# Overview

**Hinkal Prime** is the organization dashboard for private payouts. Teams hold balances, pay recipients, and review activity, with the private balance held inside the Hinkal smart contract instead of a public wallet.

#### Prime supports:

* [x] Paying one recipient privately
* [x] Paying hundreds of recipients from a single file
* [x] Preparing payouts without holding keys, and approving them with the wallet
* [x] Receiving funds privately into the organization balance
* [x] Moving funds between the public balance and the private balance

Sign in with Google. The Owner connects the organization wallet.

### On-Chain Behavior

Under the hood, a payout with Confidential Settlement:

* Deposits funds into the Hinkal smart contract instead of transferring directly to the recipient's public wallet
* Associates the deposit with the recipient's public address

The recipient does not receive an on-chain transfer to their EOA wallet. Instead, funds appear as a private balance within the Hinkal contract, cryptographically linked to their public wallet.

A payout with Direct delivery is a standard on-chain transfer.

A batch settles as one authorized run, so the organization signs once for the whole file rather than once per recipient.

### Privacy Properties

Hinkal Prime ensures:

* Recipient wallets do not appear as the on-chain receiver when Confidential Settlement is used
* Organization balances remain private
* Payroll and vendor volumes cannot be easily tracked or clustered
* Payout relationships across an organization are not publicly exposed
* Members can prepare and review payouts without holding keys or connecting a wallet

Externally, observers see deposits into the Hinkal smart contract without attribution to specific operational wallets.

### Mental Model

* Your organization wallet remains your identity and control key.
* Public chains show what is sent directly to that wallet.
* Hinkal introduces a private balance layer controlled by that same wallet, and Prime is the place a team operates it together.

**The wallet is the key. Prime is the room where the team uses it.**
