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.

The team behind the protocol believes that once it’s fully deployed on Arbitrum, users will be able to initiate private transactions without the high gas fees on 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.

What Users Must Do To Leverage Tornado Cash on Arbitrum

To use Tornado Cash on Arbitrum, users must first send ETH, ERC-20, ERC-721 tokens from Ethereum to Arbitrum through Arbitrum Bridge.
