TORN

Tornado Cash is a non-custodial privacy protocol allowing permissionless shielded transactions on Ethereum and derivative networks. Tornado Cash is not a mixer, as assets are never commingled due to the presence of zero knowledge cryptography. The core of the protocol is ungovernable and immutable, given Ethereum's distributed state and the provenance of the contracts, they can neither be changed nor tampered with. Therefore, nobody - including the original developers - can modify or inhibit the protocol. All governance and associated smart contracts are deployed by the community. As a non-custodial protocol, users keep custody of their cryptocurrencies while using Tornado Cash. This means that at each deposit, they are provided with a secret "note" that grants the access to the deposited funds, allowing self-soverginity over one's assets.
