Relayer for Tornado Cash

Deploy with docker-compose

docker-compose.yml contains a stack that will automatically provision SSL certificates for your domain name and will add a https redirect to port 80.

1. Download docker-compose.yml and .env.example

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tornadocash/tornado-relayer/master/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tornadocash/tornado-relayer/master/.env.example -O .env

2. Setup environment variables

   • set NET_ID (1 for mainnet, 5 for Goerli)

   • set HTTP_RPC_URL rpc url for your ethereum node

   • set WS_RPC_URL websocket url

   • set ORACLE_RPC_URL - rpc url for mainnet node for fetching prices(always have to be on mainnet)

   • set PRIVATE_KEY for your relayer address (without 0x prefix)

   • set VIRTUAL_HOST and LETSENCRYPT_HOST to your domain and add DNS record pointing to your relayer ip address

   • set REGULAR_TORNADO_WITHDRAW_FEE - fee in % that is used for tornado pool withdrawals

   • set MINING_SERVICE_FEE - fee in % that is used for mining AP withdrawals

   • set REWARD_ACCOUNT - eth address that is used to collect fees

   • update AGGREGATOR if needed - Contract address of aggregator instance.

   • update CONFIRMATIONS if needed - how many block confirmations to wait before processing an event. Not recommended to set less than 3

   • update MAX_GAS_PRICE if needed - maximum value of gwei value for relayer's transaction

   • update BASE_FEE_RESERVE_PERCENTAGE if needed - how much in % will the network baseFee increase

     If you want to use more than 1 eth address for relaying transactions, please add as many workers as you want. For example, you can comment out worker2 in docker-compose.yml file, but please use a different PRIVATE_KEY for each worker.

3. Run docker-compose up -d

Run locally

1. npm i
2. cp .env.example .env
3. Modify .env as needed
4. npm run start
5. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000
6. In order to execute withdraw request, you can run following command

curl -X POST -H 'content-type:application/json' --data '<input data>' http://127.0.0.1:8000/relay

Relayer should return a transaction hash

In that case you will need to add https termination yourself because browsers with default settings will prevent https tornado.cash UI from submitting your request over http connection

Run geth node

It is strongly recommended that you use your own RPC node. Instruction on how to run full node with geth can be found here.

Monitoring

You can find the guide on how to install the Zabbix server in the /monitoring/README.md.

Architecture

1. TreeWatcher module keeps track of Account Tree changes and automatically caches the actual state in Redis and emits treeUpdate event to redis pub/sub channel
2. Server module is Express.js instance that accepts http requests
3. Controller contains handlers for the Server endpoints. It validates input data and adds a Job to Queue.
4. Queue module is used by Controller to put and get Job from queue (bull wrapper)
5. Status module contains handler to get a Job status. It's used by UI for pull updates
6. Validate contains validation logic for all endpoints
7. Worker is the main module that gets a Job from queue and processes it
