A potential bug in Geth that causes an invalid chain to get finalized will not only destroy $50B of value (most of which are held by unsophisticated retail users) but could reduce Ethereum's economic security by 75%, rendering it 30% less economically secure compared to Solana.

Is there more context to this cast? Was there a recent security incident? This threat reminds me of when bitcoin had that issue whereby a miner could produce a "valid" block that minted extra coins.
