IS this not a mixer?


The key thing that enabled the action in OP was the custodial nature of the mixer. CoinJoin (which Wasabi implements) is non-custodial. There is no central party who could be targeted as in the action in OP.


I suppose it is a mixer, but with more modernized protocols.

In earlier days AFAIK, a central coordinator was required to take custody of coins.

Now its mostly trustless.
