Common is a privacy layer for Web3 that combines a decentralized exchange, shielder contracts, and an MPC wallet to break the traceability of crypto activity without centralized exchanges. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to protect user privacy and mitigate MEV and frontrunning.
Tornado Cash is a non-custodial privacy protocol on Ethereum that enables anonymous transactions by breaking the on-chain link between sender and recipient. It uses smart contracts to accept deposits from one address and allow withdrawals from a different address, providing privacy for users on multiple EVM-compatible chains.
