The decentralized network Oasis.app has prohibited access for sanctioned wallet addresses, potentially putting the platform’s money and deposits at danger. The DeFi application will no longer be accessible to those addresses.
Users of sanctioned addresses were urged to get in touch with their relevant underlying protocol by Oasis.app in a message posted on the Discord server.
In accordance with the announcement, Oasis.app sanctioned access to these addresses after purportedly discovering their connection to dubious activities such Russian internet users’ attempts to circumvent sanctions.
A member of the oasis.app team stated “We’ve recently needed to update the Terms of Service of the Oasis.app front-end to comply with the relevant laws and regulations. In line with the latest regulations, Oasis.app has an updated Terms of Service. Any sanctioned addresses will no longer be able to access Oasis.app functionality.”
In addition to these penalties, Oasis.app has taken a strict position against wallets that have a history of transactions with cryptocurrency mixers like Tornado Cash.
One of the most popular layer one proof-of-stake smart contract platforms for DeFi borrowing and lending is Oasis Network. Around $3.42 billion in deposits are being held by the protocol.
Numerous protocols are taking steps and safeguards to protect their networks from such exploitation in the face of an increase in cyberattacks on defi platforms. Similar steps were recently taken by the controversial protocol Uniswap to restrict suspect cryptocurrency wallets by taking into account data from the blockchain analysis company TRM Labs.
