Developer Dilemma: After the Tornado Cash case, can the US truly protect blockchain innovators?

【Crypto World】Solana ecosystem policy research机构发布声明，争取软件开发者的法律保护——原因是Tornado Cash的开发者Roman Storm被判有罪。

机构负责人Kristin Smith和Miller Whitehouse-Levine直言，Storm的遭遇不是个案，这是在问美国政府到底还支不支持开放创新。参议院正在推进的《区块链监管确定性法案》已经写进去了——非托管软件开发者不应该被当作资金传输者，这很关键。

社区的反应很快。为Storm的法律防护已经募集超过630万美元。以太坊的Vitalik Buterin等业内大佬也都公开站出来支持。这场风波背后，其实是整个加密行业在争一个基本问题：创新和合规之间的边界到底在哪儿。

Developers are really having a tough time this time. Writing code even leads to losing money and lawsuits...

ngl this whole storm situation is technically a regulatory shitshow. the real question isn't whether code is speech—it's whether the us government even understands what non-custodial software *fundamentally* means. they're prosecuting abstractions at this point lmao

Bro, this verdict is truly outrageous. Developers can go to jail just for writing code? Who would dare to innovate like this?
