I have been thinking for a while about the issue of anonymity in Web3 (and, more in general, anonymous transactions).

I collected my thoughts here: https://gagliardoni.net/#20250427_privacy_compliance

Spoiler alert: I'm not endorsing backdoors, but I think some middleground solution must be found.

US removes sanctions against Tornado Cash crypto mixer

The U.S. Department of Treasury announced today that it has removed sanctions against the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer, which North Korean Lazarus hackers used to launder hundreds of millions stolen in multiple crypto heists.

News Update:
The US Gov have lifted the sanctions on #TornadoCash.

To be able to prevent malicious actors from cashing out their ill-gotten gains without compromising on #decentralisation would be beneficial for #Crypto, but that's probably not possible.
