Should Crypto Projects Be Expected to Compensate Users After a Hack?
When a security exploit causes financial losses, users often expect the project to help them recover their funds. Yet responsibility is not always straightforward: the vulnerability might involve a third-party protocol, an external bridge, or a user-side mistake. Projects should establish clear incident-response and compensation policies before problems occur, rather than making decisions under pressure. A project’s willingness to take responsibility during a crisis should be considered part of its credibility, not simply a public-relations exercise.
