Ooh more rsFIRO liquidity on ETH! Thanks!

🗣 We want to hear from the FiroFam!

The core team has opened a discussion on whether to reinstate an emergency switch. It's a safeguard that can pause Spark transactions during a suspected exploit, ongoing attack, or vulnerable transition period.

💡With the rapid advancement of AI and its potential to discover vulnerabilities faster than ever, having a rapid response mechanism matters more than ever. In the past, this switch has been used to mitigate damage when an implementation flaw was discovered in Lelantus.

🔒Security and decentralization both matter to us. That is why we're putting this to the community.
