GoPlus Security argued that THORChain should not compare itself directly with Bitcoin or Ethereum when defending its inability to block illicit flows. It stated that THORChain's outbound transactions rely on threshold signatures from a relatively small active validator set, and the protocol already includes pause, per-chain signing halt, and governance mechanisms. GoPlus pointed to prior intervention during THORChain’s own exploit, suggesting that FBI- or OFAC-attributed DPRK-linked funds could be blocked under the protocol’s existing emergency framework.
