"Not even a single TX has been censored on ETH" - Founder of Cyber ​​Capital

Bons noted that even with 50% OFAC compliance among Ethereum validators, blocks will still be produced within 30 seconds.

Ethereum bulls have hit back at claims that the network became subject to censorship after the merger, with one claiming that "not even a single" transaction was censored on the network.

In a 19-part thread to his 29,100 subscribers on Oct. 17, Cyber ​​Capital Founder and Chief Investment Officer Justin Bons argued that contrary to "what some Bitcoiners falsely claim ", no transactions on Ethereum have been stopped because of the sanctions of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Bons was referring to recent reports suggesting that Ethereum has become too dependent on OFAC-compliant Miner Extractable Value (MEV)-Boost relays since the merger.

Last week, it was reported that over 51% of Ethereum blocks are now compliant with US sanctions after transitioning to proof-of-stake (PoS).

The crypto fund manager argued that despite the growing presence of OFAC-compliant MEV-Boost Relays, it only becomes censorship when producers refuse to build on non-compliant blocks, although this would result in a bifurcation and splitting of the chain, explaining:

"Even with 50% OFAC compliance, a non-compliant ETH TX will be confirmed within 30 seconds! Compared to BTC's more variable 10min!
