# Private Transfers

**Please keep Railway open and active after sending a 0zk-0zk transfer (up to 30 seconds on desktop/web and 1-2 minutes on mobile) until a** [**Private Proof of Innocence**](/private-proofs-of-innocence.md) **is created. This will guarantee that the recipient will be able to use those tokens immediately.**

*In addition to privatizing funds, RAILGUN also supports robust completely sealed peer to peer payments. Just like a bank account or Venmo transaction, all details of a 0zk to 0zk transfer are hidden from public view, including sender, recipient, token type, and amount.*

### Sending a 0zk to 0zk Transfer

1. To start a Private Send, **click the "Send" button** on your 0zk balance screen.

4. Once the transaction is submitted to the blockchain, you will receive a notification. Please keep Railway open for a few moments after confirmation (30 seconds on desktop and 1-2 minutes on mobile) to ensure that tokens are immediately [spendable](/private-proofs-of-innocence.md) for your recipient.
5. You can **see the details of any Private Sends in your "Activity" tab**.

### Further Info

*Only the holder of the Private Key or Viewing Key can decrypt the details of a transaction. The image below is what the above example transaction looks like to anyone observing on a block explorer. The "From" address is the Broadcaster address and the "To" address is the RAILGUN smart contract whilst all other details are hidden except for gas paid.*

*To see for yourself, here is the block explorer link for this transaction:* [*https://arbiscan.io/tx/0x3d14156a2092096e00eb9a274bb3801abacda6dcc7856a5554ae1fab67da7697*](https://arbiscan.io/tx/0x3d14156a2092096e00eb9a274bb3801abacda6dcc7856a5554ae1fab67da7697)
