MultiversX announced that it has confirmed an attacker attempted to exploit atomicity issues at the virtual machine (VM) level of the mainnet, resulting in invalid state changes on the chain. To prevent further impact, the network has currently suspended operations. The engineering team has prepared a fix and is validating it in a shadow fork environment. If the tests are successful, they will coordinate with validation nodes, exchanges, and infrastructure partners to deploy the fix to the mainnet.Meanwhile, the team is evaluating a targeted recovery plan aimed at preserving the finalized transaction history and legitimate user states while only addressing the invalid changes related to this incident. Users do not need to take any action; they just need to wait for notifications regarding the restoration of normal operations. The official reminder advises users not to submit or rebroadcast transactions, and not to recharge or withdraw EGLD and ESDT through exchanges or cross-chain bridges.

Geoff Kendrick, the Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, stated that ARB is expected to reach $10 by the end of 2030. This prediction is based on a reference price of $0.14, which is approximately 48 times the current price of $0.21; its annual targets also include $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028, and $6.5 in 2029.Arbitrum's monthly revenue is expected to reach $5 million, more than five times the growth before the launch of Robinhood Chain. Robinhood Chain launched its public blockchain mainnet on July 1, based on the Arbitrum platform, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications; according to the Expansion Program, 10% of the protocol's net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.ARB is the ERC-20 governance token used for voting on ArbitrumDAO proposals, and currently does not represent ownership of on-chain assets, nor does it have a mechanism for directly capturing Arbitrum revenue. Standard Chartered pointed out that the slowdown in the tokenization process, competitive blockchains, and the lack of a direct value capture mechanism for ARB are the main risks facing this prediction.
