It’s not ~22 TPS, it’s ~60 TPS, for you otherwise can’t compare your number with other blockchains: TPS in blockchain comparisons need to use the native token transfer, as it’s the simplest transaction you can make in any blockchain. Any other measure of transaction means you’re mixing your measure of blockchain efficiency with a measure of blockchain transaction complexity.
The TornadoCash dev who got arrested isn’t “the founder” but just one dev and not even among the ones who were officially doxxed beforehand for TC. The TC founders are still freely roaming the Earth, notably.
ETH 2.0 is deprecated terminology.
Talking about percentage of OFAC compliant blocks requires to be explicit about something: validators do use several relays, among which some are OFAC compliant and some aren’t. And many validators seem to simply choose the most profitable block they receive from their relays rather than the OFAC compliant blocks whatever the profit they receive from it. It just happens that, for the moment, most of the most profitable blocks also are OFAC compliant blocks.
But if you were to shift the definition of what an OFAC compliant transaction means to broaden the meaning, you’d have two consequences:
-
more validators would potentially consider the risk of meddling with the network as too impactful and prefer to choose OFAC non compliant blocks;
-
validators who seek profitability first (probably most validators, since profit-seeking is the assumption in decentralized blockchain to ensure the network has all incentives well aligned) would see OFAC compliant blocks contain less and less profitable transactions compared to OFAC non compliant ones and see a shift from most profitable blocks being OFAC compliant to being OFAC non compliant.
So, the 72% figure is heavily impacted by how many transactions are censored in general. In your hypothesis of all DeFi transactions being censored, it would become obvious most of the profitable blocks would be OFAC non compliant, which would drastically reduce the percentage of OFAC compliant blocks.
So, personally, adding to that the fact there are solutions like PBS being currently developped, I’m not worried at all.
Edit: great read nonetheless.
