Solana co-founder toly: A foundational stablecoin should be constructed to only be frozen with court authorization

Solana co-founder toly commented on the controversy surrounding Circle's USDC freezing mechanism, stating that we need a base layer stablecoin that can only be frozen under a court order. If there are other factors that can freeze it besides authorization from a judge approved by the U.S. Senate, then it is not a true dollar stablecoin.

toly suggested that various protocols (such as Drift and Kamino) should issue wrapped stablecoins with their own freezing and unfreezing strategies on top of the base layer stablecoin, equipped with a security team truly responsible for handling hacking incidents, while having independent freezing and unfreezing strategies.

It is reported that after the recent hacking of the Drift protocol, Circle did not promptly freeze the stolen USDC. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's remarks about the "moral dilemma" and freezing policy have sparked widespread discussion in the community regarding the freezing mechanisms of centralized stablecoins.
