</div></figure><p><strong>Version 1.35.2</strong>, which was supposed to be <strong>used for the upcoming Vasil hard fork</strong>, <strong>contained a critical bug</strong> that was discovered because stake pool operators rushed to upgrade on the mainnet, and it led to the creation of incompatible forks. </p>
<p>Even though the vulnerability has been discovered, the testnet remains broken due to the fact the lion’s share of SPOs upgrading their nodes to version 1.35.2 in order to simulate a Vasil hard fork combinator event. <strong>Version 1.35.3</strong>, which was introduced earlier this week,<strong> is not capable of syncing the chain</strong>, and it is now being tested on two new testnets that do not have any block history.</p>
<figure><div>
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">(3/n) however, Testnet is still broken, due to the majority of operators having upgraded to 1.35.2 on testnet to simulate a Vasil HFC event there, 1.35.3 is now incompatible and incapable of syncing the chain, legacy installations are still on one fork or another…</p>— Adam Dean (@adamKDean) <a href="https://twitter.com/adamKDean/status/1560295451244367872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 18, 2022</a>

He has urged Input Output and CEO Charles Hoskinson to deploy the tooling that would be needed for a disaster recovery plan. </p>
<p>The upgrade, which was originally scheduled for late June, has now been postponed several times due to technical difficulties. </p>
