Ethereum is under attack as U.S. sanctions apply at a protocol level
The hope of a decentralized, open, free internet is in jeopardy right now. This is not hyperbole, FUD, or clickbait. Ethermine, the largest Ethereum mining pool, no longer produces blocks containing Tornado Cash transactions. This is likely due to OFAC sanctions and is an example of censorship at the protocol level.
Crypto analyst, Takens Theorem, discovered that Ethermine has stopped processing Tornado Cash transactions and presented the chart below. CryptoSlate reviewed on-chain data and confirmed that Ethermine had not produced a block that included a Tornado Cash transaction during the timeframe shown below. A review of the most recent Tornado Cash Router transactions showed that it was dominated by Hiveon, P2Pool, 2Miners, and others.
