HOW IT WORKS
Privacy in three steps.
The protocol allows a withdrawal to be verified without revealing which deposit it came from.
Wait
More deposits and time between actions generally make direct timing analysis more difficult.
Withdraw
Use the note to generate a zero-knowledge proof and withdraw to a different address.
YOUR KEY TO WITHDRAWAL
Protect your note.
The Tornado Cash note is created when you deposit. It contains the secret needed to generate a withdrawal proof.
Never share it. Never enter it into a support form. Store a secure backup until withdrawal is complete.Learn about commitments, notes and proofs →COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear answers to the questions people search before opening Tornado Cash.
What is Tornado Cash?+
Tornado Cash is a non-custodial privacy protocol on Ethereum. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to let a user withdraw without publicly linking the withdrawal address to the original deposit address.
How do deposits and withdrawals work?+
A deposit creates a cryptographic commitment and a private note. The note is later used to generate a proof for withdrawal. Keep it private and backed up: control of the note can mean control of the deposited funds.
What is the Tornado Cash DApp address?+
The primary interface linked throughout this site is tornadocash.eth.limo, an ENS-resolved gateway for the Tornado Cash interface.
Does Tornado Cash hold user funds?+
The protocol is non-custodial. Deposits interact with deployed smart contracts rather than a conventional company account. Users remain responsible for their note and wallet security.
Is Tornado Cash open source?+
Yes. The protocol contracts, zero-knowledge circuits, interfaces, and related repositories have been published as open-source software.
What is the current U.S. sanctions status?+
The U.S. Treasury removed Tornado Cash from its sanctions list on March 21, 2025. Laws, exchange policies, individual conduct, and rules in other jurisdictions remain separate questions.
