Hello guys!
I am new to Incognito, so maybe my questions may seem silly to you.
My question is how to “convert” BTC, ETH or any other public token to Incognito native coin (perform a shielding) programmatically? For example, using RPC or NodeJS SDK.
I have found this article - Portal’s API documentation. It contains an explanation of how to shield a public token using RPC. The thing is that I would like to perform a shielding using NodeJS SDK because it is easier and I have already got some experience of working with the SDK. Does anyone know how to to perform a shielding via SDK?
I have read the docs and found out (and implemented in testnet) how to transfer a native token but I can’t figure out how to convert a public token into the private one. I have found an opportunity to follow a token (followTokenById(tokenId: string) => void
) and transfer transactions using this token but I don’t understand how it is related to shielding. Could someone please explain it to me?
Thanks for your support, I appreciate your help.
