# TORN
|
||
|
||
## Token
|
||
|
||
TORN is an ERC20-compatible token with a fixed supply that governs [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash). TORN holders can make proposals and vote to change the protocol via governance.
|
||
|
||
**TORN is not a fundraising device or investment opportunity.**
|
||
|
||
**Here’s how the initial distribution of TORN would break down:**
|
||
|
||
* **5% (500,000 TORN):** Airdrop to early users of [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash) ETH pools
|
||
* **10% (1,000,000 TORN):** Anonymity mining for [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash) ETH pools, distributed linearly over 1 year
|
||
* **55% (5,500,000 TORN):** DAO treasury, will be unlocked linearly over 5 years with 3 month cliff
|
||
* **30% (3,000,000 TORN):** Founding developers and early supporters, will be unlocked linearly over 3 years with 1 year cliff

## Airdrop <a href="#f04d" id="f04d"></a>
|
||
|
||
Users who have believed in [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash) from early on should have a say in governing the protocol. For this reason, early adopters of the protocol did receive an airdrop of TORN.
|
||
|
||
TORN has been airdropped to [all addresses](https://github.com/tornadocash/airdrop/blob/master/airdrop.csv) that made deposits into [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash) ETH pools before block `11400000`. TORN were airdropped in the form of a non-transferable TORN voucher (vTORN) that can be redeemed 1:1 to TORN within 1 year, from December 18, 2020, to December 18, 2021. TORN that aren’t redeemed will be swept into the governance contract after 1 year and become part of the DAO Treasury. Redeemed TORN will be available immediately.
|
||
|
||
The airdropped amount depends on users’ deposit size and age — larger deposits and older deposits will receive more TORN. Multipliers for deposit size are logarithmic:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
So a 100 ETH deposit get twice as many tokens as a 1 ETH deposit. The multiplier allows large and small users of [Tornado.Cash](https://tornado.cash) to both have a say in governance.
|
||
|
||
The exact curve for the time multiplier looks like this:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The exact airdrop formula is the following:
