Record outflows revive calls for rate limits and time delays
Calls for stronger protective controls resurfaced after record outflows, with industry participants again pointing to rate limits and time delays as tools that could reduce losses in future crypto thefts. Protos said this pattern is common after large-scale hacks, when debate shifts from the immediate damage to what safeguards might have slowed or contained it. One of the public comments highlighted in the report came from Arik Galansky, who wrote on October 30, 2026, that the ecosystem needs more rate limits and time delays. The report also noted that projects that have already put such controls in place used the moment to stress their value. While the source summary did not name specific projects or provide technical details, it framed the renewed discussion around practical mechanisms designed to limit how quickly funds can leave a system during an attack.
