Could you please elaborate on whether Tornado Cash truly operates in a decentralized manner? I'm interested in understanding the extent to which its operations are free from central control or interference. Does it rely on a network of nodes that are not governed by a single entity, ensuring that transactions are processed and verified in a decentralized fashion? Additionally, are there any aspects of Tornado Cash's architecture or operations that may undermine its decentralization claims? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "max supply of tornado cash"? Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol that allows users to obscure the origins and destinations of cryptocurrency transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. It does not have a traditional "supply" like a cryptocurrency token or coin would, as it is not a standalone asset but rather a tool or service. If you are referring to the maximum number of transactions that can be processed or obfuscated by Tornado Cash, that is a complex question that would depend on a variety of factors such as network congestion, gas prices, and the specific implementation of the Tornado Cash protocol. However, it's worth noting that there are limits to the amount of privacy that can be provided by mixing services like Tornado Cash, and that regulators and law enforcement agencies have been increasingly scrutinizing the use of such tools for illicit purposes.
