What sources claim
- THORChain node operators paused swaps involving assets on 10 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Tron, Cointelegraph reported.
- The pause followed a block reorg bug, according to Cointelegraph.
Still unresolved
- Which specific bug mechanism caused the block reorg, and what fix THORChain requires before swaps resume, would need an official THORChain statement or code change to confirm.
- Which networks beyond the 10 named and which individual assets remain affected would need a THORChain node operator or protocol announcement to confirm.
Evidence levels describe source coverage, not the probability that a report is true. Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
