Tornado Cash protocol can be launched locally on your computer through a minified User Interface version made available by the core developers team.
Step #1: Clone the Github repository on your computer
By opening your Command Line Interface, you can run the following commands to, first, clone the repository, then go inside the newly copied folder:
1 git clone https://github.com/tornadocashdev/ui-minified.git
2 cd ui-minified
Step #2: Serve the Folder with Your Favorite HTTP Server
1 python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
You can obviously use any other http web server, such as npmjs.com/package/http-server.
Step #3: Run the UI on Localhost on your Favorite Web Browser
To finish, you just need to run http://localhost:8080 on your Web Browser & let the magic happens ๐ช
