This Bitget drama keeps escalating. Since the hacker's funds were reported to have been transferred through THORChain, THORChain responded as shown in the image, but this clearly won't quell the anger of the onlookers. It's worth noting that in last year's Bybit hack, which amounted to $1.46 billion, nearly $1.2 billion of the stolen funds were also transferred via THORChain. Currently, many experts led by Lao Xu are fiercely criticizing this.
Ajian believes this highlights the inherent flaws of Crypto. On one hand, people have built this financial empire on the narrative of decentralization; on the other hand, if a protocol collects fees from related transactions but does not intervene to block them, it is seen as irresponsible behavior.
It's quite a dilemma. Permissionless is a product feature but also a compliance challenge. If a protocol does not block any assets, it is closer to infrastructure; if the protocol has governance and intervention capabilities, the market expects it to bear more responsibility
