Zcash bug costs 18 THORChain node operators about 140 RUNE while users lose nothing

Onchain data uncovers a Zcash matching bug that eliminated about 140 RUNE from the bonds of 18 THORChain node operators. User and vault funds were unaffected, and native ZEC trading remains frozen until a fix ships. Bonded collateral absorbed the Zcash vault slash A vault slash was caused by the outbound matching problem. No funds were lost, but trading remains paused until the fix ships in 3.21, the protocol said. Operators lock up RUNE as collateral, and their stake takes the hit when a vault fails. The collateral here covered a software failure. The swappers got away unharmed. According to its State of the Network report, THORChain’s active set increased from 87 to 103 nodes in September, Cryptopolitan reported. Those nodes’ bond providers will pick up streaming yield in v3.21.
