Bad user experience hinders adoption.
Tornado Cash is great in protecting userusers' financial privacy, but the bad user experience in the way the application works, hinders the mainstream adoption of the protocol. Specifically, the following describes how Tornado Cash and its forks work and why it hinders the adoption of the protocol.
When a user depositdeposits some funds to the smart contracts of the protocol, a secret note ((a long and unfriendly text in hex format) is generated per deposit. This is due to the technical specifics of the protocol that requires generating secret random values every time a user mademakes a deposit.
The secret note is later then required to withdraw funds from the smart contracts.
This works greatly in simple cases where each user does only one deposit at a time. However, when it comes to the mainstream, a user would normally hashave many deposits of different denominations. Due to how Tornado Cash (and its forks) currently works, the user has to store as many secret notes as the number of deposits. This makes the note management process cumbersome and hard for any normal user. Furthermore, this ismakes it also very hard for the user to trace back the transaction history of notes that the user made.
