Cosmos Hub Voters Veto Proposal to Refund Neutron Attacker 1.2M ATOM

The rejection carries weight less as a verdict on the attacker than as a line drawn around the community pool: governance is signalling that treasury funds won't be used to compensate or incentivize an exploit, even framed as a bounty. It also tests the veto mechanism itself, which in Cosmos carries a deposit-burn consequence, so the cost of a failed proposal falls on its backers rather than the Hub. The open question is whether this hardens into a norm against bounty-style refunds in future governance, or remains a one-off reaction to an unusually brazen request.
