# Withdraw

Withdraw moves funds from your **private balance** to a public wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Withdrawals move funds out of VOID privacy and back to a public address.
{% endhint %}

### Steps

1. Connect your wallet and unlock your private balance.
2. Open **Withdraw**.
3. Select the token and amount.
4. Enter the public address that should receive the funds. This can be any address, not only your own.
5. Confirm. The hosted proof service builds the proof, and the **VOID relayer submits the transaction** and pays the gas. If the relayer is unavailable, the app says so and offers a clearly labelled option to submit from your own wallet instead, which pays the ETH gas and appears as the on-chain sender.

### Fees

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Network Gas</strong></td><td>None for you. The VOID relayer pays it on testnet. If you choose to submit from your own wallet instead, your wallet pays it in ETH.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Relay Fee</strong></td><td>None on testnet.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>VOID Withdrawal Fee</strong></td><td>None on testnet.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### What Is Public

A withdrawal reveals:

* receiving address
* token
* amount
* the VOID relayer as the transaction sender

Your wallet address is not the on-chain sender when the relayer submits. If you choose to submit from your own wallet, your wallet address is visible on-chain as the sender.

### Privacy Considerations

{% hint style="warning" %}
Timing and amount patterns can make deposits and withdrawals easier to correlate.

Do not assume that delays or amount changes guarantee unlinkability.
{% endhint %}

Also remember that sending to a wallet already linked to your identity can associate the withdrawal with you.

{% hint style="info" %}
A withdrawal returns funds to the public chain.

Privacy inside VOID does not make the receiving public wallet private.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://void-protocol-2.gitbook.io/void-protocol-docs/user-guide/withdraw.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
