BloXroute Labs, a major producer of censorship-resistant blocks on Ethereum, has reversed its stance and announced it will start censoring OFAC-sanctioned blocks across all of its Maximal Extraction Value (MEV) relays.
The decision to censor these blocks is to comply with local laws.
This move was seen as a blow to Ethereum censorship resistance.
A block is deemed an "OFAC transaction" if it interacts with a wallet that has been sanctioned by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).
