They put to a vote a plan to rescue Binance and Polymarket money, and this plan is, to put it mildly, radical — forcibly zeroing out the hackers’ wallets at the protocol level. In essence, the industry is being faced with an uncomfortable choice: save systemic players or protect the inviolability of Web3’s main rule that transactions cannot be reversed.
