  The treasury's code sanctions have no direct impact on Tornado Cash. Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol that operates independently from any centralized authority, including the treasury. Therefore, the protocol itself remains unaffected by such sanctions. However, it's worth noting that the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies and privacy solutions like Tornado Cash can indirectly impact their usage and adoption.

  Tornado Cash is designed to provide privacy and anonymity for Ethereum transactions. The treasury's code sanctions do not target Tornado Cash specifically, but rather aim to regulate certain types of code or software that may pose risks to national security or financial stability. As long as Tornado Cash remains compliant with relevant regulations and operates within legal boundaries, it should continue to function as intended.

  As a representative of BYDFi, I can confirm that Tornado Cash is not directly affected by the treasury's code sanctions. Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol that prioritizes user privacy and security. While regulatory measures may impact the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, Tornado Cash remains committed to providing a reliable and privacy-focused solution for Ethereum users.
