🚨 THORChain Developer Resigns Over North Korean Hackers Controversy 🚨
🔹 A core developer of THORChain, known as “Pluto,” has stepped down after a failed attempt to block transactions linked to North Korean hackers (Lazarus Group).
🔹 THORChain validators initially halted ETH trading to prevent illicit funds from being laundered but later reversed the decision after failing to reach the required votes.
🔹 The Lazarus Group reportedly funneled $605M in stolen ETH through THORChain after the $1.5B Bybit hack. This resulted in record-breaking activity on the protocol.
🔹 THORChain’s founder argued that tracking and blocking sanctioned wallets in real time is difficult, fueling debate over decentralization vs. compliance.
🔹 Concerns rise over THORChain’s ability to withstand regulatory scrutiny due to its small validator base and governance structure.
