Alpen says AI identified Liquid’s $320M BTC exploit in an hour. Could a payout limit have stopped it?

Alpen claims its AI system detected the $320 million Bitcoin exploit affecting Liquid within an hour, highlighting the potential for automated monitoring to identify anomalous transactions quickly. The incident also underscores that detection alone may not prevent losses once an attacker gains control of withdrawal systems. A configurable payout limit or delayed, human-approved transfers could potentially have contained the damage, though such controls would not eliminate all attack vectors.
