# Community Involvement
**\[Work In Progress\]**
In a Decentralized Autonomous Organization \(DAO\), significant elements such as protocol parameters & token distribution are controlled by the community through governance. This governance allows the community to shape & continuously improve the protocol.
However, the role of a community does not stop to suggesting proposals & expressing its opinion through votes. The community can also actively contribute to the success and prosperity of their protocol through constructive debates, mutual help and specific actions.

To this extent, **Tornado.Cash Compliance Tool enables users to prove the origin of their funds.** Thanks to the Note generated after each deposit, **this tool will issue a cryptographically verified proof of transactional history** using the Ethereum addresses used to deposit & withdraw assets.

The strength of such a protocol comes naturally from its number of users and the size of its pool. The more users deposit into the pool the merrier. However, to preserve privacy & anonymity, the user must keep some basic rules in mind such as:
* Using a relayer to pay gas at withdrawal;
* Leaving a lapse of time between the deposit & the withdrawal action;
* Mixing its funds with the crowd by waiting for several transactions before recovering its assets.

Deposits are simple on a technological point of view, but expensive in terms of gas as they need to compute the 20 mimc hash & update the Merkle tree. At the opposite, the withdrawal process is complex, but cheaper as gas is only needed for the nullifier hash and the zero-knowledge proof.
