Tornado Cash is a **fully decentralized** **non-custodial** **protocol** allowing private transactions in the crypto-space.  Torxnado Cash is a **fully decentralized** **non-custodial** **protocol** allowing private transactions in the crypto-space.
As a decentralized protocol, Tornado.Cash smart contracts have been implemented within the Ethereum blockchain which makes them immutable. They can neither be changed or tampered with. Therefore, nobody - including initial developers - can modify or shut them down. All governance and mining smart contracts are deployed by the community in a decentralized manner.

Tornado Cash improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between source and destination addresses. It uses a smart contract that accepts ETH & other tokens deposits from one address and enable their withdrawal from a different address.

To preserve privacy, few good practices are in order, such as the use of a relayer for gas payments to withdraw funds towards an address with no pre-existing balance.

**Thanks to the TORN token, Tornado Cash users can actively participate in shaping the protocol**. The community has a strong weight regarding the evolution of Tornado Cash and the improvement of its features. Indeed, protocol parameters & token distribution are completely under the communitys control through this governance. **Thanks to the TORN token, Tornado Cash users can actively participate in shaping the protocol**.

It means that each token has 2 to 4 different pools, allowing transactions of only 2 to 4 different fixed amounts _(e.g. ETH has four different pools, one for each of these amounts: 0.1, 1, 10 & 100 ETH)_.
