Tornado Cash is an Ethereum-based protocol that allows users to obfuscate their activity. When used correctly it allows users to achieve a certain degree of privacy on blockchains that are typically completely transparent such as Ethereum. Tornado Cash acts as a trustless [[mixing service]], allowing users to deposit funds into a smart contract and later withdraw them anonymously using a [[Zero Knowledge Proof|zero knowledge proof]]. This breaks the link between depositor and withdrawer because it is impossible to discern one withdrawer from another without analyzing additional transaction metadata. | Tornado Cash is an Ethereum-based protocol that allows users to obfuscate their activity.
