Shield your funds

Move value from a public wallet into the shielded pool. This is the boundary between the public world and your private book.

1 — Get USDG on Robinhood Chain

Bridge in or swap on-chain so you hold USDG, the asset Cowl settles in.

2 — Shield

Your deposit is received on a fresh stealth address and recorded as a private note. The chain stores a commitment — never the amount.

3 — Confirm privately

Hygiene at the edge

Deposit amounts and timing are the one thing an observer can still see at the boundary. Prefer round amounts and avoid shielding and unshielding the exact same value back-to-back.

No gas token needed

Once you hold shielded funds, the gasless relayer pays gas and takes a small fee from your shielded balance.
