MANTRA Halts Unstaking for 7 Days After Keplr Private Key Exploit

The exploit's focus on liquid assets and involuntary unstaking shows how wallet-layer key leakage can bypass on-chain safeguards, forcing a protocol-level pause that trades user control for containment. The real exposure sits with MANTRA stakers using Web3Auth and Keplr, whose redelegation timing now determines whether hackers capture pledged tokens. The open question is whether the seven-day halt and prior governance freezes prove sufficient, or whether the eight-day unbonding window leaves a residual gap that governance action cannot close.
