We will always do whatever needs to be done to protect token holders on the network, securing the chain is our job. We were proponents of a middle ground - to have top 30-40 BPs cover the token holders from our inflation and wait until ECAF was operational so we did not overstep our boundaries.
At this time, BPs are effectively arbitrating against themselves and were only trying to do the right thing for token holders so their funds were not unstaked and liquidated by hackers. It is a very nuanced and difficult issue.
If ever presented with a choice, we will always protect token holders - even if it isn't the easy or popular choice. We ask that you reconsider the circumstances and understand the BPs handling this are doing everything they can do.
If ECAF can't respond within the next 24 hours, many are voting to unfreeze the tokens. I would add to that, if the tokens are not able to be recovered because of ECAf not being in place, perhaps some can come together and cover it themselves to make everyone whole.
The top 21 BPs agreed to freeze to wait for Arb, they have the power to do this if they all agree. And afterward they filed a claim on themselves to see if it was the right thing to do.
