The Ethereum Layer 2 platform, Blast, is currently facing a significant dilemma following a major exploit in the crypto game Munchables, which resulted in a loss of over $62 million in ETH (17.4k Eth). The exploit was attributed to a developer allegedly from North Korea, according to investigator ZachXBT. The situation has sparked a debate within the crypto community about whether Blast should utilize its centralized control to reverse the hack by rolling back the chain, thereby recovering the $62.5m lost. This action, however, raises concerns about the implications for decentralization and the precedent it might set for future exploits. The debate is further complicated by the potential legal and reputational ramifications of such a decision. The Blast team is evaluating all options, including a potential rollback, as the community and stakeholders await a resolution.











Bingo. Blast has the ability to stop the North Korean hackers. They are not decentralized. They can’t pretend to be decentralized and just let them have the funds. There is no debate to be had here. https://t.co/pPObjMCOrb
I agree Blast should stop the funds if they can, no brainer That does bring up another, more uncomfortable point though If decentralization didn't matter anyway, perhaps these apps didn't need to be on a blockchain to begin with How many other apps is this true for?
Ya know all this talk of Blast reversing the hack and decentralization... If they DO have the ability and they do NOT make use of it because 'morality' or whatever - does that mean they're willingly letting N Korea have $62m? Kinda wonder how the US Gov feels about that idea😅
