Griff Green, a member of the Arbitrum Security Council, said blockchains are often misunderstood as fully immutable systems when they in practice depend on social consensus (community agreement on network rules). He linked that view to his early involvement with The DAO (a 2016 Ethereum-based venture fund run by smart contracts), describing it as his first project. His remarks point to a long-running industry debate over how blockchain networks balance code, governance, and community decision-making during critical events.
