**[Privacy Pools Launches New Tool for Tornado Cash, Allowing Users to Stay Anonymous While Avoiding Links to Illicit Funds]** According to a report by Jinse Finance, the Privacy Pools team, 0xbow, has introduced a tool called "Proof of Association" for Tornado Cash users. This tool enables users to maintain anonymity while dissociating their funds from illegal activities. The system uses zero-knowledge technology to verify whether withdrawal addresses are linked to known illicit addresses and records legitimate users in a public registry without exposing personal information. Currently, the blacklist includes over 16,000 addresses associated with theft, hacking, or phishing. The team stated that this marks an important step in balancing user privacy and regulatory compliance, providing a practical model for future interoperability between privacy and compliance.
