FLOW has recently experienced a noticeable surge with a short-term increase of 3.2% within 5 minutes. Behind this movement, there are actually two important events supporting it.

Let's first talk about what happened. The Flow blockchain encountered a vulnerability exploit from the execution layer between the night of December 26 and the early morning of December 27, resulting in approximately $3.9 million worth of assets being transferred out. It sounds quite serious, but the project team responded very quickly—immediately halting the network, releasing a protocol fix patch, and node operators began urgent upgrades. The network has already rolled back to the checkpoint before the attack (Cadence: 137363395, EVM: 51358233), indicating they have a mature emergency response plan.

More importantly, the official stance is clear. They confirmed one point: all existing user balances are completely unaffected, and funds are secure and safe. This is a reassurance for the community, preventing a panic run scenario, and paving the way for subsequent ecosystem recovery.

From the market performance perspective, this rapid response seems to have gained market recognition. Starting from a trigger price of 0.1290, it rose 3.2% in 5 minutes, reached 4.88% in 15 minutes, 5.74% in 30 minutes, broke 7.5% in 1 hour, and hit 10.26% in 4 hours. Although technical vulnerabilities are not good news in themselves, a project's response at critical moments often more directly reflects its governance level and user trust.

This reaction speed is indeed real, unlike some projects that run away after issues --- Wait, is this praise or criticism? It feels a bit strange --- 390 million gone but still rising? The community really believes in this --- Wow, the crisis public relations are well done, at least it didn't trigger a run on the bank --- To put it simply, quick stop-loss is more effective than anything else, the market eats this up --- The rollback mechanism looks quite professional, but I still want to see if there are any real audit reports afterward --- Such a rapid increase, who believes it's because of quick response? Most likely it's the whales protecting the market --- Alright, better than those projects that pretend to be dead, at least they dare to admit the vulnerabilities --- A reassuring pill? To me, it looks more like an opportunity for big players to offload --- Once such an incident occurs, it's time to consider withdrawing

Alright, this round of operations indeed saved the market, the response was quick enough. Flow handled it quite well this time, avoiding the sense of a dead end in the crypto space. 390 million USD was lost, but user funds remained untouched; the attention to detail was excellent. By the way, this is what true trust crisis management looks like. Why can't other projects do the same? A 10% increase is reasonable; it's not as exaggerated as you said. Fast speed ≠ technical excellence; we also need to see if subsequent patches are reliable. The nodes cooperating so well is a bit suspicious; could it be... never mind. With this level of response, they are definitely much better than some projects.

Hey, this response speed is really good. Fix it directly without panic—that's the way it should be.

3.9 million USD hacked but still up 10%? That's some impressive move. Honestly, I'm a bit convinced. The reaction speed is indeed tough, unlike some projects that get directly socially destroyed.

Oh wow, quick response is a signal. This move indeed helped regain some trust. --- Losing $3.9 million and still able to stabilize the community, honestly, this attitude is tough. --- I just want to know why some people always like to dump during a crisis. I really can't understand the logic. --- Rapid repair + transparent communication, this is the level of project I want to see. --- The 10% increase is probably a reward for emergency handling, reasonable. --- What do you guys who still have doubts say now? --- The key is that user funds haven't moved. Honestly, this eased many of my concerns. --- The vulnerability itself isn't scary; what’s scary is the project team playing hide and seek. Flow didn't disappoint me this time. --- From panic to rebound in just a few hours, the market is just so realistic. --- Feels more professional than some well-known projects' crisis management. Not bragging.
