Tornado Cash Addresses

Tornado Cash is in the news due to the sanctions imposed by the US government and the freezing of $75K of USDC from Circle. The addresses tied to the service have been publicly posted online. (Hint: we also have them in our crosschain address labels table as well).

Intro:

TornadoCash is a non-cryptic privacy solution for the Ethereum network based on zero-aware snarks (zk-SNARKs). By using this protocol, users can break a loop of activities on the chain in order to preserve the privacy of the transaction, between the recipient and the destination address.

As said in the question, the US government poste online the sanctions of Tornado cash addresses.

As they said, the money laundry and cyber terrorism are the main reasons caused this action.

Now, this bounty aim to seek the Tornado addresses that collects the most of the transactions in the past month, quarter and year.

Also, these addresses are ranked by ETH value of them as mentioned in the question.

Method:

Used table-→ ethereum.core.fact_transactions
Tornado cash-→ flipside_prod_db.crosschain.address_labels where ADDRESS_NAME ilike '%tornado cash%'
The buckets of transactions-→ ETH_VALUE from ethereum.core.fact_transactions
1. when ETH_VALUE>=0.01 and ETH_VALUE<0.1 then 'a. 0.01-0.1 ETH' when ETH_VALUE>=0.1 and ETH_VALUE<1 then 'b. 0.1-1 ETH' when ETH_VALUE>=1 and ETH_VALUE<10 then 'c. 1-10 ETH' when ETH_VALUE>=10 and ETH_VALUE<100 then 'd. 10-100 ETH' when ETH_VALUE>=100 then 'e.over 100 ETH'

Outcomes:

The Router address of Tornado cash is the most popular destination on Tornado mixer in the past month, quarter and year respectively.
The Proxy address of Tornado cash are received 78.8k transactions in the past year and takes the second place among Tornado addresses.
The Router of Tornado cash is received over 100k, 711k and 920k ETHs in the past month, 120 days and year respectively.
In the last month after Router address, the l1 helper received 3249 ETH and take the second rank.
The Proxy account of Tornado get 781k ETH in the last year and in annual perspective get the second place on Tornado.

Outcomes:

According to the defined buckets in the question and Method section, this part displays the bucket of TXNs on Tornado cash:

Over 30.48k transactions have value of ETH between 1 and 10 and this is the largest buckets as shown in the bar an donut charts.
The next largest bucket has value of ETH between 10 and 100 ETHs and share of this bucket is near 30% of all transactions.
The Tornado users who seeks privacy mostly participated with ETH value between 1 to 100 and this is a large value of transactions (about 66% of transactions).
