当犯罪分子利用罪犯时，Defi可以保持中立吗？

Thorchain是一项著名的分散财务（DEFI）协议，是关于权力下放，治理和刑事剥削的激烈辩论的中心。

Prominent decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol THORChain is being heavily used by the Lazarus Group, a North Korean cybercriminal syndicate, to launder funds stolen from Bybit exchange, according to blockchain analytics firm Crystal Intelligence.

根据区块链分析公司Crystal Intelligence的说法，根据区块链分析公司Crystal Intelligence的说法，北朝鲜网络犯罪集团Lazarus Group大量使用了著名的分散金融（DEFI）方案胸部，以从Bybit Exchange偷来的洗钱。

Out of the $1.4 billion stolen from Bybit in March, about 361,255 ETH, or 72% of the total funds, were laundered through THORChain, rendering it the top service used by the hackers for converting stolen Ethereum into Bitcoin (BTC).

在3月从拜比特（Bybit）偷来的14亿美元中，大约361,255张ETH，占总资金的72％，通过Thorchain洗钱，使其成为黑客将被盗以太坊转换为比特币（BTC）的最高服务。

The remaining funds were laundered through other services, including Uniswap and OKX DEX, but the majority of funds flowed through THORChain, making it a focal point for scrutiny.

剩下的资金通过其他服务（包括Uniswap和Okx Dex）洗钱，但大多数资金流经Thorchain，使其成为审查的重点。

"It's interesting to see how the Lazarus Group prioritized services for optimal laundering. They used a variety of platforms but favored specific ones heavily. For instance, they chose to use THORChain for the majority of ETH to BTC swaps and Union Bank for BTC to fiat transactions," said Federico Paesano, investigations lead at Crystal Intelligence.

“有趣的是，Lazarus集团如何优先使用最佳洗涤服务的服务。他们使用了各种平台，但对特定的平台非常喜欢。例如，他们选择将Thorchain用于大多数ETH将BTC交换和联合银行用于BTC进行FIAT交易。”

"They also used mixers such as Tornado Cash but not to the extent one might expect, suggesting a preference for platforms that offer direct cross-chain swaps and fiat outflows."

“他们还使用了诸如龙卷风现金之类的搅拌机，但不希望人们期望，这表明偏爱提供直接的跨链掉期和菲亚特流出的平台。”

Earlier this week, three THORChain validators attempted to halt ETH trading on the platform in a bid to block the Lazarus Group’s transactions. However, four validators quickly voted against the proposal to disable ETH trading on Thursday.

本周早些时候，三名Thrchain验证者试图在平台上停止ETH交易，以阻止Lazarus集团的交易。但是，四个验证者迅速投票反对周四禁用ETH交易的提案。

This move sparked heated debate within the THORChain community, with some members arguing that the protocol should not be used to commit unlawful acts.

这一举动引发了胸腔社区中激烈的辩论，一些成员认为该协议不应被用来实施非法行为。

"It's ironic how quickly the community mobilizes when there's a threat of insolvency but remains largely indifferent to such a large-scale cybercrime," said one community member. "North Korean hackers are stealing billions, and yet we're discussing transaction throughput as if it were a pressing matter."

一位社区成员说：“具有讽刺意味的是，当有破产的威胁时，社区动员的速度迅速，但在很大程度上仍然对如此大规模的网络犯罪漠不关心。” “朝鲜黑客正在窃取数十亿美元，但我们正在讨论交易吞吐量，好像这是一个紧迫的事情。”

Another community member added that the fact that four validators voted against disabling ETH trading shows that THORChain is still too centralized and that it is ultimately up to the community to decide what happens.

另一位社区成员补充说，四个验证者投票反对禁用ETH交易的事实表明，Thorchain仍然太集中了，最终取决于社区来决定发生了什么。

"If we want to be able to intervene in emergencies, we'll need 1,000+ unique validators on each chain who can quickly cooperate to shut down the network at the network level. Otherwise, we're limited in what we can do. Chainflip was able to prevent transactions at the network level, but we weren't able to."

“如果我们想能够干预紧急情况，我们将需要每个链上的1,000多个独特的验证器，这些链条可以快速合作以在网络级别关闭网络。否则，我们可以限制我们可以做的事情。ChainFlip能够防止网络级别的交易，但我们无法。”

However, several community members argued that it is not up to the protocol to decide which transactions should or should not be allowed and that doing so would be hypocritical, considering that the protocol has intervened in the past to pause lending due to insolvency risks.

但是，几个社区成员认为，考虑到该协议过去已经介入了由于破产风险而暂停贷款，因此决定应该或不允许哪些交易应该是虚伪的，这是虚伪的。

"We've paused lending due to insolvency and intervened when needed before. We're not some passive entity that can't make choices or take sides. But we also choose not to interfere in the past, and that's okay too," said one community member.

一位社区成员说：“由于破产，我们已经暂停了贷款，并在需要时进行干预。我们不是一个无法做出选择或支持的被动实体。但是我们也选择不干预过去，这也可以。”

"This chaotic scene is a testament to the fact that we're still too centralized to be considered fully autonomous. We're still learning and adapting, and it's a process that will take time. In the meantime, we'll continue to do what we can to protect the protocol and its users."

“这个混乱的场景证明了我们仍然太集中了，无法被认为是完全自主的。我们仍在学习和适应，这是一个需要时间的过程。与此同时，我们将继续竭尽所能保护协议及其用户。”

After three THORChain validators proposed shutting down ETH trading on the platform to block the Lazarus Group's transactions, another four validators voted against the proposal on Thursday.

在三个Thorchain验证者提议关闭该平台上的ETH交易以阻止Lazarus集团的交易之后，另外四名验证者在周四投票反对该提案。

The move comes after a large-scale hack on Bybit exchange saw North Korean hackers steal an estimated $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency.

此举是在Bybit Exchange的大规模黑客攻击之后，北朝鲜黑客窃取了大约14亿美元的加密货币。

Of the stolen funds, 72% were laundered through THORChain, rendering it the top service used by the hackers for converting stolen Ethereum into Bitcoin.

在被盗的资金中，有72％的人通过Thorchain洗钱，使其成为黑客将被盗以太坊转化为比特币的最高服务。

This makes THORChain a focal point for scrutiny as government agencies are increasingly targeting platforms linked to illicit activity.

这使得Thorchain成为审查的重点，因为政府机构越来越多地针对与非法活动相关的平台。

According to reports by Chainalysis, government agencies seized more than $3.8 billion in cryptocurrency from unlawful activity in 2022, and this figure is set to rise further in 2023.

根据链分析的报道，政府机构从2022年的非法活动中夺取了超过38亿美元的加密货币，这一数字将在2023年进一步上升。

However, despite the fact that the North Korean hackers' transactions are being tracked and their activity is common knowledge, no government agency has yet intervened to shut down the protocol or impose sanctions on it.

但是，尽管正在跟踪朝鲜黑客交易，并且他们的活动是常识，但尚无政府机构干预以关闭该协议或对其实施制裁。

Nevertheless, several community members expressed their annoyance at the fact that the protocol is becoming involved in a manner that could be viewed negatively by external parties.

然而，几个社区成员对该协议以可能被外部当事方负面看法的方式参与的事实表示烦恼。

"This pisses me off. Do we get ETH and BTC nodes to give back their transaction fees? What about GETH or BTCCore devs who write the software funded by grants/donations?" asked THORChain founder John-Paul Thorbjornsen.

“这让我很生气。我们是否会得到ETH和BTC节点回馈他们的交易费？Geth或Btccore Devs写了由赠款/捐赠资助的软件？” Thorchain的创始人John-Paul Thorbjornsen问。

"Centralized exchanges happily earn trading fees and prioritize liquid trades, engaging in money laundering optimization. They only act when threatened by regulators. We're not some fiat onramp; we're a decentralized chain capable of making choices."

“集中式交流愉快地赚取交易费用并确定液体交易的优先级，从事洗钱优化。它们只有在受监管机构的威胁时采取行动。我们不是菲亚特·伊利特（Fiat Onramp）；我们是一个能够做出选择的分散链。”
