The report identifies three distinct types of fund-freezing mechanisms:
Hardcoded freezing, built directly into the blockchain code (e.g., BNB Chain, VeChain)
Configuration-based freezing, managed through validator or foundation settings (e.g., Sui, Aptos)
On-chain contract freezing, executed via system contracts (e.g., HECO)
The study highlights several notable cases:
Sui froze $162 million in stolen assets after the Cetus hack.
Aptos later added blacklisting functions following the incident.
BNB Chain used hardcoded blacklists to contain a $570 million bridge exploit.
VeChain set an early precedent in 2019 by freezing funds from a $6.6 million breach.
Cosmos’s modular account design may enable similar interventions in the future.
These interventions demonstrate how fund-freezing functions can serve as emergency tools to protect users and mitigate damage in large-scale security breaches.
tldr; Bybit’s Lazarus Security Lab has revealed that 16 major blockchains have fund-freezing functions, with 19 others capable of implementing them with minor changes. The report highlights three types of freezing mechanisms and emphasizes their role in mitigating security breaches. Bybit advocates for transparency in blockchain governance, urging networks to disclose intervention capabilities. The study used AI-assisted detection and manual validation to analyze 166 blockchains, aiming to foster trust and better governance in the crypto industry.
