ThorChain responds to network interruptions, calling it an emergency mechanism to protect protocol security

ThorChain states that network interruptions are an emergency mechanism to protect protocol security, rather than a freeze or review of specific funds. In the May 2026 security incident, $10.7 million was stolen from the liquidity pool, and at that time, the attacker's address was not blacklisted and could still conduct transactions on THORChain. THORChain, as a permissionless blockchain platform, does not undergo any censorship.
