这是个类似问题的回答,关于大崩溃后怎么恢复。

如果 SHA-256 被彻底攻破,我觉得我们可以先对"出事前哪条是诚实链"达成共识,把它锁定,再换个新哈希函数继续。
如果哈希是慢慢被攻破的,我们可以有序过渡到新哈希。软件会设定从某个块号开始用新哈希,大家到时候升级就行。软件可以把所有旧块的新哈希存下来,确保没人能拿一个旧哈希相同、内容不同的块来捣乱。

If the hash breakdown came gradually, we could transition to a new hash in an orderly way. The software would be programmed to start using a new hash after a certain block number. Everyone would have to upgrade by that time. The software could save the new hash of all the old blocks to make sure a different block with the same old hash can't be used.
