THORChain Refuses to Block Hacker Wallets After Bitget Hack

  • —Part of the funds stolen from Bitget moved through THORChain swaps
  • —Bitget's CEO asked the network to deny service to the attacker's wallets
  • —THORChain declined: selective address blocking is not built in
  • —The funds also moved across Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Chain
Why it matters: The censorship debate over permissionless protocols sets a precedent for the industry: whether networks can freeze stolen funds at all.
