How Main account balances appear on dApps

Context

Every user’s Main account balance is stored inside Hinkal smart contract. When you connect, the dApp only sees the aggregated smart contract, not your individual balance.

How it works

• On the dApp you might see $100 even though you hold $5.

What to do

1. Open Hinkal first and copy your real balance by hovering over next to it on the Home page.

2. Enter that amount (or less) in the dApp’s input field.

3. Submit and sign
