# Shield/Unshield assets between BNBChain and Railgun

Below is a step-by-step guide for shielding/unshielding USDC between BNBChain and Railgun.

#### Before you start

You will need:

1. An EVM wallet (Metamask, Rabby, Coinbase, etc.)
2. A Railgun private wallet (`0zk...`)

## Shield USDC (BNBChain ⇒ Railgun)

### Step 1: Connect Wallet

1. Open [Liberty Swap Finance](https://libertyswap.finance/)
2. Click **Connect Wallet**
3. Select your wallet
4. Make sure BNBChain is selected in your wallet

### Step 2: Select Shield Mode

On Liberty Swap Finance, choose **Shield Mode**

* This means you are depositing USDC into Ralgun's zero-knowledge privacy pool

>
> Only you can decrypt and access this balance

**If you enter the wrong 0zk address, your funds are permanently lost.**

2. **Complete** the transaction
