TAC Suspends Chain Operations After Exploit Attack

A full chain halt is the most disruptive response a project can take, and it signals the exploit was serious enough that the team judged live operations riskier than downtime. That trade-off lands hardest on users and applications whose funds or activity are now frozen, not on the attackers. The open questions are the scope of the vulnerability and whether the team can restore operations with a credible explanation of what went wrong.
