BNB Smart Chain to hard-fork following $100 million 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 hard fork, dubbed Moran, will take place at block height 22,107,423 — estimated to occur on Oct. 12 at 8:00 am UTC. Changes will include fixing a vulnerability in the iavl hash check and introducing block header in sequence checks.
