Description
SHIELD is PIVX’s named optional privacy feature for shielded transactions. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to validate transactions without revealing their details; SHIELD-to-SHIELD transactions conceal addresses, amounts, and encrypted memo content. Users can choose transparent or shielded transactions and selectively share shielded-address or transaction details with trusted third parties using specialized viewing keys.Category: Privacy Pool
