Yu Xian commented on the suspension of Linea chain after Velocore was hacked: Such a decision is understandable in the early stage, but it will become less and less likely in the future

Yesterday, Ethereum L2 chain Linea stopped producing blocks and suspended the sorter after Velocore was hacked. In response, SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted on the X platform: "To stop the loss of an ecological project being hacked, and choose to suspend itself and blacklist the L2 of the relevant address, this choice can be understood in the early stage, and the more it goes on, the more impossible it is, and the more it needs to be impossible. The challenge of security and trust is so great." Yesterday, Linea released an update on the Velocore incident on the X platform. Linea pointed out that the current network security only affects third-party DApps. Linea suspended the sorter operation because it was temporarily unable to contact the Velocore team when Velocore was attacked. Linea emphasized: "Most L2s, including Linea, still rely on centralized technical operations, which can be used to protect ecosystem participants. Linea's core value is a permissionless and uncensored environment, so we did not make this decision rashly."
