# Introduction of Tornado.Cash
**\[Work in progress\]**

Tornado Cash is a **fully decentralized** **non-custodial** **protocol** allowing private transactions in the crypto-space.

The protocol also functions with zk-SNARK, which enables zero-knowledge proofs allowing users to demonstrate possession of information without needing to reveal it. The use of this technology is based **on open source research made by Zcash team with the help of Ethereum community**. To set-up zk-SNARK initial keys, Tornado.Cash[ Trusted Setup Community](https://tornado-cash.medium.com/tornado-cash-trusted-setup-ceremony-b846e1e00be1) was launched in May 2020 & accounted [for 1114 contributions](https://tornado-cash.medium.com/the-biggest-trusted-setup-ceremony-in-the-world-3c6ab9c8fffa). This significant number of contributors makes it impossible to compromise the protocol by faking zero-knowledge proofs.
User interface is hosted on **IPFS** \(InterPlanetary File System\) by the community, minimizing risks of data being deleted. Indeed, the interface will work as long as at least one user is hosting it.

# Community Involvement
**\[Work In Progress\]**
In a Decentralized Autonomous Organization \(DAO\), significant elements such as protocol parameters & token distribution are controlled by the community through governance. This governance allows the community to shape & continuously improve the protocol.
However, the role of a community does not stop to suggesting proposals & expressing its opinion through votes. The community can also actively contribute to the success and prosperity of their protocol through constructive debates, mutual help and specific actions.

Before diving in tutorials explaining & easing the use of Tornado.Cash, here is an overall overview of the protocol global functioning.

The strength of such a protocol comes naturally from its number of users and the size of its pool. The more users deposit into the pool the merrier. However, to preserve privacy & anonymity, the user must keep some basic rules in mind such as:
* Leaving a lapse of time between the deposit & the withdrawal action
* Mixing its funds with the crowd by waiting for several transactions before recovering its assets.
* Using a relayer to pay gas at withdrawal;

Deposits are simple on a technological point of view, but expensive in terms of gas as they need to compute the 20 mimc hash & update the Merkle tree. At the opposite, the withdrawal process is complex, but cheaper as gas is only needed for the nullifier hash and the zero-knowledge proof.
