Some RPC providers have started to censor even kind of requesting or kind of requesting state of a contract which in my view is crazy. So the sad reality is that yeah that those news simply caused panic I would say and I think in many cases projects completely overreacted. It's understandable that if there's uncertainty many decide to better be safe. In most cases you don't run your own Ethereum full node but instead you point to an external node.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Martin Köppelmann, Co-Founder of Gnosis discuss the OFAC sanctions against Tornado Cash and the impact this has had on builders in the community. They specifically focus on how the Tornado action helped reveal centralizing forces in Ethereum as well as the need for decentralization.
