It’s a major shot across the bow at future attacks, but it raises questions about how those funds will be decided and spent.

Governance Tensions On Display According to reports, Sui is also asking token holders to vote on whether to return some of the frozen assets to Cetus users. That plan has stoked debate. Critics say letting validators swing such decisions could put too much power in a small group. Sui’s Foundation has promised to stay neutral, but opinions are split on what “neutral” really means.
