Charles Hoskinson has reportedly contacted the FBI after a developer's experiment resulted in an unintended split of the Cardano blockchain. The incident, which Hoskinson labeled as "careless," arose from actions that inadvertently caused a network fork, prompting immediate concerns about the security and integrity of the ecosystem. The involvement of federal law enforcement marks a significant escalation in how technical mishaps are handled within the project. Hoskinson emphasized that while the split originated from an experimental context, the threat to network stability required a serious response to ensure the blockchain's integrity is maintained and to determine the intent behind the disruption.
