Considering that protocol-level censorship is deterrent to the crypto ecosystem's goal of highly open and accessible finance, the community has been keeping track of Ethereum’s growing compliance with standards laid down by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Ethereum sporting 73% OFAC-compliant blocks.

Ethereum validators can reduce OFAC compliance by discarding relays in their MEV-Boost configuration that censor transactions, such as BloXroute Max Profit, BloxRoute Ethical, Manifold and Relayooor.
Compliance with OFAC allows the US government agency to enforce economic and trade sanctions.
Previously, the agency sanctioned Tornado Cash and several Ethereum addresses.
