The largest service for connecting crypto wallets to decentralized applications, WalletConnect, has blocked users from the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The service has been criticized for violating the principles of decentralization. Over the past 24 hours, the protocol has blocked all users from Russia and some regions of Ukraine. People who are blacklisted are shown the message “Error 1009: access denied.” WalletConnect CEO Pedro Gomes said the reason for the blockage was the need to comply with the recommendations of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
