Ravencoin (RVN) price hit a record low after a consensus exploit threatened to reverse transactions. Mining pools are attempting a chain rollback.

Ravencoin (RVN) fell to a record low of $0.002754, a roughly 22% drop, after a consensus exploit forced major mining pools to attempt a network rollback that could reverse three days of transactions [1, 3].

| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Price | $0.002754 [1] |
| 24h Move | -22% (vs. 24h high) [1] |
| Catalyst | Consensus exploit/invalid blocks [1] |
| Key Level | Block height 4,487,776 [1, 3] |

## Price Action and Exploit Details

The cryptocurrency dropped to its all-time low on Wednesday as a consensus vulnerability allowed invalid blocks to be added to the network, prompting exchanges to suspend RVN transfers [1]. Trading volume climbed above $18 million during the sell-off before easing to about $9.6 million, while RVN recovered slightly to around $0.00284 [1]. The project disclosed that vulnerable nodes began accepting invalid blocks at height 4,487,776 on Friday, Aug. 7, following a demonstration of the flaw on the mainnet [1, 3].

## Network Reorganization Effort

Mining pools 2Miners and RavenMiner, which Ravencoin says control a majority of the network's hash rate (computing power), are constructing a competing chain that excludes the exploited branch [1, 2]. If this chain becomes dominant, the network will undergo a reorganization—a rewrite of blockchain history—though sources differ on the scope, with CoinDesk reporting a potential four-day rollback and Cointelegraph and Decrypt citing roughly three days [1, 2, 3]. Ravencoin warned that transactions confirmed after block 4,487,775 could be reversed and may not automatically return to the mempool, the waiting area for unconfirmed transactions [1].

## What to watch
*   Monitor whether the competing chain built by 2Miners and RavenMiner achieves dominance over the exploited branch [1, 2].
*   Watch for announcements from exchanges like Upbit, Bitget, and Bitvavo regarding the resumption of RVN deposits and withdrawals [1, 2].
*   Track transaction confirmations around block height 4,487,776 to verify if a reorganization has occurred [1, 3].

The incident demonstrates the centralization risks inherent in smaller proof-of-work networks, where a few mining pools hold the power to rewrite transaction history [2].
