Frequently Asked Questions

Tornado Cash is a fully decentralized, non-custodial privacy solution that is built on Ethereum and several other EVM-compatible chains. It allows users to make private transactions by breaking the on-chain link between sender and recipient. To find out more, everything you need to know is available here.
Is Tornado Cash safe to use after sanctions?
Yes. However, as its online presence is in a highly fractious state at the moment, do check that you are using only official links for engaging or transacting with the protocol.
Is the Tornado Cash protocol secure?
Yes, Tornado Cash employs zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge) to ensure privacy without compromising security. This cryptographic technique allows users to prove possession of certain information (in this case, the funds) without revealing the information itself. Additionally, Tornado Cash undergoes continuous code reviews by the community to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and risks.
Can I trust Tornado Cash with my funds?
Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol, meaning it operates without the need for a central authority or custodian. Users retain full control over their funds throughout the anonymization process. However, as with any DeFi protocol, users should exercise caution, ensure they understand how Tornado Cash works, and use reputable sources to interact with the protocol to mitigate risks associated with smart contract vulnerabilities or fraudulent activity.
What are the fees associated with using Tornado Cash?
Tornado Cash charges a small fee during each withdrawal, should a relayer be used. Also, there is the default gas fee for every transaction (regardless deposit or withdrawal) that will vary depending on network congestion.

It is as simple as visiting the Tornado Cash app to deposit and withdraw. Refer to a detailed step-by-step guide here.
