A joint letter backed by firms including a16z, Coinbase, Kraken and Uniswap calls for explicit legal safeguards for software developers in the proposed crypto legislation.
A group of leading crypto companies has sent a joint letter urging Congress to include legal protections for developers in the crypto Clarity Act. The signatories listed in the source include a16z, Aave, 1inch, Block, BitGo, Aptos, Zcash, Solana, Galaxy, Ledger, Kraken, Uniswap, Coinbase and Hyperliquid. The request centers on shielding developers of crypto software and infrastructure from legal exposure tied solely to building tools, a recurring policy issue as lawmakers debate how to regulate digital assets without discouraging open-source innovation.
