Tornado Cash is the developer of a fully decentralized protocol designed for private transactions on Ethereum. Using Tornado Cash, transactions are mixed using zero-knowledge proofs, and these completely obfuscate the transaction information. Users accrue Anonymity Points as they interact with the protocol, which are then deposited into a shielded account. The company's platform allows investors to send ethereum cryptocurrency anonymously using non-custodial technology based on strong cryptography and uses a smart contract that accepts ETH deposits that can be withdrawn by a different address, ensuring investors get complete privacy of their transactions. Tornado Cash’s products include governance tools, mining solutions, compliance tools and more, and features protocol parameters and token distribution that are controlled by the community via governance.
