Frequently asked questions.

Read the docs
Shielding is public and reveals your address, asset, and amount shielded. Once in the pool, zero-knowledge proofs let you use your funds privately. Withdrawing is also public, but does not reveal any link to your original deposit address. To learn more, see the Threat Model section of the docs.

Privacy Pools: Shield, Swap & Private Transfers

Questions about Privacy Pools Deposit, shielding ETH and USDC, private transfers, swaps and potential yield.

What is Privacy Pools Deposit?

A Privacy Pools deposit, also called shielding, places supported crypto assets into a shared pool. The entry transaction is public, so observers can still see the depositing address, asset and amount.

How do I shield ETH with Privacy Pools?

Shield ETH only when the specific network and ETH asset are supported by the application. Check the pool, gas fees and transaction details before using any live protocol; this page is informational and does not process deposits.

Can Privacy Pools shield USDC for private transfers?

Privacy Pools is designed around private use of supported assets, including USDC where enabled. Transfers inside the privacy system may hide transaction links, but deposits and withdrawals remain visible onchain.

What is the difference between shielding and a private USDC transfer?

Shielding moves public funds into a privacy pool. A private transfer uses funds already inside the privacy system. Exact privacy properties and supported networks depend on the implementation.

Does Privacy Pools Trade support private swaps?

Private swaps are part of the Privacy Pools product concept. Token pairs, liquidity, fees and availability may vary, so check the current official interface and documentation before attempting a swap.

Can I earn yield from shielded ETH or USDC?

Privacy Pools materials discuss earning yield alongside private asset management. Yield opportunities are not guaranteed, and any strategy can carry smart-contract, liquidity and market risks.

Are Privacy Pools transactions completely invisible?

No. Public-chain deposits and withdrawals remain visible. The privacy features aim to reduce the ability to link activity inside a pool with the original deposit; anonymity is not absolute.
