Bybit’s Lazarus Security Lab has released a report after analyzing 166 blockchain networks, revealing that 16 have built-in fund freezing capabilities, while another 19 could enable such features with minimal protocol modifications. The mechanisms vary across networks — from hardcoded logic in BNB Chain and VeChain to configuration file controls in Sui and Aptos, and on-chain contract execution in HECO — raising concerns over decentralization and censorship resistance.
