Features
Hinkal's core features overview
Public and Private Accounts
Hinkal Wallet includes two account modes within a single interface:
a public account, which functions as a standard on-chain wallet
a confidential account, where balances and transactions are not exposed on-chain
Users can switch between these accounts at any time.
Assets can be purchased from a public account, through MoonPay integration - Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Credit Card (minimum purchase $20 worth of any asset). After purchase:
shield from the public into the private account
unshield back to the public account when needed
Incoming funds can also be auto-shielded.
Privacy
The private account enables transactions without exposing on-chain activity.
Within the private account:
balances are not publicly visible
transfers do not expose sender, recipient, or amount on-chain
Transfers between confidential balances remain fully confidential on-chain.
Transfers from a private account to a public wallet are executed as standard on-chain transactions, while the sender, original confidential balance and prior activity remain private.
Transactions
From the wallet, users can:
send and receive funds from both public and confidential accounts
execute transfers between confidential accounts
swap and bridge assets within the wallet
All actions can be performed using any assets and supported networks (Solana, Ethereum, and major EVM chains).
Composability
Hinkal Wallet connects to decentralized applications in the same way as standard wallets.
Users can:
connect their wallet to any dApp
interact using their public account (standard on-chain interaction)
use confidential balances when privacy is required
For additional separation, users can generate temporary accounts for specific dApp interactions and then move funds into their confidential balance.
On-Chain Visibility
Wallet activity is executed through the Hinkal smart contract
As a result:
confidential balances are not visible on-chain
private-to-private transfers don't expose sender, recipient, and amounts
private-to-public transfers keep sender wallet confidential
Self-Custody
Hinkal Wallet is fully self-custodial.
users retain full control of private keys and assets
no third party can access or move funds
all transactions are signed by the user
Compliance
Hinkal Wallet supports reporting and audit workflows.
transaction history can be exported by preferred timeframe
users can disclose activity when required
The system is designed to support confidentiality by default, with optional transparency when needed.
