It happened! The Tornado Cash fork!
posted 3 Mar 2023
Ameen Soleimani, one of the first contributors to the scandalous Tornado Cash crypto mixer, has announced the launch of a new mixing service called Primacy Pools, which is based on the TC code.
Now, every hacker and criminal will have a chance to demonstrate that they are not engaging in any malicious activity (but not for sure). What is clear is that honest users will be able to prove that they have not committed fraud and are therefore legitimately using the privacy-enhancing service.
Predictably, the new service uses zero-knowledge proof, which is the main trend of 2023. It is a protocol that confirms information without disclosing it.
Your move, SEC!
