Protocol Freedom Panel
summary
Panelists debate concrete defenses against sanctions and surveillance, citing Tornado Cash and OFAC as catalysts for fighting base layer neutrality. One project reports an over 90% volume drop after compliance, then open sources and runs the largest airdrop for FOX token to become a DAO. Other work includes a Cosmos-based Foxchain that lets anyone run Bitcoin RPC servers to avoid centralized points of failure, Nym-style node expansion for non‑traceable operations, and Secret Network integration to shield cross‑chain privacy.
