253 Addresses Were Blocked

Also, the file stated that the 253 addresses have been blocked by Uniswap via TRM over the four-month partnership. It was noted that addresses involved were only the ones related to fraud or scams.

“Uniswap has provided an unusual level of transparency,” Banteg said regarding “frontend censoring via TRM Labs”.

According to the tweet,  30 out of 253 blocked addresses, or around 12%, have an associated ENS (Ethereum Name Service) domain name. Most are likely legitimate users that have fallen to TRM collateral damage.

According to Banteg, “Both ownership and being a counterparty of a ‘bad’ address are checked and can contribute to blocking.

According to the software engineer at Uniswap, the following categories are the TRM basis of verification while working on addresses:

  • Child sexual abuse material
  • Hacked or stolen funds
  • Known hacker group
  • Mixer
  • Sanctions
  • Scam
  • Terrorist financing
