# About

### 🦇 About BindowsCash

BindowsCash is a decentralized privacy protocol built for the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Inspired by the core principles of **TornadoCash**, BindowsCash allows users to break the on-chain link between deposit and withdrawal addresses through a cryptographic commitment scheme and zero metadata tracking.

Our mission is to empower users with tools for **financial privacy**, **censorship resistance**, and **self-sovereignty** — without the need for trusted intermediaries.

***

#### 🛠️ Core Principles

* **Privacy by design**: BindowsCash enables unlinkable transactions using commitment hashes and anonymous withdrawals.
* **No accounts, no tracking**: We never store any user data or connect wallets beyond what's necessary for smart contract interaction.
* **Open-source ethos**: All smart contracts, frontend code, and documentation are transparent and verifiable.

***

#### 🔗 Built on BSC

We launched first on **BNB Smart Chain** to take advantage of its:

* Low gas fees
* Broad adoption
* EVM compatibility

***

#### 🎯 Why Bindows?

Just a combination of Binance and Windows, since Bindows operates on BSC and uses a nice retro theme of Windows95 to operate the public dApp.

> *"It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."*
