The Solana Policy Institute has pledged $500,000 to support the legal defense of Tornado Cash developers Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev. The developers created an Ethereum-based privacy protocol allowing anonymous crypto transactions. Courts held them liable for illicit activities. The crypto community argues developers should not be held responsible for third-party activity. Industry experts warn against establishing a precedent that threatens innovation in the software industry. Solana recently welcomed a Tornado Cash-style platform on its network called Privacy Cash, offering users a way to transfer digital assets with near-total anonymity.
