An attacker painstakingly managed to take away 3 million U from the Sonic network, but the account was directly frozen by the authorities, rendering the funds inaccessible. This operation reveals a fact: the centralized governance authority of emerging public chains is not something to be taken lightly.

In contrast, the ETH mainnet presents a different scenario. Once on-chain assets are in hand, basically no one can hit the pause button. This is also why seasoned veterans prefer to operate on Ethereum — decentralization is not just a slogan; at critical moments, it means "rules are rules, with no exceptions."

However, that being said, centralized systems also have their advantages. At least this time, the losses for Sonic users were stopped in a timely manner. It's just that we don't know what the attacker is feeling at this moment; they are probably reassessing the "business environment" of each chain.
