Introduction

On August 8, 45 addresses were announced by the US Treasury to enter the sanctions list

According to the official report of the Treasury website, the following reasons have caused these sanctions

> The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on virtual currency mixer Tornado Cash, accusing it of helping hackers, including from North Korea, to launder proceeds from their cyber crimes.

In this analysis, I will take a deeper look at the following and with the help of ethereum data, we will draw tables and graphs that will help us in this review.

Using those addresses answer the following:

• How many addresses are still using the service despite the sanctions?

• Which addresses have been interacting the most with Tornado Cash?

• Break the addresses down by frequency and volume of tokens and describe how the groups are using the service differently.

• Is there anything else interesting about its users?

  \

In the following, we will take a look at these 45 announced addresses

addresses are still using the service despite the sanctions?

You can clearly see the impact of this news in the daily chart In this chart, after August 8, a big drop can be seen Also, in the pie chart, you can see which users had the most interactions with the addresses restricted by the Ministry of Treasury after the announcement of the blocking news. Also, in the first chart of this part, you can see the last date of transaction by these addresses

addresses have been interacting the most with Tornado Cash

In the previous part (pie diagram), we examined the most addresses that had the most transactions after the announcement of the blocking news.

In this section, we look a little deeper And in general, we will check which addresses (without time limit) had the most interactions with restricted addresses. The opposite line graph shows the amount and number of transactions of the top 10 addresses

addresses down by frequency and volume of tokens 

In general, 8 tokens have been sent to limited addresses The opposite table shows the dollar amount of each The number of each token sent my way can be seen in this line chart In the table below, you can see the number of Tornado top 20 tokens (not only the sanctioned ones).

Also, in the pie chart, you can see the total percentage of tokens based on volume This also chart is limited by banned addresses
