Overview

What is Tornado Cash?
Tornado Cash is a fully decentralized non-custodial protocol allowing private transactions on Ethereum and other adjacent blockchains. Tornado Cash was co-founded by Roman Semenov in 2019.
How does Tornado Cash work?
Tornado Cash uses smart contracts that accept ETH & other token deposits from one address and enables their withdrawal from a different address. To preserve privacy a relayer can be used to withdraw to an address with no ETH balance.
Who governs Tornado Cash?
TORN token holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total withdrawal fees paid (revenue).
