Dramatiskā atgriešanās, Cetus Protokols, vadošais decentralizētais apmaiņas (DEX) uz Sui blockchain, oficiāli ir atsācis darbību un veic drosmīgu pāreju uz atvērtā koda modeli. Šis solis sekoja vienam no lielākajiem izsistieniem DeFi vēsturē, kur uzbrucēji novirzīja vairāk nekā 220 miljonus dolāru no tās likviditātes baseiniem.

💥 Izsistiena, kas šokēja Sui

22. maijā Cetus tika pakļauts sarežģītam uzbrukumam, kas mērķēja uz ievainojamību tās CLMM (koncentrētā likviditātes tirgus veidotāja) gudrajos līgumos. Trūkums bija saistīts ar veseluma pārspriegumu, kas ļāva uzbrucējam manipulēt ar cenu mehānismiem.

Tension escalates once again in the most controversial case in the crypto ecosystem. U.S. federal prosecutors have officially requested that the judge not acquit Roman Storm, the developer of Tornado Cash, the cryptocurrency mixer accused of facilitating large-scale money laundering. According to CoinDesk, the government insists that Storm is not an innocent programmer caught up in a political fight: he is, according to them, a conscious actor who allowed criminal groups and sanctioned entities to take advantage of the protocol to hide billions.

📖CoinDesk reports that prosecutors filed a forceful brief arguing that the judge should not acquit Roman Storm of the charges he faces for his role in the operation of Tornado Cash. The defense previously requested an early acquittal, arguing that the government is attempting to criminalize code writing and punish a developer for actions he did not directly control. But the Justice Department's response was firm: the case, according to them, is not about code, but about conduct.
In their filing, prosecutors insisted that Roman Storm played an active role in creating and maintaining a system that “predictably and repeatedly” allowed the laundering of funds linked to North Korea-backed hackers, including the notorious Lazarus group. The government argued that Tornado Cash was not a simple autonomous protocol: it included elements of control, updates, governance decisions, and operations managed directly by its developers. Therefore, they argue that Roman Storm “knew exactly what he was facilitating.”
The defense, for its part, argues that the government is reinterpreting how the protocol works to fit its accusations. Roman Storm's lawyers emphasize that Tornado Cash is decentralized software, published as open source, and that their client did not have the ability to prevent malicious users from interacting with it. They attempted to have the judge dismiss the charges before trial, but prosecutors responded that there is sufficient evidence to proceed.
This case has sparked a deep debate throughout the crypto ecosystem. For many analysts, the future of on-chain privacy—and possibly all open-source software related to cryptography—is being put on trial with the Tornado Cash case. The government's position suggests that publishing tools that can be used for crimes could become a criminal liability, a precedent that worries developers, academics, and digital rights activists.
CoinDesk notes that the case remains one of the most watched of the year, especially after one of the co-creators, Alexey Pertsev, was convicted in Europe under different standards. Roman Storm's fate now depends on the judge's analysis of whether the protocol constitutes simply code or whether prosecutors can prove that there was criminal intent behind its design and maintenance.

Topic Opinion:
There is concern that criminalizing open source sets a precedent that severely limits innovation and research in privacy. Criminal liability should be based on actions, not tools. However, it is also clear that governments cannot ignore that mixers such as Tornado Cash have been used for illicit activities.
💬 Do you think Roman Storm should be held responsible for how third parties used his code?
