Tornado Cash transaction mixer launched on Optimism solution

The developers of the most popular transaction mixer Tornado Cash continue to expand the project’s presence. Tornado smart contracts are now deployed on the Optimism Layer 2 solution network.

As the developers emphasize in an article on the company’s blog page, the Tornado Cash mixer is now available at the first level of the Ethereum network – on Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon solutions and Binance Smart Chain, xDAI Chain and Avalanche networks.

Optimism’s solution for Ethereum scaling was launched in the early fall of last year. But the full launch, with access to all developers, took place in mid-December. So far, the solution is not very popular, but it has already helped users save more than $ 275 million on commissions. Now the volume of blocked assets in the Optimism protocol is $ 320 million. The Optimism solution network processes about 30,000 transactions daily.

Tornado Cash users will be able to take advantage of the solution to reduce commission costs on the Ethereum network. Optimism currently has over 60,000 registered addresses.

It is believed that criminals often use mixers – transaction mixing services hide the source of funds.

At the end of November 2021, Optimism smart contracts were launched on another popular Ethereum scaling solution – Arbitrum.
