On March 8th, the Snapshot governance page reported that the Arbitrum community put forth a proposal to offer legal support for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm and developer Alexey Pertsev. Tornado Cash is hailed as a crucial element of privacy and security in the cryptocurrency world, providing a trustworthy method for users to execute confidential transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. The objective of this proposal is two-fold- to provide robust legal defense for the individuals in question and to uphold the freedom of developers to contribute to the deployment of open-source software without hindrance. By garnering support for their legal fund, the intention is to safeguard the future of technology geared towards privacy, as well as overarching principles like innovation, decentralization, and individual autonomy within the cryptocurrency sector.
