Restricting assets with Flags enabled inside Aquarius
Aquarius proposes restricting assets with Stellar flags (AUTH_REQUIRED, AUTH_REVOCABLE, AUTH_CLAWBACK_ENABLED) that give issuers control over user wallets. The two-stage approach blocks flagged assets immediately, then allows case-by-case community review via governance.
Aquarius governance proposal addresses a critical user protection issue: assets with Stellar flags enabled allow issuers to revoke trustlines and claw back tokens without user consent. A recent incident where an issuer sold an asset then revoked the buyer's access prompted this proposal. Aquarius would immediately block flagged assets from its protocol, then establish a governance process for case-by-case exceptions (e.g., legally-required flags). This protects incoming users ahead of Soroban AMM launch while preserving legitimate compliant assets through community vote.
