Tornado Cash Privacy Solution build status Coverage Status

Tornado Cash is a non-custodial Ethereum and ERC20 privacy solution based on zkSNARKs. It improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between the recipient and destination addresses. It uses a smart contract that accepts ETH deposits that can be withdrawn by a different address. Whenever ETH is withdrawn by the new address, there is no way to link the withdrawal to the deposit, ensuring complete privacy.

To make a deposit user generates a secret and sends its hash (called a commitment) along with the deposit amount to the Tornado smart contract. The contract accepts the deposit and adds the commitment to its list of deposits.

Later, the user decides to make a withdrawal. To do that, the user should provide a proof that he or she possesses a secret to an unspent commitment from the smart contract’s list of deposits. zkSnark technology allows that to happen without revealing which exact deposit corresponds to this secret. The smart contract will check the proof and transfer deposited funds to the address specified for withdrawal. An external observer will be unable to determine which deposit this withdrawal came from.

Specs

  • Deposit gas cost: 1088354 (43381 + 50859 * tree_depth)
  • Withdraw gas cost: 301233
  • Circuit Constraints = 28271 (1869 + 1325 * tree_depth)
  • Circuit Proof time = 10213ms (1071 + 347 * tree_depth)

Whitepaper

TornadoCash_whitepaper_v1.4.pdf

Was it audited?

Tornado.cash protocols, circuits, and smart contracts were audited by a group of experts from ABDK Consulting, specializing in zero-knowledge, cryptography, and smart contracts.

During the audit, no critical issues were found and all outstanding issues were fixed. The results can be found here:

Underlying circomlib dependency is currently being audited, and the team already published most of the fixes for found issues

Requirements

  1. node v11.15.0
  2. npm install -g npx

Usage

You can see example usage in cli.js, it works both in the console and in the browser.

  1. npm install
  2. cp .env.example .env
  3. npm run build - this may take 10 minutes or more
  4. npx ganache-cli
  5. npm run test - optionally runs tests. It may fail on the first try, just run it again.

Use browser version on Kovan:

  1. vi .env - add your Kovan private key to deploy contracts
  2. npm run migrate
  3. npx http-server - serve current dir, you can use any other static http server
  4. Open localhost:8080

Use the command-line version. Works for Ganache, Kovan, and Mainnet:

Initialization

  1. cp .env.example .env
  2. npm run download
  3. npm run build:contract

Ganache

  1. make sure you complete steps from Initialization
  2. ganache-cli -i 1337
  3. npm run migrate:dev
  4. ./cli.js test
  5. ./cli.js --help

Kovan, Mainnet

  1. Please use https://github.com/tornadocash/tornado-cli Reason: because tornado-core uses websnark 2041cfa5fa0b71cd5cca9022a4eeea4afe28c9f7 commit hash in order to work with local trusted setup. Tornado-cli uses 4c0af6a8b65aabea3c09f377f63c44e7a58afa6d commit with production trusted setup of tornadoCash

Example:

./cli.js deposit ETH 0.1 --rpc https://kovan.infura.io/v3/27a9649f826b4e31a83e07ae09a87448

Deploy ETH Tornado Cash

  1. cp .env.example .env
  2. Tune all necessary params
  3. npx truffle migrate --network kovan --reset --f 2 --to 4

Deploy ERC20 Tornado Cash

  1. cp .env.example .env
  2. Tune all necessary params
  3. npx truffle migrate --network kovan --reset --f 2 --to 3
  4. npx truffle migrate --network kovan --reset --f 5

Note. If you want to reuse the same verifier for all the instances, then after you deployed one of the instances you should only run the 4th or 5th migration for ETH or ERC20 contracts respectively (--f 4 --to 4 or --f 5).

How to resolve ENS name to DNS name for a relayer

  1. Visit https://etherscan.io/enslookup and put relayer ENS name to the form.
  2. Copy the namehash (1) and click on the Resolver link (2) enslookup
  3. Go to the Contract tab. Click on Read Contract and scroll down to the 5. text method.
  4. Put the values: resolver
  5. Click Query and you will get the DNS name. Just add https:// to it and use it as relayer url
