1. Soroban & EVM HTLC Contracts Lack Emergency Pause, Exposing User Funds to Post-Deployment Vulnerabilities
A critical security gap has been identified in the design of both Soroban and EVM-based Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs). The current implementation lacks any emergency pause mechanism, leaving user funds at immediate risk if a vulnerability is discovered after deployment. Without this capability, there is no way to h...
