THORChain halts swaps on 10 networks after block reorg bug

The operational pause matters less than what it reveals: THORChain's cross-chain swap layer is a single point of failure for ten networks at once, so a reorg bug propagates far beyond any one chain. The detail that the halt impedes Binance hackers is the more telling signal — the protocol's liquidity and privacy have made it a laundering route, and a defensive pause cuts both ways, blocking illicit flows while also freezing legitimate cross-chain activity. Whether node operators can restore swaps without reopening the same exploit path is the open question.
