About Tornado Cash
Tornado Cash is a fully decentralized Ethereum mixer protocol, which masks the path that digital tokens such as ETH take from sender to receiver, giving users the ability to initiate private transactions without the need for privacy-based tokens.
Layer two networks on Ethereum enjoy faster transactions and cheaper fees while still leveraging the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.

According to the team, layer two network transactions are expected to be around 95% cheaper than those transactions effected on layer one network.
