Quick Take
- For almost thirteen years of the blockchains’ existence, at least a dozen outages or accidental forks have occurred.
- Most often, incidents occurred with Ethereum, which is associated with its status as the first smart contract platform and a vast ecosystem.
- It is impossible to find all consensus bugs or prevent DoS attacks beforehand, but history shows that validators and developers quickly solve all issues.
