As I understand it Calibra is a custodial wallet. I'd guess that transactions between Calibra users never hit the libra blockchain, so reverting them should be possible.

Presumably by giving your money back to you.

That's generally how a refund works.

Did you have something else in mind?

That would mean they are an intermediary in the blockchain.

They create a new transaction from their probably inexhaustible wallet to your wallet.

I don't know much about Calibra, is it a public blockchain? Can anyone build a client to generate transactions and mine blocks?
