Slow Mist's Cosine Talks About THORChain: Decentralization Is Not Just a Slogan, and "Decentralized, No Right to Interfere" Should Not Be Used to Respond to Industry Security Incidents

Odaily reports that Slow Mist's Cosine posted on X platform, stating that the Bitget hack incident has spread widely, involves a huge amount of funds, and the related funds were quickly linked to North Korean hackers. Institutions such as Circle and Tether promptly assisted in freezing the related funds, with Circle freezing the USDC held by the hackers.

Regarding THORChain, Cosine pointed out that when THORChain itself previously suffered a hack, it also quickly intervened in its so-called "decentralized" platform; but this time, when facing a major industry security incident, it responded on the grounds of being "decentralized and having no right to interfere," likened itself to Bitcoin and Ethereum, and continued to earn fees from the hackers' large cross-chain transactions.

He stated that decentralization should not just be a slogan. After major security incidents occur, the key is to distinguish which issues need to be solved jointly by the industry. He also believes that platforms such as THORChain should not be easily mentioned in the same breath as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as there are clear differences in the degree of decentralization and mechanisms among different systems.
