Tornado Cash is an Ethereum-based protocol that allows users to deposit funds from one address, but withdrawal from another address. This achieves a private transaction effect, often called a mixing service. All assets deposited into Tornado Cash are “mixed” together, making it difficult for chain analysis to take place.
Tornado's governance token is called $TORN.
Tornado Cash operated on only the Ethereum blockchain until June 2021.
As of today, Tornado Cash is operating on:
- Ethereum Blockchain : ETH (Ethereum), DAI (Dai), cDAI (Compound Dai), USDC (USD Coin), USDT (Tether) & WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin),
- Binance Smart Chain: BNB (Binance Coin),
- Polygon Network: MATIC (Polygon),
- Gnosis Chain (former xDAI Chain): xDAI (xDai),
- Avalanche Mainnet: AVAX (Avalanche),
- Optimism, as a Layer-2 for ETH (Ethereum),
- Arbitrum One, as a Layer-2 ETH
