Waves rolled back its network after a third party generated blocks with unusually high fees on November 9, causing several addresses to be incorrectly credited with WAVES that did not exist, according to Foresight News. The report was published on November 10, 2026, at 19:16 Beijing time.
Waves rolled back to block 5,481,020 to remove the false credits. The network is now running on a new chain beginning at block 5,481,021. Waves also released fix version v1.6.5 and asked all node operators to upgrade and manually roll back according to its release notes.
Transactions initiated between 07:55 and approximately 18:16 Beijing time on November 9 may be affected. Foresight News also noted its earlier report that Upbit and Bithumb had designated WAVES an investment-warning asset.
