# Relayer for Tornado Cash [![Build Status](https://github.com/tornadocash/relayer/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tornadocash/relayer/actions) [![Docker Image Version (latest semver)](https://img.shields.io/docker/v/tornadocash/relayer?logo=docker&logoColor=%23FFFFFF&sort=semver)](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tornadocash/relayer)

## Getting listed on app.tornado.cash

If you would like to be listed in tornado.cash UI relayer's dropdown option, please do the following:

1. Setup tornado.cash relayer node(see below for docker-compose.yml example)
2. Setup ENS subdomain(`goerli-v2.xxx.eth`, `mainnet-v2.xxx.eth`) with TEXT record and URL key that points to your DNS or IP address.
3. Test your relayer setup on Goerli testnet at https://app.tornado.cash by choosing custom relayer's option on withdraw tab. Enter your ens name and initiate a withdrawal.
4. Open new Github issue in https://github.com/tornadocash/tornado-relayer/issues and specify the following:

- your goerli ens url
- your mainnet ens url
- your telegram handle
- withdrawal tx on goerli
- withdrawal tx on mainnet

Please choose your testnet relayer's fee wisely.

Disclaimer: Please consult with legal and tax advisors regarding the compliance of running a relayer service in your jurisdiction. The authors of this project bear no responsibility.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

## Deploy with docker-compose

docker-compose.yml contains a stack that will automatically provision SSL certificates for your domain name and will add a https redirect to port 80.

1. Download [docker-compose.yml](/docker-compose.yml) and [.env.example](/.env.example)

```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tornadocash/tornado-relayer/master/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tornadocash/tornado-relayer/master/.env.example -O .env
```

2. Setup environment variables

   - set `NET_ID` (1 for mainnet, 5 for Goerli)
   - set `HTTP_RPC_URL` rpc url for your ethereum node
   - set `WS_RPC_URL` websocket url
   - set `ORACLE_RPC_URL` - rpc url for mainnet node for fetching prices(always have to be on mainnet)
   - set `PRIVATE_KEY` for your relayer address (without 0x prefix)
   - set `VIRTUAL_HOST` and `LETSENCRYPT_HOST` to your domain and add DNS record pointing to your relayer ip address
   - set `REGULAR_TORNADO_WITHDRAW_FEE` - fee in % that is used for tornado pool withdrawals
   - set `MINING_SERVICE_FEE` - fee in % that is used for mining AP withdrawals
   - set `REWARD_ACCOUNT` - eth address that is used to collect fees
   - update `AGGREGATOR` if needed - Contract address of aggregator instance.
   - update `CONFIRMATIONS` if needed - how many block confirmations to wait before processing an event. Not recommended to set less than 3
   - update `MAX_GAS_PRICE` if needed - maximum value of gwei value for relayer's transaction
   - update `BASE_FEE_RESERVE_PERCENTAGE` if needed - how much in % will the network baseFee increase

     If you want to use more than 1 eth address for relaying transactions, please add as many `workers` as you want. For example, you can comment out `worker2` in docker-compose.yml file, but please use a different `PRIVATE_KEY` for each worker.

3. Run `docker-compose up -d`

## Run locally

1. `npm i`
2. `cp .env.example .env`
3. Modify `.env` as needed
4. `npm run start`
5. Go to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`
6. In order to execute withdraw request, you can run following command

```bash
curl -X POST -H 'content-type:application/json' --data '<input data>' http://127.0.0.1:8000/relay
```

Relayer should return a transaction hash

In that case you will need to add https termination yourself because browsers with default settings will prevent https
tornado.cash UI from submitting your request over http connection

## Monitoring

You can find the guide on how to install the Zabbix server in the [/monitoring/README.md](/monitoring/README.md).

## Architecture

1. TreeWatcher module keeps track of Account Tree changes and automatically caches the actual state in Redis and emits `treeUpdate` event to redis pub/sub channel
2. Server module is Express.js instance that accepts http requests
3. Controller contains handlers for the Server endpoints. It validates input data and adds a Job to Queue.
4. Queue module is used by Controller to put and get Job from queue (bull wrapper)
5. Status module contains handler to get a Job status. It's used by UI for pull updates
6. Validate contains validation logic for all endpoints
7. Worker is the main module that gets a Job from queue and processes it
