If community members vote to fund, they can choose various funding levels with 600,000 ARB worth about $1.28 million at the maximum or a minimum of 200,000 ARB, valued at $428,000. 

If the snapshot vote passes, the proposal will advance to an onchain vote to ratify the allocation of ARB tokens to support the legal defense of the Tornado Cash developers.

“By supporting their legal fund, we affirm our dedication to upholding these principles and defending the right of developers to contribute to the deployment of permissionless open-source software without fear of reprisal or censorship.”
