THORChain2026-09-27 01:37:29THORChain says it is decentralized and permissionless in response to criticism over hacker fund transfersTHORChain responded after facing criticism for not taking action to stop a hacker tied to the Bitget attack from moving assets through the network. In its statement, the protocol said it was deeply saddened by the recent exploit and acknowledged how difficult the incident has been for everyone involved. THORChain then argued that it operates in the same way as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain: as a decentralized, permissionless network. On that basis, it raised a broader question about responsibility, asking what obligations Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain should bear when known stolen funds move across their networks. The response frames the issue around the nature of open blockchain infrastructure rather than any direct intervention by the protocol itself.20
