Fascinating how different chains responded differently to the $128M @Balancer hack. Berachain had validators halt the network (Balancer very tightly integrated into their ecosystem). Polygon validators censoring hacker's transactions to freeze them in place. Sonic added func [...]

maybe halting the network or freezing hacked funds is a good solution for smaller alt-L1s as @hosseeb says but consider the second order effects if operators of a chain *can* freeze funds for theft, hack, or government order then doesn't this imply a legal responsibility for val [...]

Balancer just hacked for about 110M across mainnet, sonic, polygon, berachain, arb, base & OP 🫥 Only balancer V2 is affected, not v3. if you are in any balancer forks get out ASAP just when i was thinking we haven't had any defi hacks in a while...

this is actually a feature not a bug for blockchains with small validator sets like bera, sui and solana -- they can coordinate quickly for scenarios like this. def. the correct call by @SmokeyTheBera ethereum is too decentralized for this to happen even if the EF wanted to (wh [...]
