  Tornado Cash is a decentralized privacy solution for Ethereum that uses smart contracts to facilitate anonymous transactions. When you deposit your cryptocurrency into Tornado Cash, it gets mixed with other users' funds, making it difficult to trace the origin of the funds. The smart contract ensures that the deposited funds are securely stored and can only be withdrawn by the owner of the original deposit. This mixing process effectively breaks the link between the sender and the recipient, providing a high level of anonymity for the transactions.

  Tornado Cash works by utilizing a concept called zero-knowledge proofs. These proofs allow the sender to prove that they possess certain information without revealing the actual information itself. In the case of Tornado Cash, zero-knowledge proofs are used to prove ownership of the deposited funds without revealing the identity of the sender. This ensures that even if someone tries to analyze the blockchain, they won't be able to link the sender's identity to the transaction.
