当朝鲜黑客使用Thorchain从Bybit偷走了9亿美元的洗钱时，它引发了该平台运营商的裂痕

当显然朝鲜黑客使用Thorchain上个月从Crypto Exchange偷来的14亿美元

When it became apparent that North Korean hackers were using Thorchain to launder $1.4 billion stolen from crypto exchange Bybit last month, it triggered a clash among the platform’s operators.

当显然朝鲜黑客使用Thorchain上个月从Crypto Exchange Bybit偷走了14亿美元的洗钱时，它引发了该平台运营商的冲突。

One group was appalled and pushed to shut off the network until they had the situation under control.

一群人感到震惊，并推动关闭网络，直到他们控制了情况。

But others who were dedicated to upholding the network’s decentralisation — a common aspiration for blockchain projects — wanted to keep it running, no matter who was using it, or for what purpose.

但是，其他致力于维护网络的权力下放的人（对区块链项目的普遍愿望）希望保持其运行，无论是谁在使用它，或出于什么目的。

The latter group won out.

后一组赢了。

Over the following week, North Korean hackers the Lazarus Group used Thorchain in the laundering of $900 million worth of crypto, according to an analysis by Taylor Monahan, the lead security researcher at the crypto wallet MetaMask.

在接下来的一周中，朝鲜黑客拉扎鲁斯集团（Lazarus Group）在洗劫价值9亿美元的加密货币中使用了Thorchain。

And the node operators — volunteers who process transactions — pocketed millions in fees.

节点运营商（正在处理交易的志愿者）的费用数百万。

Now, the network, which specialises in swaps between incompatible blockchains, is facing a barrage of criticism.

现在，该网络专门研究不兼容的区块链之间的互换，正面临着批评的攻击。

Thorchain’s dilemma demonstrates the tension between creating decentralised financial products and preventing the facilitation of criminal activity.

Thorchain的困境表明，创建分散的金融产品与防止犯罪活动的促进之间的张力。

The episode also casts a spotlight on the question of whether inaction amounts to knowingly aiding in the laundering of stolen funds for a pariah state that flouts international law.

这一集还引起了人们的关注，即不采取行动是否有意识地促进盗窃国际法的很少资金的盗窃资金。

Between 2007 and 2023, Lazarus Group hacks have cost crypto firms and DeFi projects over $3.4 billion, per a DL News calculation.

根据DL新闻计算，在2007年至2023年之间，Lazarus Group Hacks的成本超过34亿美元。

The hacker group stole an additional 40% of that amount in just the Bybit hack. North Korea uses the money from crypto thefts to advance its nuclear missile programme.

黑客小组仅在Bybit Hack中又偷走了这一数量的40％。朝鲜利用加密盗窃的钱推进其核导弹计划。

Then there is the potential legal exposure.

然后是潜在的法律曝光。

“Thorchain’s decentralised nature does not fully insulate it from the legal ramifications of facilitating illicit transactions,” Yuriy Brisov, a partner at crypto legal consulting firm D&A Partners, told DL News.

加密法律咨询公司D＆A Partners的合伙人Yuriy Brisov告诉DL News：“ Thorchain的分散性质并没有使其与促进非法交易的法律影响完全隔离。”

Privacy protocol Tornado Cash showed what can happen when authorities try to enforce sanctions in crypto.

There’s no indication that Thorchain or its node operators are under investigation in any jurisdiction for its role in handling proceeds from the Bybit hack.

没有任何迹象表明，胸切chain或其节点运营商正在调查任何司法管辖区，因为其在处理Bybit Hack的收益中的作用。

But if the authorities responsible for enforcing sanctions decided to make a move, they could go after node operators — many of whom are publicly known and reside in the US.

但是，如果负责执行制裁的当局决定采取行动，他们可以追随节点运营商 - 其中许多人是公开知名的，并居住在美国。

Those who chose to keep the network running despite it handling hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transactions for North Korea, onchain records show.

Onchain Records显示，那些选择保持网络运行的人，尽管该网络为朝鲜处理价值数亿美元的交易。

The Bybit heist has already become the stuff of crypto lore given its scale and the brazenness of the laundering operation that occurred in its immediate aftermath.

鉴于它的规模以及在其直接的后果发生的洗钱行动的规模和夸张的行动，Bybit抢劫案已经成为加密货币的知识。

About 100 volunteer operators run the Thorchain network and process transactions.

To make changes which would stop Lazarus Group from using Thorchain, a majority of these node operators have to agree on taking action.

为了做出更改，这将阻止拉撒路集团使用胸骨，大多数这些节点操作员必须同意采取行动。

On February 26, five days after the Bybit hack, some of Thorchain’s node operators paused trading on its Ethereum version, which Lazarus was primarily using, a Thorchain developer who wished to remain anonymous, told DL News.

2月26日，托兰chain的一些节点运营商在其以太坊版本上停下了贸易，拉撒路主要使用的是，托兰的节点运营商暂停了交易。

But within 30 minutes the pause was overturned by other node operators who wanted to keep the network running.

但是在30分钟内，停顿被其他节点操作员推翻，他们希望保持网络运行。

Conversations in the Thorchain Discord — a messaging app — show a divide between node operators who wanted to pause the network and those who did not.

Thorchain Discord中的对话（一个消息传递应用程序）显示了想要暂停网络的节点操作员与没有网络的节点操作员之间的鸿沟。

It’s not the first time Thorchain’s node operators shut off the network. In January, they temporarily paused the network’s lending markets to avoid insolvency.

这不是Thorchain的节点操作员第一次关闭网络。一月份，他们暂时暂停了网络的贷款市场，以避免破产。

Thorchain is decentralised and has no central point of authority — it comprises individual operators similar to Bitcoin or Ethereum. Many of its operators and supporters say the chain has no responsibility to decide who can or cannot use it.

Thorchain是分散的，没有中心的权威点 - 它包括类似于比特币或以太坊的个人操作员。它的许多运营商和支持者表示，该连锁店不责任决定谁可以或不能使用它。

As a result, there is no one who can comment on behalf of the network.

结果，没有人可以代表网络发表评论。

“Node operators on Thorchain are not unlike node operators on other chains,” John-Paul Thorbjornsen, a prominent Thorchain community member who was part of the network’s original developer team, told DL News.

“ Thorchain上的节点运营商与其他连锁店的节点运营商没有什么不同，”著名的Thorchain社区成员John-Paul Thorbjornsen是该网络原始开发人员团队的一部分，他告诉DL News。

“They are not there to form an opinion on who should use the chain.”

“他们不在那里就谁应该使用链条形成意见。”

After the pause was reversed, Pluto, a pseudonymous Thorchain developer who backed the pause, stepped away from the project.

停顿后，冥王星是冥王星，他是胸胸开发人员，他支持停顿，脱离了该项目。

Pluto did not respond to a request for comment.

冥王星没有回应置评请求。

Thorbjornsen said node operators aren’t worried about legal action. They can now run a patch to filter out sanctioned crypto addresses, he

Thorbjornsen说，节点运营商并不担心法律行动。他们现在可以运行一个补丁以过滤批准的加密地址，他
