ShieldzSwap to and from Abstract
Abstract is an Ethereum layer 2 built on the ZKsync stack, aimed at consumer apps. It settles to Ethereum and pays gas in ETH, at a fraction of mainnet's cost. Shieldz gets prices for Abstract from NEAR Intents at the same time and shows you the best one before you sign.

Swapping Abstract: common questions
How do I swap to Abstract?
Open Shieldz Swap, pick the coin you have and ETH on Abstract as the coin you want, then paste a Abstract address you control. Shieldz shows a quote from each protocol, and you sign the deposit in your own wallet.
Which Abstract tokens can I swap?
Right now: ETH. The list comes from the router's live catalogue and grows as the protocols add assets.
How long does a swap to or from Abstract take?
It depends on the route and on confirmations on the chain you send from. The app shows an estimate on every quote.
What does it cost?
Shieldz charges 0.15% on every swap. On top of that you pay the network fee on the chain you send from and the swap protocol's own pricing, which is already included in the quote. Wallet swap features typically charge 0.25% to 1%.

To pay from Abstract: Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, MetaMask, Phantom, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet and WalletConnect. To receive on Abstract, paste any Abstract address you control.
Is it safe? Do I need an account?
There is no account and no sign-up. Shieldz never holds your funds or keys: you sign every swap in your own wallet, and the protocol sends the result straight to your address.
