THORChain has released its fourth update regarding the Asgard vault intrusion incident, publishing the ADR028 proposal and opening voting for node operators. The proposal indicates that the protocol will first absorb losses through its Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL), with the remaining portion to be borne by synthetic asset holders. The exact proportion is still under evaluation. The POL will be reduced to zero as a result, and the proposal suggests allocating a portion of system revenue over time to gradually replenish it. This plan does not involve minting new RUNE, selling RUNE, or diluting holder equity.On the technical side, the GG20 version will be temporarily retained with a patch upgrade. Trading will resume after the vulnerability is fixed and a successful node rotation is completed. A slower, more security-focused release cadence is planned for the future.Regarding the slashing mechanism, unrelated nodes sharing the same vault as the attacker will be protected, while the attacker's node will be fully slashed. The recovered RUNE will be paired with recoverable assets from the affected vault, and any excess RUNE will be burned.Additionally, THORChain has offered a white-hat bounty to the attacker to recover funds. If a portion of the funds is recovered, the recovery plan will be adjusted proportionally. THORChain emphasizes its commitment to remaining neutral and permissionless, stating it will not censor the attacker's swap transactions after trading resumes.Currently, node operators are voting on the overall direction and principles of the proposal. The specific figures in the ADR are indicative and will be adjusted later via the Mimir mechanism. The goal is to restart the network as soon as possible. A "yes" vote means developers can proceed further along this path.

Guy Wuollet, General Partner at a16z Crypto, wrote that the financial industry is undergoing a “digital migration” analogous to the cloud computing era—and blockchain is emerging as the core infrastructure driving this transformation. Wall Street’s adoption of blockchain is not motivated by the ideology of “decentralization,” but rather by practical needs: mitigating counterparty risk, improving settlement efficiency, and ensuring fair ordering mechanisms. “Digital assets,” in essence, represent the migration of the financial system’s underlying architecture onto blockchains—akin to how enterprise IT systems shifted from on-premises deployments to cloud services. When financial assets run on programmable, shared infrastructure, they unlock “composability”—a defining advantage enabling assets to be freely combined and extended like software. This significantly reduces development costs and boosts overall innovation efficiency across the financial system. This trend will propel traditional finance from “closed reconciliation systems” toward “on-chain coordination networks,” and blockchain technology will gradually become a standard component of the financial infrastructure layer.
