Liquid resumes block production and user transactions after the exploit
Liquid resumed block production on September 9 and user transactions on September 10. Bitcoin peg operations remained suspended.
After the September 6 exploit created unbacked L-BTC, Liquid restored services in stages. Blockstream’s chronology dates resumed block production to September 9, 2026, and resumed user transactions to September 10.
Elements 23.3.4 fixed an ambiguity in cached proof-check identifiers. A corrected chain excluded the invalid inflation and replayed valid transactions.
Users could again move assets inside Liquid, but peg operations remained halted and reserve funds remained outstanding. Internal service recovery therefore did not restore the normal route between L-BTC and Bitcoin or establish full restitution.
