[App v4.7.0] Shielding & Un-Shielding ERC20 & BEP20 PRV

As recently announced, Incognito app users can now withdrawal PRV off the Incognito chain and onto the Ethereum network (ERC20) or Binance Smart Chain (BSC). If you missed the announcement and want to learn how it works check out this link:

Let’s learn how to Shield and Un-Shield PRV to/from the Incognito network.

Shielding PRV

Step 1 -

From the app home screen: tap on Assets > Shield my crypto > Search for Privacy (PRV) (see figure 1 - Privacy (PRV) asset selection).

Step 2 -

Next, select which network PRV will be sent from either Ethereum Network (see figure 2a) or Binance Smart Chain (see figure 2b).

Step 3 -

Check the network fee for this transaction (figure 3). If you are okay with this fee then continue to Step 4. Note: The fee amount is deducted from the amount of shielded funds.

Step 4 -

Click copy next to your Shield Address (see figure 4). After copying this address paste the address into your external wallet and send funds for shielding.

Hey guys, @Jared just heads up the tutorial here but the feature is only going to be released in the Incognito app in a few hours, we will keep you posted here once it goes live, sorry for the inconvenience!

The app has been released, you can update it from the app store now. For those who have a problem with the update, please be patient, give it some time and check back later, it could be because of the app store’s delay.

This is HUGE! Now incognito can be traded on other exchanges and Dex’s.

This changes everything, i may have to start scailing back into incognito!

@adrian has added some liquidity into PancakeSwap but the liquidity is low yet.

That’s an understatement: 74% price impact, lol. 1 BNB ≈ 225 PRV (assuming 1 PRV ≈ $1.88 & 1 BNB ≈ $423 ).

The slippage is real, yo!

Add more liquidity :wink:

I was just expanding on the low liquidity comment a bit. I’m certain someone will – if it hasn’t already happened – ape into a trade over there without considering the price impact/slippage.

Considering how many people still complain about the pDEX slippage – even with both LP amounts added to the trade screen – I can imagine the future rageposts: “PancakeSwap stole [my] BNB and gave me 50 PRV. FAKE!! SCAM!!1!!”

I disagree.

Yes, someone may fall into this mistake if she is an expert :joy: Pancakeswap (or similar clones) does not allow the high slippage for the default users. Either she has to enable Expert Mode or she has to write “confirm” into the warning popup dialog. If she does one of those intentionally, I think she is a highly competent trader and she deserves that high slippage :joy:

Thank you, and good to know!
