21 nodes determine 160 million ownership: The 'decentralization' truth of Sui
This is not a technical issue, but a power issue
'Decentralization' is the belief of blockchain, but Sui recently did something 'against the belief'—21 validator nodes joined forces to freeze 160 million dollars in the hacker's address
The power of 21 nodes— Sui has only 21 active validators, and its coordination ability far exceeds that of Bitcoin/Ethereum.
【Controversial Focus】
1. Decentralization: If a few nodes can decide the life and death of funds, what is the difference from banks freezing accounts?
2. User protection vs. autonomy principle: Allowing hackers to launder money vs. sacrificing decentralization, which is worse?
3. Industry unspoken rules: Almost all PoS chains (Solana, BNB Chain…) have this kind of 'emergency button', but Sui just used it too obviously this time.
'Decentralization' has never been black and white, but how power is exercised must be open and aboveboard.
