@THORChain is questioning why it should be held responsible for processing stolen funds, arguing that it's decentralized and permissionless. But here's something worth remembering. In May 2026, THORChain suffered a $10.7M exploit. Within hours, its validators halted the network to prevent further losses. Trading and withdrawals remained unavailable for roughly FIVE WEEKS, until June 22. Meanwhile, nearly $1.2B from the Bybit hack was routed through THORChain in 2025. So THORChain can halt its network when its own assets are compromised, but is now questioning what responsibility it bears when another platform's stolen funds pass through it.
