Supporting privacy with new funding mechanisms

The Funding Coordination team and Keyring Network announced a joint initiative routing protocol fees from Keyring's zkVerified permissioned vaults on mainnet to the legal defense funds of Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, the Tornado Cash developers currently on trial for publishing open-source code. The fees go to these funds for the first two months, and the article says the model keeps the underlying protocol's economic efficiency intact. Community members can also create vault campaigns that send rewards to the same funds, which the article describes as an impact funding blueprint that could scale across the ecosystem.
