隨著上訴法院撤銷對不可變智能合約的製裁，龍捲風現金用戶贏得重大勝利

第五巡迴上訴法院的三名法官小組在 11 月 26 日的法律意見中表示，外國資產控制辦公室 (OFAC) 超越了其職權

A United States appeals court has ruled that the Treasury’s sanctions against crypto mixer Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts were unlawful.

美國上訴法院裁定，財政部對加密貨幣混合器 Tornado Cash 的不可變智能合約的製裁是非法的。

In a Nov. 26 legal opinion, a Fifth Circuit Appeals Court’s three-judge panel said the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) exceeded its authority in sanctioning Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts — reversing a lower court’s decision and granting the platform’s users a partial summary judgment.

在11 月26 日的法律意見書中，第五巡迴上訴法院的三名法官組成的小組表示，外國資產控制辦公室(OFAC) 在批准Tornado Cash 的不可變智能合約方面超出了其權限，推翻了下級法院的裁決，並授予該平台使用者部分權利。

The appeals court panel said that while the Treasury has the power to take action against “property,” Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts were not property under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as they can not be controlled or owned.

上訴法院小組表示，雖然財政部有權對「財產」採取行動，但 Tornado Cash 的不可變智能合約不屬於《國際緊急經濟權力法案》(IEEPA) 規定的財產，因為它們無法被控製或擁有。

“We hold that Tornado Cash’s immutable smart contracts (the lines of privacy-enabling software code) are not the “property” of a foreign national or entity, meaning (1) they cannot be blocked under IEEPA, and (2) OFAC overstepped its congressionally defined authority,” the trio of judges wrote.

“我們認為 Tornado Cash 的不可變智能合約（支援隱私的軟體程式碼行）不是外國人或實體的“財產”，這意味著 (1) 它們不能根據 IEEPA 被阻止，(2) OFAC 超越了其規定國會定義的權力，」三名法官寫道。

The IEEPA is a United States federal law enacted in 1977, giving the President authority to regulate and prohibit certain financial transactions.

IEEPA 是 1977 年頒布的美國聯邦法律，賦予總統監管和禁止某些金融交易的權力。

“In sum, they cannot be blocked under federal law,” Bill Hughes, a lawyer at Consensys, summarized on X. “They certainly can’t be blocked as an exercise of OFAC’s discretion.”

Consensys 律師 Bill Hughes 在 X 上總結道：“總而言之，根據聯邦法律，它們不能被阻止。當然不能因為 OFAC 行使自由裁量權而被阻止。”

However, Hughes noted that this does not mean Tornado Cash is in the clear.

然而，休斯指出，這並不意味著龍捲風現金是安全的。

“This does NOT mean that the rest of Tornado Cash is out of bounds for Treasury/OF

「這並不意味著龍捲風現金的其餘部分超出了財政部/OF的範圍
