The developer of Tornado Cash, Alexey Pertsev, is out of prison. He revealed it himself today with a post on his personal X profile.
What is Tornado Cash
Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol for private anonymous transactions on Ethereum.
It is based on smart contracts that mix together multiple transactions from different users, making it extremely difficult to trace all the senders of the transactions.
It was launched in 2019 by a team of anonymous developers, but it ended up being the subject of several controversies, due to concerns regarding its potential use for illicit activities.
Against Tornado Cash, authorities from various countries, including the USA and the Netherlands, have spoken out, to the point that many users eventually stopped using it.
The social channels of the project have been inactive since the second half of 2022.
