Monero’s ’Largest’ Reorg Yet Erases 36 Minutes of Transaction History

Monero just pulled off its biggest blockchain rewrite to date—wiping a whopping 36 minutes of transaction records clean off the books.

How It Went Down

The privacy-focused network hit a major consensus hiccup, forcing miners to revert and rebuild the chain from an earlier checkpoint. No double spends detected, but the event raises fresh questions about finality in proof-of-work systems.

Why It Matters

Reorgs aren't new, but this one's scale puts Monero's resilience under the microscope. On the bright side? The chain kept moving—no forks, no halted transactions. Just a quiet, surgical excision of recent history.

Finance types will love this one—nothing says 'store of value' like a currency that can literally undo your trade. Guess even crypto needs an occasional Ctrl+Z.
