bridges with sliding window maximums for outflows (h/t @SuiNetwork) would deter and contain most large smart contract hacks
this becomes even easier to implement if most financial apps are deployed on an appchain
This is a really horrible and useless precedent.
How would anyone with the freeze ability detect the hack before attacker starts diffusing the funds into a bunch of markets and bridges?
On a high performance chain the funds will move in milliseconds and there is no way to compute the isolated account set.
If hack leaves attacker funds stuck somewhere then a DAO style hard fork can be done without a freeze authority. It seems like security theater to me that itself is an another attack vector to worry about.
another unlock is it would also allow defi insurance products to more accurately price protocol risk, due to an upper bound of the max loss before social consensus would presumably rescue the remaining user funds
