Valid transactions that occurred during the affected blocks were not impacted and remain on the main chain, the Litecoin development team said. Litecoin, a layer-1 proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain network, was hit by a “zero-day” vulnerability on Saturday, which caused a 13-block reorganization of the chain, according to the Litecoin team, while other developers say the bug may have been previously known.

The Ethereum Foundation unstaked over 17,000 ETH worth $40M shortly after approaching its 70,000 ETH staking target. The Ethereum Foundation has moved to unwind part of its staking position shortly after nearing its stated goal of 70,000 staked ETH.
