Blockchain reorganizations, where networks discard recent blocks to follow a longer chain, have exposed weaknesses in proof-of-work (PoW) systems, highlighted by Monero’s August 2025 ordeal and earlier disruptions across other blockchains. Decoding Chain Reorgs A blockchain reorganization, or reorg, happens when a chain of blocks is abandoned in favor of a competing version with greater cumulative proof-of-work (PoW), effectively rewriting a piece of the ledger. Reorgs roll back transactions in orphaned blocks, sending them back into the mempool for possible inclusion—or omission—later. This creates openings for double-spending, where attackers can spend coins on a discarded chain yet still retain them…
