🔒 Tornado Cash Privacy Solution for Solana

I've implemented a Solana Rust port of the Tornado Cash privacy solution, enabling zkSNARK-based private transactions on Solana.

📋 Key Components:

  • Core Implementation: Merkle tree for commitments, verifier for zkSNARK proofs, and state management
  • Optimizations: Efficient data structures and cryptographic operations for Solana's compute units
  • Client Tools: JavaScript CLI for generating commitments, deposits, and withdrawals

The implementation breaks the on-chain link between sender and recipient addresses, providing complete transaction privacy. Ready for review!

Summary by Sourcery

suggestion: Consider handling additional Merkle tree levels explicitly.

Currently, only levels 0–3 have dedicated zero values, and higher levels default to a warning and reuse the level 0 zero value. It would improve clarity and robustness to precompute zero values for higher levels or document the limitations clearly.

suggestion (bug_risk): Avoid potential panics during serialization.

Using unwrap() in pack_into_slice could result in a runtime panic if serialization fails. It might be better to handle the error gracefully and propagate it rather than unwrapping.

Suggested implementation:

    fn pack_into_slice(&self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), ProgramError> {
        let data = self.try_to_vec().map_err(|_| ProgramError::InvalidAccountData)?;
        dst[..data.len()].copy_from_slice(&data);
        Ok(())
    }

Ensure that the Pack trait definition is updated to reflect the new return type for pack_into_slice, and update all call sites for TornadoInstance::pack_into_slice to handle the Result properly.

issue (testing): Missing tests for edge cases

The tests currently cover the happy path. It's important to also test edge cases and error conditions, such as:

  • Invalid proof
  • Invalid root
  • Double spending (same nullifier hash)
  • Depositing 0 SOL
  • Withdrawing more than deposited
  • Invalid fee
  • Invalid refund
  • Full Merkle tree
  • Invalid account data (e.g., wrong Merkle tree account)

let root = merkle_tree_data.roots[merkle_tree_data.current_root_index as usize];

issue (testing): Dummy proof is not sufficient for testing

Using a dummy proof doesn't actually test the verification logic. Consider generating a valid proof for a known set of inputs, or mocking the verifier to return a predetermined result for testing purposes.

# Tornado Cash Privacy Solution for Solana

A privacy solution for Solana based on zkSNARKs. It improves transaction privacy by breaking the on-chain link between the sender and recipient addresses. It uses a Solana program that accepts SOL deposits that can be withdrawn by a different address. Whenever SOL is withdrawn by the new address, there is no way to link the withdrawal to the deposit, ensuring complete privacy.

suggestion (typo): Consistently capitalize "zkSNARKs" throughout the documentation.

Suggested implementation:

Later, the user decides to make a withdrawal. To do that, the user provides a zkSNARKs proof that they possess a secret to an unspent commitment from the program's Merkle tree.

The zkSNARKs technology allows this to happen without revealing which exact deposit corresponds to this secret.

## Security

The security of this program relies on the security of the zkSNARK implementation and the Merkle tree. The zkSNARK proofs ensure that only the owner of a commitment can withdraw the corresponding deposit, and the Merkle tree ensures that each commitment can only be spent once.

### Potential Vulnerabilities and Mitigation Strategies
While the current security measures provide a strong foundation, several potential vulnerabilities should be considered:
- Cryptographic weaknesses: Regularly audit and update the underlying cryptographic libraries to address any emerging vulnerabilities.
- Side-channel attacks: Implement constant-time algorithms for critical cryptographic operations to avoid leaking sensitive information.
- Replay and man-in-the-middle attacks: Use session tokens, timestamps, or nonce-based approaches to prevent replay attacks and secure communication channels.
- Smart contract vulnerabilities: Regularly test the implementation for issues such as reentrancy, and enforce proper access controls.
Implementing these strategies can help further secure the system against evolving threats.

issue (complexity): Consider extracting buffer operations into helper functions to improve code maintainability and reduce errors by focusing command handlers on business logic and isolating buffer handling complexities, such as serializing instruction parameters for withdrawal operations into a dedicated helper function, thereby enhancing code clarity and reducing redundancy across the codebase .

Consider extracting the low‑level buffer operations into helper functions (or a serialization utility) to reduce repetition and clarify intent. For instance, you can create a helper that serializes instruction parameters for the withdrawal. This keeps the command handler focused on business logic.

Example: Create a helper like below:

function serializeWithdraw({
  proofBuffer,
  rootBuffer,
  nullifierHashBuffer,
  recipientBuffer,
  relayerBuffer,
  fee,
  refund,
}) {
  const feeBuffer = new BN(fee).toArrayLike(Buffer, 'le', 8);
  const refundBuffer = new BN(refund).toArrayLike(Buffer, 'le', 8);
  const proofLength = new BN(proofBuffer.length).toArrayLike(Buffer, 'le', 4);

  return Buffer.concat([
    Buffer.from([2]),         // Withdraw instruction id
    proofLength,
    proofBuffer,
    rootBuffer,
    nullifierHashBuffer,
    recipientBuffer,
    relayerBuffer,
    feeBuffer,
    refundBuffer,
  ]);
}

Then update your withdraw function:

async function withdraw(wallet, tornadoInstancePubkey, proof, root, nullifierHash, recipient, relayer, fee, refund) {
  console.log(`Withdrawing from Tornado instance ${tornadoInstancePubkey}...`);

  const proofBuffer = Buffer.from(proof);
  const rootBuffer = Buffer.from(root, 'hex');
  const nullifierHashBuffer = Buffer.from(nullifierHash, 'hex');
  const recipientPubkey = new PublicKey(recipient);
  const relayerPubkey = new PublicKey(relayer);

  const instructionData = serializeWithdraw({
    proofBuffer,
    rootBuffer,
    nullifierHashBuffer,
    recipientBuffer: recipientPubkey.toBuffer(),
    relayerBuffer: relayerPubkey.toBuffer(),
    fee,
    refund,
  });

  // ... rest of your withdraw code
}

This refactoring isolates the complex buffer handling, making the code easier to maintain and less error-prone while keeping all functionality intact.

Code Review: Tornado Cash for Solana

Based on thorough analysis of this implementation, I find the code well-structured with comprehensive documentation that effectively explains the architecture, algorithms and data flow. The codebase demonstrates excellent organization with proper modularization, detailed markdown documentation with mermaid diagrams, and a user-friendly CLI interface.

  • Strengths: Modular architecture, extensive documentation, clear visualizations
  • Minor considerations: Trusted setup implementation and hash function choice could be refined for production

The implementation successfully ports Tornado Cash to Solana with appropriate blockchain-specific optimizations.

🧹 EVM Removal Complete: De-commified the Tornado for Solana

  • Removed: All EVM-related code and references (Solidity contracts, Truffle configs, Web3 utilities)
  • Cleaned: Package.json updated with Solana-specific dependencies and scripts
  • Purified: Documentation now focuses exclusively on Solana implementation

Our Solana-native privacy solution is now 100% free of Ethereum/EVM influence. Ready for review!

🧹 Documentation Cleanup: Removed all Ethereum/EVM references

I've completed a thorough scrub of the documentation to remove all references to Ethereum, EVM, gas fees, and other EVM-specific terminology, ensuring a pure Solana-focused presentation.

  • Fixed: Changed "gas fees" to "transaction fees" throughout the docs
  • Removed: Ethereum-specific resources (contracts, deployment guides, etc.)
  • Deleted: EVM-related image files and outdated references

This change provides a more consistent and Solana-native documentation experience for users.
