The core team of the cross-chain bridging protocol deBridge recently raised a noteworthy concern. When the Flow chain decided to execute a blockchain rollback, there was no prior sufficient communication with key ecosystem parties such as bridging providers and exchanges. Such unilateral decision-making could pose systemic risks more severe than the original vulnerability—deBridge, as one of Flow's main cross-chain bridges, was already at a final state when notified.
The chain reaction caused by the rollback should not be underestimated. Assets of cross-chain users may face duplication issues, and deposit reconciliation has become a practical problem. This means that users and ecosystem participants relying on cross-chain services could fall into asset confusion. When a public chain makes a major decision, the participation of ecosystem stakeholders directly affects the network's stability. Relying solely on technical rollback measures, without ecosystem coordination, could instead complicate the problem.

Fuck, Flow this time is really outrageous, no prior warning before the rollback? deBridge was directly sold off.

This is a typical case of "I fix myself," starting to rollback without even informing the bridge party, leaving the ecosystem team confused. They deserve the trouble.

Flow's move was brilliant; they didn't even give a heads-up before the rollback, and the bridging party was caught completely off guard.
