Blowfish Reviews

Clandestine and Arbitrary Suppression of Speech With Ties to the US Government

While Blowfish xyz claims to offer secure and trustworthy blocklist services for over 30 crypto wallets our experience as developers suggests otherwise Our Solana dapp was arbitrarily flagged as malicious and unsafe without clear evidence and we believe this may have been due to disagreement over the app s political nature rather than any genuine security concerns Upon appealing the decision Blowfish xyz required that we provide personal information on high-profile friends despite the fact that our team is already well-known award-winning and fully doxed within the crypto community Additionally we were told that our notoriety was insufficient leading to the impression that personal connections rather than factual review influence the appeal process Blowfish xyz has not been responsive to follow-up emails even though they re contracted by crypto wallets that adhere to GitHub s anti-discrimination standards This lack of oversight is concerning as third-party services like Blowfish xyz can influence app accessibility on a protocol level without recourse or transparency which challenges principles of free speech in crypto As of now there are over 10 000 similar complaints on GitHub highlighting a pattern of potentially arbitrary decisions affecting countless dapps across the blockchain space With Blowfish xyz as the de facto standard in the industry there are few alternatives and this concentration of power may limit true censorship resistance within crypto While their mission is understandable Blowfish xyz needs a more transparent and consistent process to better serve the blockchain community We believe they are a danger to the community worldwide and would urge others to ask hard questions before contracting with them Their behavior seems to contradict their stated mission and recent issues relating to arbitrary censorship have steeply increased without any resistance since they were entrusted by these projects to act fairly to reduce developer time spent on mundane daily security reviews
