maybe halting the network or freezing hacked funds is a good solution for smaller alt-L1s as @hosseeb says but consider the second order effects
if operators of a chain *can* freeze funds for theft, hack, or government order then doesn't this imply a legal responsibility for validators to always freeze funds?
this opens the door for civil and criminal cases
if you have the ability to pagerduty the validators and have them freeze and you don't take it - aren't you liable?
i have to think this industry splits two types of chains:
1. cypherpunk chains - decentralized chains that don't have the ability to freeze/censor/steal
2. tradfi chains - centralized chains that have the ability to freeze/censor/steal and consider this a feature
no shame in being a tradfi chain - but if that's your strategy be prepared to face off against Tempo/Arc and friends who will likely triple down on compliance/freezing to outcompete you
