Ethereum’s recent anonymization protocol, Tornado.cash, has launched intelligent contracts that are completely immutable, making the protocol „unstoppable“ as of May 21.

While the project has extolled the virtues of immutability and declared that „the code is law,“ many within the Ethereum community (ETH) are advising against depositing funds into the protocol.

Tornado.cash opts for complete immutability
Tornado points out that „there are pros and cons“ of his dedication to immutability, declaring as positive virtues of the protocol the greater decentralization and the inability to alter intelligent contracts.

However, the developers admit that „the Tornado.cash team is not capable of protecting users from errors anymore either. In the post announcing the transition to full immutability, the company also recommends that users consider seeking insurance coverage for their funds.

Despite having taken their hands off the Tornado.cash protocol version, its developers will turn their attention to building the next major version of the project, hoping to „replicate Zcash’s features on the Ethereum’s main network.

Cryptanalyst David Gerard criticized Tornado.cash’s fixation with immutability, describing the protocol as „an easy target for attackers, where security holes literally cannot be fixed“.

„It seems the developers of the Ethereum have already forgotten the first really huge disaster of the Ethereum, the DAO,“ Gerard added.

In response to comments on Reddit, the project’s website has since been given a warning that alerts potential users that it is „experimental software“ that should be „used at your own risk“.
