Tornado Cash Nova

Flexible amounts, shielded transfers

Nova was designed for Gnosis Chain with arbitrary deposit and withdrawal amounts and private transfers inside its shielded pool, unlike Classic's fixed denominations.

Protocol design

Nova uses an account-style shielded pool inspired by a UTXO model. Users can hold a private balance and transfer within the pool, reducing the need to exit for every payment.

Dependencies and limitations

  • Nova is deployed on Gnosis Chain and has relied on the AMB Omnibridge path from Ethereum.
  • The documentation warns of a low relayer count, experimental status, bridge limits and validator censorship issues.
  • Bridge, relayer, RPC and frontend availability are separate from the smart contracts and may change.
“Experimental” is a material risk label. Historical source availability is not proof that a live interface or bridge path is safe today.
