A spokesperson for Wasabi Wallet told in a commentary to media that as part of the agreement, Trezor's users will be able to join zkSNACKs WabiSabi CoinJoin rounds with their hardware wallet in the Trezor Suite application.
The news comes amid heated debates about sanctioning cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash. Earlier in August, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned crypto mixer Tornado Cash for laundering over $7 billion worth of crypto since 2019.
OFAC claims that the smart contract helped North Korean hackers Lazarus Group launder $455 million of stolen crypto. Moreover, Tornado Cash reportedly helped launder over $96 million from the Harmony bridge heist as well as $7.8 million from the Nomad bridge hack.
