Should all blockchains be fully decentralized?

The recent Cetus hack on SUI resulted in a $223M loss. Thankfully, the SUI Foundation intervened and froze $162M. Critics called it “centralized,” but let’s be real: total decentralization isn’t always the answer.

Complete decentralization without any form of oversight is a recipe for disaster. Billions can vanish in seconds. Entire ecosystems can collapse. If no one can step in, even honest mistakes become irreversible tragedies.

SUI was never built to be 100% decentralized — and that’s a feature, not a flaw. Its goal is efficiency, scalability, and freeing devs and users from corporate control — not sacrificing everything for ideology.

If you’re looking for pure decentralization, Bitcoin (BTC) or Monero (XMR) are there. But if you want a blockchain capable of powering real-world solutions safely, some level of governance is not only smart — it’s essential.

Not every chain has to be the same. Decentralization isn’t binary. It’s a spectrum — and SUI chose the right balance.
