In general, blockchain-level exploits can be resolved by reverting the blockchain to a prior state, which restores all funds to their prior ownership and limits potential losses to those who are transacting between the time of the exploit and the time of the revert. Effort should be undertaken by node operators to switch to a branch that eliminates the exploit as soon as possible to minimize losses. Any remaining losses would be resolved through the industry insurance fund.
