# 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 includes an **anonymity mining system for some of its token**, allowing its users to earn a **governance token**. Thanks to TORN tokens, Tornado Cash users actively participate in shaping the protocol. The community has a strong weight regarding the evolution of Tornado Cash and the improvement of its features.

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.

# 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.

To this extent, **Tornado.Cash Compliance Tool enables users to prove the origin of their funds.** Thanks to the Note generated after each deposit, **this tool will issue a cryptographically verified proof of transactional history** using the Ethereum addresses used to deposit & withdraw assets.

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:
* Using a relayer to pay gas at withdrawal;
* 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.

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.
