@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

Serious question

What happens when the US government asks base(coinbase) to flag USDC of specific addresses?

circle runs USDC and has an explicit blacklisting policy in their terms of service: https://www.circle.com/en/legal/usdc-terms#:~:text=Blacklisting,permitted%20under%20the%20blacklisting%20policy.. it's the same on base as any other chain.

not exactly like all chains tbh. All chains don’t use a centralized sequencer

To be clear though, _any_ chain that uses USDC is (potentially) at risk of having transactions that are from blacklisted addresses censored.

All of the current OP Stack rollups have permissioned sequencers and could potentially censor withdrawals from their networks. The Fjord hard fork is coming Real Soon Now though and that will no longer be an issue at that point.

That’s where my other comment applies. Any OP Stack rollup is capable of censoring withdrawals for the time being.

I guess the responding question regarding base would be ok let’s swap USDC for ETH.

What would happen if the US gov asked base(coinbase) to blacklist those wallets
