CryptoWorld News reports that the Arbitrum Security Council invoked emergency powers to freeze funds and recover about $72 million in the Kelp DAO attack incident, marking the first time the “God Mode” controversy in Layer 2 solutions has been triggered. Analyst Griff Green noted that blockchains are not absolutely tamper-proof; their underlying nature relies on social consensus and market constraints. He said the move was based on clear attribution of the hacker and timing decisions regarding the window period, but it also exposed the tension between decentralization and security. He criticized Circle for inaction during the hacker incident and compared it with Tether’s proactive freezing. At the same time, he emphasized that the biggest bottleneck the crypto industry faces today is not technology, but user security and operational capabilities, which still make it difficult to support large-scale adoption.
