The Blockchain Association called the U.S. Treasury Department’s decision to sanction Tornado Cash “unprecedented and unlawful” in a new amicus brief it filed with DeFi Education Fund.
The Treasury Department last year sanctioned Tornado Cash, the open-source software that can be used to anonymize transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. The move was met with pushback by crypto advocates, including the Washington, D.C. policy nonprofit Coin Center, which ຍື່ນຟ້ອງ against the Treasury Department over the sanctions.
The Blockchain Association, a crypto advocacy group in D.C., filed a legal brief in support of Coin Center’s case this week, alongside DeFi Education Fund, a nonpartisan research and advocacy group.
"ມັນເປັນສິ່ງສໍາຄັນທີ່ຈະຮັບຮູ້ວ່າ Tornado Cash ແມ່ນພຽງແຕ່ເຄື່ອງມື - ການລົງໂທດເຄື່ອງມືຕົວມັນເອງເພາະວ່າມັນສາມາດນໍາໃຊ້ໄດ້ໂດຍທຸກຄົນ, ລວມທັງນັກສະແດງທີ່ບໍ່ດີ, ກົງກັນຂ້າມກັບຄຸນຄ່າທີ່ປະເທດນີ້ຖືກສ້າງຕັ້ງຂຶ້ນ," Kristin Smith CEO ຂອງສະມາຄົມ Blockchain ກ່າວໃນກອງປະຊຸມ. ຖະແຫຼງການ.
"ສະມາຄົມ Blockchain ຢືນຢູ່ກັບສູນ Coin, ສະຫນັບສະຫນູນການນໍາໃຊ້ເຕັກໂນໂລຢີ blockchain ທີ່ຮັບຜິດຊອບແລະຖືກຕ້ອງຕາມກົດຫມາຍ. ການປະຕິບັດກົດລະບຽບຄວນຈະຖືກເປົ້າຫມາຍພຽງແຕ່ຜູ້ສະແດງທີ່ບໍ່ດີທີ່ລ່ວງລະເມີດເຄື່ອງມືນີ້ເພື່ອຈຸດປະສົງທີ່ຜິດກົດຫມາຍ,” Smith ເວົ້າຕື່ມ.
Crypto exchange Coinbase is backing ກໍລະນີອື່ນ targeting the department over the sanctions. The Blockchain Association has also filed an amicus ຫຍໍ້ in that case. Both lawsuits argue that the government overstepped its authority by targeting software, rather than an individual or entity, among other issues.
