One of the biggest barriers to private crypto has always been getting in the door.
Buying, transferring, and bridging before you can actually do anything.
Shield's built-in on-ramps remove that friction. Fund your wallet directly and you're ready to go.
A clear breakdown of why privacy belongs at the protocol level, not bolted on after the fact.
@AleoHQ is the chain that makes this possible. Shield is the wallet that puts it in your hands.
Most blockchains are transparent by default, so every salary, balance, and trading strategy you put onchain is permanently public.
@AleoHQ is a Layer 1 that flips that, making privacy the foundation and enforcing it with math instead of trust.
If you're still on Leo Wallet, now is the time to make the move to Shield.
A formal sunset is coming, and migrating ahead of it means doing it on your own schedule rather than against a deadline.
The process takes less than two minutes, and your accounts and balances carry over.
Leo Wallet is being deprecated. Shield is what comes next 🛡️
Provable acquired Leo Wallet in 2025, and since then, the team has been building Shield as the primary wallet for Aleo.
Shield is now live on iOS, Android, and Chrome and migrating is simple.
Someone receiving aid in a displaced community. A small business paying vendors. A freelancer accepting stablecoin payments. A family transferring money across borders.
None of those people need their financial activity on a public ledger. Shield was built for them.

A release focused on making Aleo easier to run, easier to observe, and easier to build on.

Hardware wallet security and zero-knowledge privacy used to live in separate worlds.
Today they don't.
A significant moment for private crypto, made possible by @AleoHQ and @Ledger.
Aleo is the first blockchain to support shielded transactions on @Ledger 🛡️
For years, this gap has been an open problem.
Hardware wallets were originally built for transparent chains, not private execution.
Shielded transactions require generating zero-knowledge proofs over
This isn't a roadmap item or a future promise.
USDCx and USAD are live in Shield right now, and Shield is the only wallet where you can hold, send, and receive them on Aleo.
Bring your dollars onchain, privately.
shield.app
USDCx and USAD on @AleoHQ were built to solve this.
Both are dollar-pegged, backed by regulated reserves, and encrypt your transaction data using zero-knowledge proofs.
The stability of a dollar-denominated asset with the privacy your financial activity deserves. That's what Shield and Aleo make possible.
Stablecoins are how most people actually use crypto day to day.
Think payments, savings, and transfers. But on public chains, every one of those transactions is visible to anyone.
Your balance, who you're paying, how much, and how often is permanently on display.
