To use funds privately, you must first shield them into a 0zk address. Shielded assets, 0zk addresses, and associated activity are hidden from public view 🛡️
Assets to shield held in your Terminal Wallet public address AND/OR network base token (e.g., ETH for Ethereum/Arbitrum, BNB for BSC, & MATIC for Polygon)
Select 'Shield ERC20s' to shield non base token assets. To shield base tokens (ETH/BNB/MATIC), select 'Shield [Base Token]'
Base tokens are automatically wrapped when shielded.
The maximum amount is pre-filled. If you press enter without entering in any values, it will automatically proceed with the maximum possible balance.
If this is the first time shielding this asset, then you will need to approve spending it.
Pressing Enter on 'Send Transaction' will submit the transaction to the blockchain and cannot be reversed or edited so ensure transaction details are correct before proceeding.
After the transaction is sent, you will be taken back to the Main Balance Screen and your private & public balances will update once the transaction is confirmed.
If you wish to bypass having to send assets to the 0x address in Terminal Wallet and have funds in your 0zk address directly, you can connect another Web3 wallet to Token Shielder.
Simply copy your 0zk address and shield into it from Token Shielder.
