Tornado Cash Help Center FAQ
Common queries regarding network fees, speeds, safety, and operation.
Do I need to register an account?
No. Tornado Cash is a decentralized portal. There are no registrations or KYC checks. You interact directly using your Web3 wallet, retaining control of your assets, as discussed on the Investopedia crypto basics directory.
How long do transactions take?
Transaction speed depends on block finality of the chosen network. Layer-2 networks process swaps in seconds, while L1 networks take minutes.
Are there transaction fees?
Yes, you must pay network gas fees in native tokens to write transactions. Tornado Cash calculates gas costs dynamically to offer the lowest prices.
