BNB Smart Chain to hard-fork following $100M exploit

BNB Smart Chain, the smart contract-enabled blockchain of crypto exchange Binance, will undergo a hard fork as a fix for the exploit that drained the platform of an estimated $100 million on Oct. 6, according to a post on GitHub.

The release for the mainnet and testnet is a “temporary urgent patch to mitigate the cross-chain infrastructure between Beacon Chain and Smart Chain,” said the post, aiming to reenable the cross-chain.
