Ethereum Foundation stated that it will donate $1.25 million to support the legal defense of Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev. The Ethereum Foundation emphasized in a statement: "Privacy is normal, writing code is not a crime." Alexey Pertsev is the developer of the privacy mixing protocol Tornado Cash, which allows users to conduct anonymous transactions on the blockchain. The Ethereum Foundation's move demonstrates its support for developer rights and the value of blockchain privacy, while also encouraging community members to provide additional donations for Pertsev's legal defense. Previously, Pertsev faced legal charges for developing Tornado Cash, sparking widespread discussions in the crypto community about code freedom and developer rights.
