Because this is no longer a debate of "decentralization vs centralization."

It's a matter of "North Korea vs the entire world."

DeFi can't become a hacker's"

Arbitrum just froze 30K+ ETH.

On the other:

Someone can step in

That’s the tradeoff."

However, they are still connected. What we have seen that chains like Arbitrum and some OP stack chains nowadays have arguably relatively secure canonical bridges. However - because they are so slow"
