Nothing says immutable like a scheduled rewrite that zeros five wallets and tops up the exchanges.
About 70.49M $POL is stuck in attacker addresses after the late-October Polymarket and Binance hits. Validators already froze the senders. That stopped the bleed. It didn't return the money.
So the PIP on the table: one-time hard fork. Zero five balances. Credit verified recovery wallets. Supply unchanged. Just a polite state edit for the parties that got drained.
Winners if it ships: Binance (~46.63M) and Polymarket (~23.86M). Loser of the principle: anyone still quoting "code is law" with a straight face. The chain keeps the same POL count. It just picks who holds it.
If immutability only holds until a CEX opens a forum thread, what exactly was the settlement guarantee?
