Legal Privacy, Powered by the New Tornado Cash

This is a new, regulatory-aligned deployment. It preserves the core ZK-unlinkability from Tornado Cash V1 but adds crucial, on-chain safeguards like pre-pool OFAC/AML screening and zk-disclosure proofs to ensure the privacy pool remains clean and the service is lawful and sustainable.

The architecture is designed for alignment with MiCA and FATF principles by integrating sanctions controls and auditable proofs. This allows institutional users to manage Travel Rule obligations while maintaining the privacy of their transactions. Compliance is enforced cryptographically.

No. This platform is non-custodial and avoids PII warehousing. Compliance is achieved through on-chain screening of the funds and optional generation of a zk-KYC proof (a zero-knowledge attestation) by the user, not by collecting or storing personal data.

Unlike traditional mixers that rely on CoinJoin or Monero conversion, which often lack regulatory controls, this deployment uses powerful ZK-SNARKs combined with pre-pool AML vetting. This delivers superior cryptographic unlinkability while blocking sanctioned inputs, making it the most viable privacy solution for the regulated Web3 economy.

Auditable Privacy means the user maintains unlinkability but can, when legally required, generate a compact 'zk-disclosure proof' to demonstrate fund legitimacy without revealing transaction details or their identity. This mechanism protects the user from general surveillance while providing a tool to manage regulatory exposure.

A crucial feature is the Pre-Pool AML/OFAC Screening. Automated checks are performed at the deposit contract layer, and any high-risk deposit addresses are cryptographically blocked from receiving a private note, ensuring the anonymity set remains 'clean' for all legitimate users.

The protocol is deployed on multiple EVM L2 networks (Arbitrum, Optimism) in addition to Ethereum Mainnet. By utilizing L2 scaling solutions, we significantly reduce the transaction costs and confirm times associated with generating the complex zero-knowledge proofs, making private transactions practical for everyday use.

Yes. It is specifically designed for institutional DeFi. Large funds use the system for Execution Secrecy (anti-MEV) and private treasury movements. The non-custodial, auditable design allows them to meet internal compliance policies while securing a competitive edge.

Our pools span multiple chains (Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon). This functionality dramatically increases the total number of participants (anonymity set size) across all integrated networks, providing a robust and stronger defense against deanonymization than a single-chain mixer.

We operate with a focus on providing legal certainty. By implementing cryptographic controls and alignment with international standards like FATF and MiCA, this deployment seeks to establish a clear, lawful operational model, unlike previous pure anonymity services. Users should always check local jurisdiction laws.

Yes. The core zk-SNARK/zk-STARK logic and the new compliance modules have undergone rigorous formal audits by leading blockchain security firms. Detailed security reports are available in the documentation to ensure full transparency and trust in the non-custodial security model.

No. The user interface is designed for simplicity. While the underlying Zero-Knowledge Proof technology is complex, the user experience is streamlined to a simple deposit, wait, and withdraw flow. Our relayer network ensures gas fees can be paid privately, simplifying the withdrawal process.

The private note is your sole key to the deposited funds. Since this is a non-custodial service and the smart contract holds no record of the note, losing the note means the funds are permanently inaccessible, as is the case with any self-custody ZK protocol. Secure backup is mandatory.

To maximize the unlinkability and strengthen the anonymity set, a longer waiting period is highly recommended. The optimal waiting time increases with the size of the deposit but should ideally be long enough for many other legitimate transactions to enter the pool.

Yes. Tokenized RWA issuers and holders can use this protocol to ensure the confidentiality of settlement rails and private transfers, addressing a major compliance and privacy concern for institutions bringing real assets on-chain. This is a core focus of our roadmap.

The protocol is managed by decentralized governance, typically via a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Governance is designed to maintain the integrity of the compliance modules and protocol upgrades, ensuring it remains robust and censorship-resistant.

Yes. This is the main benefit of the compliant design. You can selectively generate a zk-Attestation that cryptographically proves your funds originated from a legitimate, unsanctioned source, allowing you to demonstrate compliance to exchanges or regulators without exposing your private history.

We maximize the anonymity set by supporting multiple EVM chains and encouraging the deposit of common denominations. Crucially, the Pre-Pool AML screening keeps the pool clean of flagged funds, maintaining the integrity and strength of the anonymity set for all legitimate users.
