Uniswap exchange introduced restrictions for wallets

Representatives of the Uniswap cryptocurrency exchange announced the implementation of the Uniswap Restricting Wallets program. It involves restricting access to the platform for suspicious wallets that may be associated with fraud and other criminal activities. The management of the service stated that in this way they would stop any illegal actions on their own site.

The firm assured that they entered into a partnership agreement with TRM Labs, which is responsible for the safety and security of network data. The developers are integrating the ability to calculate suspicious wallets that may be associated with cybercriminals and will prevent them from accessing the decentralized platform.
