70M $POL at Stake — Can Security Override Decentralization?
Polygon is considering a hard fork to recover 70.49M $POL linked to the #Binance and #Polymarket hacks.
The proposal could return the funds without increasing total supply, but it also raises a serious governance issue: assets could be moved without the original wallet owners' signatures.
Recovering stolen funds may protect users, but changing balances through network intervention could set a difficult precedent.
Where should blockchain draw the line between protecting users and preserving immutability?
