The world’s fifth largest Ethereum mining pool, Flexpool, stopped serving Russian users after the Ukraine invasion.
According to a Flexpool spokesperson on Thursday evening on the official Telegram channel, the company became the first company to stop serving Russian users after Russia invaded Ukraine. In the decision, which is said to have been taken within the scope of solidarity with Ukraine, the spokesperson used the following expressions:
“As a company, we usually do not get involved in politics, despite our personal views. But this is bigger than politics, bigger than anyone else. This is a war that could end the world. It is ending the lives of many innocent people in Eastern Europe.”
The company also apologized to Russian miners and stated that they took such a decision because the pool did not want to hinder those who wanted to profit from the crisis and indirectly finance the crisis.
