I’ll ask just one last time, and if you don’t answer, then I’ll assume you’re specifically forbidden from doing so: what happens if tornado cash (or something like it) gets deployed to Base?

base is an open, decentralized, permissionless ethereum L2, running the same OSS OP Stack code as other chains (e.g. OP Mainnet, Zora Network) and providing consistent guarantees for users, developers, etc. we'll talking in a lot more details in the next few weeks as we come to mainnet — thanks for your patience!

This response is frustrating for many reasons. It doesn't answer the question at all, and it just isn't true. The long term goal may be decentralization (and the other stated properties which come _from_ it), it is not. Base has a centralized sequencer. CB has to comply. I can connect the dots. This was why I quit CB.

FWIW I think true permissionlessness is part of the draw of the OP “superchain” with shared sequencers

So long as those sequencers are individually operated and run by entities that find themselves forced to comply with outdated regulations, they will be forced to censor and trap funds. This is what bothers me so much — it’s crypto only in name.
