The percentage of censored transactions on Ethereum fell to 47%
Guided by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), some validators are now censoring transactions on the Ethereum network. Last November, the percentage of OFAC-compliant blocks peaked at 79%, but now that figure has dropped to 47%.
This doesn't mean that some validators have moved to El Salvador and do not give a rat's tail about the OFAC. Blockchain consulting firm Labrys believes the decline may stem from more validators using the MEV-boost relay, which allows them to circumvent OFAC sanctions.
Indeed, the community, which decided to fight censorship, also made a difference.
