What Happens
When you deposit:
- Funds leave your wallet via Hyperliquid's deposit mechanism
- They enter Silhouette's shielded pool
- Your shielded balance updates (visible only to you)
The deposit transaction is visible on-chain, but once funds are in the shielded pool, your subsequent swaps are private.
