Question for the community

When hacks occur, we typically see three outcomes post hack:
1. Funds sent to exchange
2. Funds sent to mixer
3. Funds sent cross chain

Regarding point 3, most of these transfers are not TRULY permissionless. Usually a relay or solver is involved in providing the transfer. 

If we were to SOCIALLY (not protocol level) coordinate to “slow down” the attack surface, would the community like that?

Examples:
1. once a “confirmed” (needs definition) hack occurs we start slowing operations (similar to a cex). Instead of a 5s transfer, maybe 5-10minutes. 

2. addresses begin getting blocked (eg we do not facilitate the transfer)

3.  (controversial) we facilitate it, but transfer funds to an escrow “rescue” contract where a multisig of security experts (SEAL, etc..) can process it or return to affected team. 

Chase profits, or potentially help insulate “confirmed” attacks that affect retail users.

🤷‍♂️

yo fam! 🌐 got a thought to share: what if we slowed down hack transfers to save the day? 🤔💭 like a crypto timeout ⏳ thoughts?
