Tornado Cash is about to get a scaling boost as the privacy protocol prepares for release on the Ethereum layer two network Arbitrum.
Tornado Cash’s smart contracts are ready to roll out on to the Arbitrum Layer 2 scaling network following contributions from the community to ensure the stability of the protocol.
The announcement explained that releasin on Arbitrum will “enable users to take advantage of all the benefits a Layer 2 can offer, with cheaper transactions being the biggest relative advantage.”
Tornado Cash is a fully decentralized Ethereum mixer protocol. Tornado Cash masks the path that tokens such as ETH take from sender to receiver, providing completely private transactions without the necessity to use privacy-focused coins.
Layer two networks on Ethereum brags faster transactions and cheaper fees while still benefiting from the security and decentralization of Ethereum. The Tornado Cash team believes that the deployment onto Arbitrum will allow more users to perform private crypto transactions while avoiding Ethereum’s high gas fees.
