Cetus Protocol has put out a call, the
$SUI community will decide.
On May 22, there was an attack on
#CETUS Protocol that resulted in the
seizure of approximately $223M in
funds...
Approximately $162M of these funds
were frozen by
#suiNetwork validators on individual initiative
before being transferred off-chain.
This was done through transaction
filtering, whereby the validators ignore
transactions from certain addresses
via their configuration files.
The Sui Network has stated that this
authorization is not unique to Sui, and
that validators on other networks may
similarly perform such filtering for
their own risk tolerance or regulatory
compliance reasons.
The freeze is not a permanent
solution, but is in place in
emergencies to slow down the attack
and provide a basis for negotiation.
In the aftermath of the attack, Cetus
issued a call for the community to
vote on an on-chain protocol update
to enable the return of frozen funds.
The vote is planned to be held by
validators and SUI staking community
members.
Sui announced that it supports this
voting process and will only facilitat
the process technically. However, he
reiterated that his support is subject
two conditions:
1- The vote willI be conducted
impartially and Sui will not vote.
2- Cetus will publicly commits to full
Compensate users using all its
financial resources.
This is an important example of how
on-chain goverrnance mechanisms
work in extraordinary situations and
how decentralized netWorks can
respond to crises.
