On April 25, 2026, Litecoin's official account reported a zero-day bug that affected major mining pools, allowing invalid MWEB transactions through non-updated nodes. This led to a 13-block chain reorganization that reversed these invalid transactions before they could settle. The Litecoin team assured that all valid transactions remained safe and that the bug has been fully patched. The network is now operating normally, and initial concerns about a 51% attack were clarified as a result of the reorganization.
