Did Sanctioning Tornado Cash Work?

“We
find
direct
evidence
of
large
builders
switching
to
a
cooperative
posture
following
the
ruling,
giving
credence
to
the
idea
that
clarity
around
regulation
is
a
pivotal
factor
to
determining
whether
to
cooperate,”
the
paper
said.
“With
the
ruling,
we
find
two
builders
responsible
for
over
half
of
the
non-cooperative
blocks,
pointing
to
significant
dependence
on
a
few
players
to
facilitate
the
settlement
of
Tornado
Cash
transactions.
This
heavy
dependence
on
a
few
builders
reveals
a
surprising
level
of
fragility
in
the
censorship-resistance
of
Ethereum.”
