Following a $1.4 billion hack, Tim Beiko emphasized that the Ethereum blockchain cannot be rolled back. No issues with the protocol were found.

Statement from Ethereum's Lead Developer

One of Ethereum's lead developers, Tim Beiko, stated that rolling back the blockchain is not possible following public outcry over the recent hack. Beiko noted that from the protocol's perspective, this incident is indistinguishable from other legitimate transactions.

Lessons from the DAO Hard Fork

The Ethereum blockchain previously experienced a hard fork after the DAO hack in 2016, where approximately $60 million worth of ETH was stolen, leading to the creation of a new version of the network. But in the recent hack, as the funds were immediately moved, this was not possible. 'Hacked funds from TheDAO were effectively frozen for a month, giving time for the community to coordinate on a software upgrade,' Beiko recalled.

Recovery after the Bybit Hack

In the wake of the hack on the Bybit exchange, which resulted in a loss of 401,000 ETH, the price of Ethereum initially dropped but quickly regained its position, surpassing the $2,800 mark.

The incident highlights the complexities of today's Ethereum ecosystem and the difficulty in reversing network changes after significant hacks.
