Veil - Private Transactions on Base

Privacy and shielded transactions on Base via Veil Cash. Deposit ETH into a private pool, withdraw/transfer privately using ZK proofs.

How It Works

• Deposit - Send ETH to private pool (public → private)

• Transfer - Move funds privately (private → private)

• Withdraw - Exit to public address (private → public)

All private operations use ZK proofs - no one can link your deposits to withdrawals.

Commands

Setup

/veil init Initialize Veil keypair /veil status Check config and relay health

Balance

/veil balance Check all balances /veil queue Check queue balance (pending deposits) /veil private Check private balance

Operations

/veil deposit <amount> Deposit ETH to private pool /veil withdraw <amount> <address> Withdraw to public address /veil transfer <amount> <veil-key> Private transfer to another user /veil merge Merge UTXOs (consolidate)

Examples

/veil init /veil balance /veil deposit 0.1 /veil withdraw 0.05 0x1234...

Security Notes

• Never share your VEIL_KEY - it controls your private funds

• Store keypair securely (chmod 600)

• Use dedicated RPC to avoid rate limits

Setup

Initialize creates keypair

/veil init

Or manually set:

export VEIL_KEY="..." # Your Veil private key export PRIVATE_KEY="0x..." # For deposits (public tx)

Requirements

• ETH on Base for deposits and gas

• Node.js for ZK proof generation

• Veil SDK: npm install -g @veil-cash/sdk
