It has over 9,000 members according to data from DeepDAO but only 163 members are active participants in its governance activities according to SnapShot data. One of these active participants introduced a proposal titled “Saving Tornado Cash: Formally Challenging the US Treasury's Sanctions.” The proposer advised the DAO to raise funds on behalf of Tornado Cash and hire a legal team to fight the sanctions.
