Founded by the same guy who made LINK. It's got zk proofs, it's eUTXO like BTC, proof of work, a great mixer, true fixed supply (coins that don't get used for years get redistributed to miners as fees, it's the only crypto with a true fixed supply so figure can't go up or down - BTC and others ultimately trend towards 0 as coins are lost). Smart contracts, DeFi, not on any tier 1 exchanges. The devs just non-stop build. I think it's pumping rn because of BTC Runes. The Rosen Bridge team (a bridge on Erg to BTC/ADA/ETH/BNB/DOGE) have just introduced BTC Runes+ which essentially lets you turn BTC into a playground for custom tokens.
There's so, so much more. It's honestly a hidden gem waiting to rip your face off.

I'll hold on to my BTC and will start to DCA again (stopped when it crossed 90k again in April). I'll also keep my positions in ETH/SOL/XRP/ADA/AAVE/LINK (all well in the green, and have taken out my initital investments and then some since last cycle), but no DCAing here - just continue stakeing those that allow it. If there is a small relieve rally sometime ahead, I'll get rid of my riskier plays (NEAR/PYTH/TIA). NEAR might even give me enough gains to offset the losses in PYTH & TIA which are both well underwater (also by far my two smallest crypto positions).
If this was it, then this cycle was a bit of a disappointment, not gonna lie. Took some gains in INJ and SUI in late 2024/early 2025, but also a big L with holding on to DOT from last cycle to be able to sell it without taxes this time around. At least I can harvest the loss, I guess.

Dang. Any confidence in ADA security just vanished. Death blow inflicted
