On Saturday Tron’s co-founder Justin Sun tweeted that Aave blocked his account after someone anonymously sent him 0.1 ETH from Tornado Cash.
For the uninitiated, the US government has recently imposed a sanction on Tornado cash, the mixing token that enables untraceable Ethereum transactions.
The government further claimed that it would continue keeping an eye on mixers and take any action if required. However, the sanction fails to explore the grey area which makes it technically ‘impossible’ to ban users from sending funds via Tornado Cash to random accounts.
Recently, someone gifted 0.1 ETH to American celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Logan Paul as a potent protest towards the sanction introduced on Tornado Cash, and further implications.
Aave responded that they had recently integrated TRM’s API to the platform’s IPFS front-end and hence, some users couldn’t access their Aave app.
The integration helps in identifying wallets that have communicated with Tornado Cash contracts after the sanctions. But, the API made ‘incorrect calls’ and blocked wallets that received ETH from the mixer contracts without their consent.
Aave further concluded that they have resolved the issue and Sun and other users have regained their access.
