An almost unprecedented event has occurred on the blockchain: the project team forcibly transferred user assets through protocol layer permissions without controlling the private keys. This action directly challenges the fundamental principle of blockchain—absolute control over private keys.



What’s more troubling is the subsequent response. The project team did not directly address the core issue of "whether malicious issuance exists," but instead chose a technical remedy—using post-operation procedures to fix the outcome, effectively bypassing the facts themselves. This response has sparked further community skepticism.

From the market reaction, mainstream exchanges including HTX have become the first responders. The way such incidents are handled, to some extent, is also testing the industry's bottom line and standards—how all parties respond when protocol permissions conflict with user asset protection.

Is this ever going to end? If you can't even control your private keys, what's the point of a blockchain? This is outrageous. The project team’s move has directly torn their face apart. Don’t talk about technical remedies; it’s obvious they’re just shifting the blame. Exchanges responded quickly, it seems they still have their bottom line. But are retail investors going to get cut again? If this sets a precedent, it’s really the end. Who would dare to touch this kind of project anymore? The risk is just too explosive.

This is outrageous. The project team directly ignores the sanctity of private keys. I think the industry's bottom line is gone. Forcibly transferring assets through protocol permissions? Is this really how you play? I'm truly convinced. Talking about technical remedies, isn't that just armchair strategy after the fact? The problem is, you haven't even admitted fault. HTX responded so quickly—are they really afraid of an incident or just shifting blame? Who knows. Whether private keys are private or not, it all feels虚的 now; anyone can move them. If there's no real explanation this time, who will dare to truly trust the security of on-chain assets in the future?

Private keys can be bypassed, so what's the point of talking about decentralization? Isn't this just centralized with a different disguise? --- Bypassing the facts themselves... I've seen this trick in Excel called "data beautification," changing the results without changing the process—classic case of closing one's eyes to theft. --- The protocol layer can transfer funds arbitrarily; how big is the arbitrage space for this bug? Need to carefully analyze historical data for anomalies. --- HTX responds quickly, indicating that the exchange cares more about this matter than the community. Those who suffer the most understand this best. --- Not directly addressing the issue of malicious token issuance, but instead fixing it technically—that's suspicious. The fee model can't even be fixed, which is embarrassing. --- In traditional finance, this would have been shut down by regulators long ago. The "bottom line" of Web3 is really so fragile. --- Post-operation fixes = on-chain version of confessing and leniency versus resisting strictness. When it can't be played anymore, just change the rules.

Isn't this just pure abuse of power? The project team is still making excuses, truly impressive. --- Not even having the private key and still able to transfer? That logic is completely absurd. --- Another "technical remedy" show, they just don't want to admit they messed up. --- HTX is taking sides so quickly? Looks like the big players also have to pick a side. --- The core issue is two words: whose money. --- The bottom line of blockchain is being repeatedly broken by the project team, I'm really speechless. --- Wait, are they testing our tolerance? Feels a bit too arrogant. --- Protocol permissions > user assets, does this logic hold up, everyone? --- Just want to move on after the fix? The community must be pretty patient. --- Another "responsible project team" revealing itself, including this round of operations.

Using protocol permissions directly to seize assets? Isn't this undermining the core values of blockchain... Really incredible, denying it when confronted, and instead trying to fix the mess afterward. I've seen too many of these blame-shifting tactics. I'm curious to see how HTX will handle this mess; the exchange's attitude is the true barometer. What happened to the promised self-custody? Now the project team is the new "bank"? If this incident isn't properly handled this time, the entire industry's credibility will take a hit.
