# TORN ## Token TORN is an ERC20-compatible token with a fixed supply that governs [Tornado.Cash](https://tornadoeth.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 ETH pools * **10% (1,000,000 TORN):** Anonymity mining for 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 Users who have believed in TornadoCash 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 [tornadoeth.cash](https://tornadoeth.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 tornadoeth.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:
