Vitalik Buterin Donates to Cryptocurrency Developers

Another large donation came from Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the leading altcoin Ethereum (ETH).

According to Etherscan data, the vitalik.eth account belonging to Vitalik Buterin donated 30 ETH, which is worth approximately 113 thousand dollars according to current data, to Juicebox. Juicebox launched a campaign for the legal defense of Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm.

This duo was the developer of Tornado Cash, which serves as a mixer for cryptocurrency users. Tornado Cash has been blacklisted by the US government.

Juicebox's fund has raised 559.81 ETH from donors so far, worth $2.1 million.

At an event he attended in Berlin last week, Vitalik Buterin said that the request for prison sentences for Tornado Cash developers was "really unfortunate."
