A shielded send moves one of your notes to another Confi.cash user. The recipient gets a fresh note, and the transfer amount is hidden from chain observers.

​
What you need

  • A shielded balance in the asset you want to send.
  • The recipient’s cb1... shielded address.
  • An available amount shown in the Send panel.
A cb1... shielded address is different from a public Stellar G... address. Use Cash out when you need to pay a public Stellar address.

​
Send a shielded note

1

Ask for a shielded address

The recipient opens their shielded identity card in Confi.cash and copies a cb1... address.
2

Open Send

Select Send from the home screen.
3

Enter the recipient

Paste the recipient’s complete cb1... address. Confi.cash rejects a public address or one of your own shielded addresses.
4

Choose an available note

Select the asset and amount. A send spends one whole note, so the available chips reflect notes you currently hold.
5

Prove and relay

Click Send shielded. Your browser generates the proof and encrypts the new note for the recipient. The relayer submits it without receiving your spend key.
When the app displays Sent confidentially, the recipient can rescan and see the note in their shielded balance.

​
What each party can see

  • Chain observers see that a valid pool action happened, but not the transferred amount or the recipient’s public Stellar address.
  • The recipient can decrypt the note and see the asset and amount they received.
  • The service operator can observe request metadata such as IP address and timing and associate the request with the public pool action it relays. It does not need your spend key or the plaintext transfer amount.
Verify a shielded address through a trusted channel. A valid proof cannot recover a note sent to the wrong cb1... address.
