Griff Green, a member of the Arbitrum Security Council, emphasized the role of social consensus in blockchain operations during an interview on April 23, 2026. Green noted that contrary to popular belief, blockchains are not absolutely immutable but depend on community agreement to function. Drawing from his early experiences with DAO projects, he argued that any blockchain's rules can be altered if the community reaches a consensus. Green also highlighted Arbitrum's recent use of a multi-signature mechanism to address a crisis, marking the first instance of a major Layer 2 network proactively freezing funds. This move underscores the importance of community-driven decision-making in blockchain governance.
