# THORChain Details Refund Error That Left a Vault 10 Ether (ETH) Short By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/47198 Published: 2026-11-03T02:58:34.000Z Updated: 2026-11-03T02:58:34.000Z Section: Technology > The sender returned the shortfall, but swaps remained halted on 10 networks Monday with no restart date announced. THORChain traced a 10 Ether (ETH) vault shortfall to duplicate refunds after an Ethereum reorganization, while swaps remained disabled on 10 networks Monday as developers worked on fixes. At 7:34 a.m. ET (11:34 UTC) Saturday, Oct. 31, a one-block Ethereum reorganization removed a block containing a deposit THORChain had already logged. The swap failed to meet the sender’s price limit. THORChain made two refunds: one for the deposit it thought it held and another for the actual deposit. The shortfall triggered THORChain’s solvency check, which automatically stopped Ethereum swaps. Node operators halted outgoing ETH transactions about two minutes later, and a vote by three nodes paused swaps across all chains. The sender has since returned the 10 ETH, closing the shortfall. On Monday, swaps remained halted on 10 networks, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), while AVAX, Base and XRP were active. The update follows the [initial swap pause](). THORChain has not announced a restart date. Core developers are working on fixes, and nodes will resume chains when they judge them safe. ## Links in this article - [initial swap pause](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/45584)
