Shield / Unshield / Transfer Privately

At the heart of Veilon are three simple actions that give you full control over your privacy without changing the way you use crypto. These actions form the foundation of the Veilon privacy layer:

Shield Step into the Private Zone

Want to hide your wallet balance or unlink your onchain identity? Shielding lets you move your assets into a private state, where:

• The amount you shield is completely hidden

• Your wallet address is no longer traceable

• The funds sit inside a zero knowledge commitment pool

Once shielded, these assets can no longer be tracked by block explorers, bots, or third parties.

Think of it like depositing cash into a private vault you still own it, but no one can see it anymore.

Transfer Send Assets, Invisibly

Need to pay someone, tip a creator, or move funds across wallets without exposing either party? With Veilon’s shielded transfer system:

• The sender, recipient, and transaction amount are fully private

• There’s no visible connection between the sending and receiving addresses

• Transactions are verified by zk-SNARKs, ensuring validity without revealing any data

• You can even use stealth addresses or QR based private links making it as easy as sending an email, but completely anonymous

It’s like passing a sealed envelope under the table no one watching knows what was inside or who gave it.

Unshield Exit Privately, On Your Terms

When you're ready to bring your funds back into the open, unshielding lets you:

• Withdraw funds from the private pool to a public wallet

• Choose when, where, and how much to reveal or not reveal

• Still retain unlinkability the unshielded wallet has no trace of the source wallet

Unshielding is seamless and gas efficient. No special knowledge required. Just click, confirm, and move on all while staying off the radar.

Unshielding is like withdrawing from an ATM: you get the cash, but no one knows which account it came from.
