THORChain cannot censor individual transactions or freeze assets stolen in hacks because the protocol lacks the underlying code functionality to do so. According to CBarraford, the decentralized exchange's architecture makes wallet-level censorship technically impossible. The statement clarifies that THORChain's design prevents any entity from intervening in specific transfers, even when funds originate from exploits. This inherent limitation stems from the protocol's codebase, which does not include mechanisms for transaction filtering or asset freezing at the individual level.
