No need. Vitalik can just do a chain-rollback. Wouldn't be the first time and wont be the last time.
What are the implications of the hackers selling the ETH for Bitcoin though? It’s not too far fetched to assume there might be pressure at Foundry and other US based pools to impose restrictions on transactions involving addresses used to move the converted Bitcoin. Given how centralised mining pools have become this could become a problem sooner rather than later. Can you do an episode about it nostr:nprofile1qqs8fl79rnpsz5x00xmvkvtd8g2u7ve2k2dr3lkfadyy4v24r4k3s4sh8dmel?

Now that part of the funds have been converted into Bitcoin, if they roll back who will cover the loses of the swap services?
Good question
this seems like a much different situation than the DOA hack since the funds are actively being swapped to other chains. what would rolling it back at this point even accomplish but to harm the other side of the swap?
