Calculating Privacy Gains

The privacy gained from using Tornado Cash can be quantified by the increase in the entropy of your transaction history. Before use, an address’s history is fully transparent. After a deposit and withdrawal, the link is broken, making it computationally infeasible to connect the two addresses on-chain. The Tornado Cash site may offer analytical tools or perspectives on how to conceptualize the privacy enhancement achieved, providing users with a clearer metric for their security investment.
