# Anonymity Set

### Anonymity Set 

When a user deposits into a pool, the transaction is layered with subsequent deposits increasing the effectiveness of the anonymity set. The anonymity set’s effectiveness depends on:

* The total amount of deposits 
* The volume of transactions

An Anonymity Set is a group of entities that have the same attributes, making them indistinguishable from each other in the context of an attacker. Tokens going into the Sacred pool contribute to and become part of the anonymity set.

The Sacred pool is visualized below

We now examine the user’s journey into and out of the Sacred pool, and the steps that take place during that process.
