Shield and unshield
Markets here only hold shielded tokens — that is what keeps who lent to whom private. Shielding swaps a token for its shielded twin, 1:1 and reversible whenever you want.

Send an unshielded token and receive the same amount of its shielded twin.

Shield once, then you are unlinked
Shielding is the only step that names your address. Everything you do in a market afterwards — lending, borrowing, repaying — cannot be traced back to it, so it is worth holding a shielded balance rather than shielding for each transaction.
Your balances
Only the shielded side can be lent, borrowed against, or posted as collateral.
Connect a wallet to see what you hold.
Wrapper contracts
One per asset. Each holds the reserves backing every shielded unit it has minted, so a shielded balance is always redeemable 1:1.
Shielding is the one step that touches your public address — after it, nothing you do in a market is linked to you.
