What is Tornado Cash?

It is a decentralized, non-custodial privacy solution built on Ethereum. It improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between recipient and destination addresses.

The solution uses a smart contract that accepts ETH and ERC-20 deposits. These deposits can be withdrawn by any on-chain address. Whenever an asset is withdrawn by the new address, there is no way to link the withdrawal to the deposit, ensuring asset privacy.

To ensure privacy, Tornado Cash uses zero knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs). When a user decides to make a withdrawal, the user must provide proof of secret information corresponding to one of the smart contract’s list of deposits.

This proof is verified without the user needing to reveal which exact deposit corresponds to their secret info. The smart contract then checks the proof, and transfers deposited funds to the address specified by the withdrawal transaction. No external party can link the deposit to the withdrawal.

Tornado Cash can be a lucrative investment, but take the time to study the market and read estimates on its price trajectory before making a commitment.
