Solana Policy Institute urges stronger legal protections for developers

The Solana Policy Institute, a non-profit organization focused on blockchain policy, is calling for stronger legal protections for software developers, The Block reported. The institute emphasized that the case of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm is not an isolated incident but a crucial test of whether the U.S. will continue to support innovation or drive developers out of the system. In August 2023, Storm was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and was convicted of operating an unlicensed money transmitter.
