Methods:

Here we checked ethereum.core.dim_labels table to see where are the TORNADO addresses.

After that we checked ethereum.core.fact_transactions table in term of tx counts and eth_value column to get the value or volume to feed our analyze.

Then grouped them by value and count of tx of TORNADO by volume and address_name of each address.

In this charts bellow we have counted the tx_hash for our TORNADO related tx in three duration contains last month, last three month and last year.

As we see people used to use both proxy and router address from last year but as we com to present days they tend to prefer the router over proxy.

Here in transaction volumes in three duration contains last month, last three month and last year we have the similar pattern to the count of transactions as we mentioned earlier over the time till this sanction.

They immigrated from proxy to router but more rapidly.

Another thing is that rich people use preferred addresses more and stay on the same page.

Here In this three charts that shows the categorized amount of etherum value for each tx and summed the amount of etherum value for each category in three duration contains last month, last three month and last year.

As we see this TORNADO is mostly filled by rich people transactions from last year.

Over the time after rich people we can see that the lost a bit of dominance and people with less money got evolved more.

Conclusion:

As we saw in my analyze here from last year we have TORNADO for rich people as total crypto is kind of theirs for some laundry proposes and maybe other good proposes.

After that other people too came to use TORNADO.
