Posts like this make me just want to completely stop building things. Yes, the incident was 100% an exploit, by definition - i.e. "taking advantage of a flaw in a system". The fact that it was an exploit does not in any way imply blame. The flaw was clearly the team's fault - mostly my fault, in this case.
The flaw also was much less a result of low liquidity as it was the result of too short of an average time period for the price feed. Additionally, creating bridges to more chains does not create more liquidity. There could have been bridges to 100 different chains but that doesn't mean that anyone would have added liquidity on those. Either way, I am sorry that the team is not working fast enough for you.
Despite that there was a flaw, it is in no way "throwing whales under the bus" by saying that we are disappointed that certain people chose to exploit the flaw rather than work with us to address it.
It is going to take a long time for the team to build trust again.
Really? We've only been taking crap like this from people like you for nearly 5 years now while doing everything we can to build awesome products and increase the value and utility of player assets and now it will "take a long time for us to build trust again" because there was a flaw in the system very early on that will have a nearly insignificant effect on anyone in the community in the long run?
If that's how you feel I have no idea why you haven't sold all of your assets and moved on already.
