Account Management
Understanding the Main Account and Proxy
Hinkal gives every wallet two linked balances:
Main Account
Green UI
Inside the Hinkal smart-contract
Storing value and making the most private transactions.
Proxy
Grey UI
A smart-contract wallet that acts like an EOA
Any stateful dApp action (e.g. staking, lending)
Switching between accounts
Tap the account switcher in the top bar.
Pick Main Account (green) or Proxy (grey).
Why a Proxy is needed
Many dApps remember state about your address—open orders, collateral, votes, NFT listings, etc. Those actions can’t originate from a hidden balance, so Hinkal routes them through your Proxy. Example uses:
Staking on Lido
Providing liquidity on Curve or Balancer
Supplying collateral to Aave or Compound
Moving funds between the two balances
All transfers happen from the Proxy screen:
1. Fund — move assets to Proxy (Main → Proxy)
In the Proxy home, press Fund.
Select tokens from your Main Account.
Enter the amounts (quick 50% / max buttons help).
Hit Fund and sign; watch the bubbling animation while the transaction posts.
2. Shield — move assets back into Main Account (Proxy → Main)
On the Proxy home, tap Shield.
Pick the tokens that are currently in the Proxy.
Type the amounts (50 % / max shortcuts available).
Confirm the gas-token choice if needed.
Press Shield; once the animation finishes, those assets disappear from the Proxy and re-enter your Main Account.
Common patterns
Supply collateral on Aave
Fund → Supply collateral (from Proxy)
Swap privately
Main Account → Swap
Receive tokens privately, keep them private
Main Account → Receive
Send tokens privately to another wallet
Main Account → Send (from Main Account)
