Tornado Cash with Halo2
We are going to rewrite the “original” Tornado. Not Tornado Nova. Nova is a newer version which is really interesting too but more complicated, so won’t look into it for now.

Tornado Cash with Halo2
Circuits were written with Circom and that’s what we’re going to change. We’ll rewrite those circuits with Halo2, the PSE implementation (the KZG one, i’ll tell you more about it in the next section).

A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
When starting with Halo2, keep in mind that there are two flavors of the framework out there: the vanilla one maintained by ZCash, and the fork by Ethereum's Privacy and Scaling Explorations team which uses a different polynomial commitment (KZG instead of IPA) that's more friendly for Ethereum.
