Harmony Protocol moves to reverse downtrend with rollback plan announcement

Harmony has published a detailed rollback plan that would rewind its blockchain to cancel the effects of an attacker who forged billions of ONE tokens.

The move will discard every transaction confirmed on the network since the incident, deleting legitimate user activity along with the fraud.

What is Harmony doing to its blockchain?

The Harmony network has announced that it will return to the state it was in on August 11, 2026, at 23:25:37 UTC. All transactions that happened after that date and time, including the fake ONE tokens that were created by a hacker, as well as any legal buys, sells, or transfers that users made, will be erased.

The company chose this specific time because the first fake tokens appeared in the very next block on Shard 0, which was block number 92,730,036.

The block just before it, number 92,730,034 (Shard 1) was never attacked, but it is being rolled back at the same time to prevent any future problems. The network will then start creating new blocks from heights 92,730,035 and 94,978,279.
