Go Private with Aztec.
Shield moves your funds onto Aztec's private layer and back. Every transfer is screened at entry and exit, so the privacy you get is privacy you can keep.

Open Shield →How to get started.
Connect your wallets
Bring an Ethereum wallet and an Aztec wallet. Shield never takes your keys.
Verify your personhood
Your Human Passport, or Proof of Clean Hands for larger amounts, confirms it's really you.
Top up gas
Add a little fee juice so you can transact once you're on Aztec.
Bridge in, screened
Your funds are screened for clean provenance before they cross over.
Bridge out, re-screened
Exits are re-screened before release, so what you withdraw is provably clean.
Two tiers, sized to what you're moving.
Already hold a Human Passport? You're pre-qualified for the lighter tier the moment you connect, no extra setup.
A couple of things worth knowing.
Save your backup
Keep your wallet backup somewhere safe before you start. It's the thing that gets you back in if anything on your end goes wrong.
Stay on the tab
Leave the tab open while a bridge is in progress. Closing it or navigating away can make recovery hard and put your funds at risk.
Bridges take a little time: roughly 5 to 25 minutes in, and longer on the way out.
Privacy you can stand behind.
Shield doesn't just screen the tokens moving through it. It confirms the person behind them too, without ever exposing who you are.
Proof of Personhood
Confirms a real, unique human is behind the transfer, sourced from your Human Passport.
Proof of Clean Hands
A ZK government ID check that proves you're a verified, screened person, without revealing the ID itself.
Proof of Innocence
Your funds are screened against sanctions and watchlist data before they're allowed to move privately.

Questions, answered.
Shield is the private bridge to Aztec from human.tech. It moves your funds onto Aztec’s private layer and back, screening every transfer at entry and exit, so the privacy you get is privacy you can keep.
Bridging in typically takes about 5 to 25 minutes. Bridging out takes longer, since exits are re-screened before your funds are released.
A flat 0.5% fee, with no hidden costs.
Human Passport is a humanity check with no government ID required, and covers bridging under $1,000. Proof of Clean Hands is a ZK government-ID check for bridging over $1,000: it proves your identity without revealing the ID itself.

Yes. Shield has been independently audited by Nethermind, Halborn, and Hexens. Audit reports are available on request.
Keep the tab open until your bridge finishes. Closing or navigating away mid-bridge can make it hard to recover and put your funds at risk. Save your backup before you start, just in case.
No. Shield never takes custody of your keys or funds. You stay in self-custody the whole time.
Shield is built on Clean SDK.
The same programmable privacy primitives that power Shield, personhood, clean funds, and gated disclosure, are available as an SDK. Add private, screened transactions to your own app.
