Erik Voorhees ជំរុញឱ្យសហគមន៍ MakerDAO ចាកចេញពីមុខតំណែង USDC បន្ទាប់ពីទណ្ឌកម្ម Tornado Cash

Shapeshift CEO and founder Erik Voorhees recommended the MakerDAO community take precautionary measures after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Tornado Cash.

Specifically, Voorhees advised MakerDAO users to remove their USDC collateral and convert the funds into another stablecoin. But he stopped short of advocating a more censorship-resistant choice.

នៅថ្ងៃទី ២ សីហានេះ រតនាគារសហរដ្ឋអាមេរិក issued a press release stating crypto mixer Tornado Cash was sanctioned due to its role in laundering illicit crypto funds worth over $7 billion since 2019. Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian E. Nelson said:

"ទោះបីជាមានការធានាជាសាធារណៈបើមិនដូច្នេះទេ Tornado Cash បានបរាជ័យម្តងហើយម្តងទៀតក្នុងការដាក់ការត្រួតពិនិត្យប្រកបដោយប្រសិទ្ធភាពដែលត្រូវបានរចនាឡើងដើម្បីបញ្ឈប់វាពីការលាងលុយកខ្វក់សម្រាប់តួអង្គតាមអ៊ីនធឺណិតដែលមានគំនិតអាក្រក់ជាប្រចាំនិងដោយគ្មានវិធានការជាមូលដ្ឋានដើម្បីដោះស្រាយហានិភ័យរបស់វា។"

The incident has given rise to discussion on governmental overreach and alternatives to centralized stablecoins.

The end of Tornado Cash

The Tornado Cash website is offline, its developers have been booted from GitHub, and Circle has បញ្ជីខ្មៅ USDC addresses owned by the organization following the sanctions.

Several months prior, Circle CEO លោក Jeremy Allaire dismissed claims that the company could freeze USDC accounts for whatever reason as FUD. He further countered by implying that entities operating within the law have nothing to fear.

មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលកាក់ issued a statement on the matter, saying sanctions against a tool, rather than a person or entity with agency, is a blow for people who wish to maintain their privacy, “including for otherwise entirely legal and personal reasons.”

“It appears, instead, to be the sanctioning of a tool that is neutral in character and that can be put to good or bad uses like any other technology.”

The point has been widely supported by members of the crypto community, who view the sanctions as an attack against personal sovereignty.

Big Brother កំពុងមើល

The founder of Bankless, រ៉ាយអាដាម, chimed in by calling the actions of the U.S. Treasury “the opening shot of big brother’s assault on crypto.”

នៅក្នុង tweet ក្រោយមក Adams បាន also posed the question, where will this end? Suggesting Uniswap could be next, then Ethereum — further insinuating a tiptoe to totalitarianism.

“If software isn’t safe, then speech isn’t.”

In response to USDC censorship, a researcher at NEAR Protocol DeFi platform Proximity, @resdegen, proposed the development of a new decentralized stablecoin free from governmental directives.

Resdegen considers Reflexer’s Rai and Liquidity’s LUSD 100% decentralized, but both are collateralized, which is disadvantageous scalability-wise. Resdegen suggested developing a new project which would be algorithmically pegged using BTC or ETH derivatives contracts.
