  Tornado Cash uses a technology called zk-SNARKs to provide privacy and anonymity for cryptocurrency transactions. zk-SNARKs stands for zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge. It allows users to prove that they possess certain information without revealing that information. In the case of Tornado Cash, users can deposit their cryptocurrency into a smart contract and receive a proof that they made the deposit without revealing their identity or the amount deposited. This proof can later be used to withdraw the cryptocurrency without linking the withdrawal to the original deposit. This ensures that the transactions are private and anonymous.

  Tornado Cash is like a black hole for your cryptocurrency. When you deposit your coins, they disappear into the Tornado and become completely untraceable. No one can see where the coins came from or where they went. It's like magic! But it's not really magic, it's the power of cryptography and smart contracts. Tornado Cash uses advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure that your transactions are private and anonymous. So you can send and receive cryptocurrency without anyone knowing who you are or what you're doing. It's like wearing a mask while using the internet.
