Shielding transactions with Mantapay requires a #zkaddress. This should not be confused with the Manta Network address. What are the differences?
Substrate addresses store and manage assets on the @Polkadot and @kusamanetwork ecosystems. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger.
Manta Network is a project built on Substrate; once @MantaNetwork launches its parachain, you can generate and manage your Manta Network address on Substrate.
ZkAddresses, on the other hand, are used for all private transactions in the @MantaNetwork ecosystem. To use a #zkAddress, you must transfer your assets from Substrate.
To onboard your assets to MantaPay, you will need both a #zkAddress (private transactions) and a Manta Network address (to pay gas fees for a transaction).
If you transact assets on the Manta Network address, your transactions are public. But once you move your assets to your #zkAddress, those transactions through your zkAddress will be private.
When assets are transferred back from a #zkAddress to a Manta Network address, future transactions on the Manta Network address will be recorded on the public ledger but all previous transactions made on the #zkAddress will remain private.
