Happy Halloween from the Pirate Chain crew! May your night be full of tricks, treats, and fully shielded treasures. Stay spooky, stay private. ARRR!

Pirate Chain ($ARRR) — October 14 Exploit: Full Incident Report We are publishing a comprehensive report detailing the October 14 consensus exploit, the network recovery process, and what it means for ARRR holders. On October 14, an attacker exploited two vulnerabilities in Pirate Chain's consensus code to create approximately 39.8 million ARRR. Key takeaways: No wallets were drained, and no user funds were stolen. The exploit-minted coins are not part of the current blockchain. The vulnerabilities were identified and patched. The network successfully restarted on October 19. Users should update to v6.0.14 and verify transactions from October 14–19. Our full report provides a transparent account of what happened, how the exploit worked, the steps taken to secure and restore the network, and the lessons learned. We encourage the entire community to read the report to better understand the incident and recovery. Read the full incident report on Medium: medium.com/piratechain/conse…

Pirate Chain ($ARRR) – Exchange Reconciliation Update Following the recent blockchain rollback, we confirm that reconciliation has been completed in coordination with the affected exchanges, and all identified transactions requiring resubmission have been resent. Deposits and withdrawals are expected to resume as each exchange completes its internal procedures. We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation throughout this process.

Mandatory Update: Pirate Chain v6.0.14 is Now Available The Pirate Chain team is pleased to announce that our development team has given the all-clear for the community to resume normal activity once the following mandatory update is completed. All users, Treasure Chest and CLI node operators, miners, pools, exchanges, and service operators must suspend operations on previous versions and update to version 6.0.14 (or greater) immediately. Do not continue running any older versions. Download Links: GitHub: github.com/PirateNetwork/pir… Pirate Chain Website: piratechain.com/wallets/#ful… Re-Index & Bootstrap Instructions: Please note that this update will trigger an automatic, one-time full chain re-index on first start, followed by a wallet scan to reconstruct shielded balances. Please be patient and do not interrupt the process, as this can take some time to complete. To speed up recovery: Users can select the built-in “Reindex and Rescan with Bootstrap” option. Version 6.0.14 utilizes a pre-indexed bootstrap to shorten recovery time and handle the wallet rebuild automatically. Incident Summary & Network Consensus: On October 14, an attacker combined two validation flaws to mint approximately 39.82 million counterfeit ARRR in the transparent coinbase pool, temporarily inflating the supply by ~20%. Both flaws have been patched in record time, closing the exploit path that allowed unauthorized coins to be created and spent, and preventing any permanent economic damage to the chain and its users. Through consensus among the community, node operators, pools, exchanges, and dPoW notaries, the chain has been rolled back to block 4,176,944 (October 14 at 19:55:14 UTC), immediately prior to the exploit: • Exploit Rejection: Version 6.0.14 causes nodes to automatically reject the exploit block and all subsequent blocks built on it. • dPoW Notarizations: The dPoW notaries have agreed to resume notarizing this corrected chain. The old branch will receive no further dPoW notarizations. • Supply Integrity: The counterfeit coin issuance has been completely removed, and all transactions and balances return to their pre-exploit state. Pirate Chain's maximum supply remains strictly at 200M ARRR. We also identified and resolved several minor bugs related to the P2P networking layer. All changelogs from release-notes-6.0.10 onwards are available to read here: github.com/PirateNetwork/pir… Our sincere thanks to the community for its patience and composure throughout this incident, and to our development team for its outstanding response under pressure. We also extend our gratitude to all team members, exchanges, pools, and partners who assisted in containing the incident so promptly and successfully. A comprehensive technical postmortem detailing the exploit, the sequence of events, and our response and recovery measures is currently being compiled and will be published in due course.

Update: The Pirate Chain team is finalizing the upcoming release for Treasure Chest full node operators, exchanges, and mining pools. Keep an eye on official Pirate Chain social media accounts for announcements. Please refrain from operating full nodes during this period. We appreciate your patience and thank our team and community for their continued support.

Pirate Chain Import Exploit Update On 14 October 2026, a transaction validation vulnerability in Pirate Chain source code was discovered which allowed the unauthorized creation of approximately 39.8 million ARRR, increasing the supply by approximately 20%. The newly minted funds were immediately transferred into the Sapling shielded pool. NonKYC subsequently identified suspicious deposits and acted quickly to restrict the associated account and prevent withdrawals. Due to the nature of shielded transactions, the full subsequent movement of the funds cannot be traced, but we believe activity related to the unauthorized issuance was otherwise restricted primarily to on-chain transactions. The exploit combined two validation failures bypassing the issuance check and incorrect interpretation of the output scripts. Evidence does not indicate any compromise of notary keys or the cryptography underlying Pirate Chain's shielded transactions. As a voluntary precaution, dPoW operators have collectively agreed to temporarily suspend notarizations, while exchanges and mining pools have been asked to voluntarily pause operations as a recovery plan is developed. Because Pirate Chain is decentralized, it is not possible to freeze the network or unilaterally rollback its blockchain history. Pirate Chain remains operational, but we ask that all users temporarily refrain from sending or moving funds. The Pirate Chain team is currently investigating the event and developing solutions in collaboration with other communities. Further technical details and recovery instructions will be provided in the forthcoming post-mortem.

We regret to inform you that an exploit in the new transparent layer related to the Ironwood turnstile for supply accounting has been identified. The developers will be rolling the chain back to 14 October 2026, 1:00 PM Pacific Time. All exchanges have been notified and are temporarily suspending deposits and withdrawals. Please refrain from sending or receiving funds and avoid using your wallet in the meantime. We appreciate your patience while we resolve the issue. Our developers are already working on a fix. Further details will follow once the rollback is complete and an investigation has concluded.
