THORChain co-founder says acting against Bitget hacker was possible but difficult

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users and traders on THORChain are the ones most likely to notice the validator limits first, because the network cannot use a pause aimed at just one wallet and some responses need two-thirds approval. That means the practical window for acting on the Bitget-linked funds is shaped by the time it takes validators to coordinate, not by a single operator’s decision.

In practice, the network’s normal routing and swap activity can keep operating unless a broader pause or a high-threshold vote is reached. The later Treasury discussion adds a separate path: part of the developer fund’s income from those swaps could be sent back, but that is only a matter Barraford said he would bring up.
