On August 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) decided to sanction Ethereum-based cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash.
This app will tell you what Ethereum RPC providers decided to censor your transcations to Tornado's smart contracts, and which ones won't.
You can build this app for yourself, or you can download pre-compiled binaries for Windows or macOS.
This app will run a request for a U.S. Treasury-sanctioned smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain through each and every known provider. We need to assume all of them will log your IP address. Some of them will censor your transaction. Some of those censoring your transaction might block your API key from further usage. Worst case scenario and depending on your jurisdiction, you might incur in penalty or fines by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

- don’t use Tornado Nova. Only ever use Tornado Cash on Ethereum.
- don’t use tornadocash.eth because the hacker owns it and can point it to whatever he wants. Use the last audited UI on IPFS
The following malicious governance proposals compromised tornadocash.eth:
Don't use tornadocash.eth or tornadocash.eth.link. Only ever use the last audited UI on IPFS
Because the protocol itself is immutable and the admin key is 0x0, neither OFAC nor the hackers can take it down.
