zkSNACKs restricts U.S.users access to Wasabi Wallet
๐ฅ zkSNACKs, the company behind the open-source Bitcoin wallet Wasabi, has indefinitely blocked ๐บ๐ธ U.S. users from accessing its services, including the wallet, APIs, and RPC interfaces.
The block is enforced through an IP address ๐ฅ firewall, preventing users in the U.S. and its territories from visiting its websites or downloading its products.
๐ The company cited "recent announcements by U.S. authorities" as the reason for this action. This decision follows the ๐ฎ arrest of the founders of Samourai Wallet, another privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet, which officials claim facilitates money ๐งบ laundering.
๐ค The specifics of the policy change were not detailed in zkSNACKs' announcement.#BTC #Token2049
