Convert to Public Tokens

The Private Tokens dashboard offers Portal Out, which converts private tokens back into standard public tokens. The portal uses the same pattern as Portal In: when the bridge needs permission to move your private balance, you Approve first, then confirm the withdrawal.

1

Unlock and choose the asset

• Ensure your private balances are unlocked (see Setup Portal Account — Unlock private tokens).

• Select the asset from your Private Tokens list and enter the amount you want to withdraw.

2

Approve (when the portal asks)

• If the modal shows an Approve step, confirm it in MetaMask. This grants the privacy bridge permission to spend the private token amount you are withdrawing (encrypted allowance), similar to approving a public ERC-20 before Portal In.

• Wait until the approval transaction is confirmed. The UI will then let you continue to the actual withdrawal.

Native p.COTI withdrawals also use an approval step for the native privacy bridge when required by the app flow.

3

Confirm Portal Out (withdraw)

• Click Portal Out (or the button shown to complete the withdrawal) and confirm the transaction in MetaMask.

• The private tokens are burned on the private side and the corresponding public tokens return to your wallet.
