Account Management

Understanding the Main Account and Proxy

Hinkal gives every wallet two linked balances:

Balance	Colour theme	Lives where?	Best for
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

1. Tap the account switcher in the top bar.

2. 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)

1. In the Proxy home, press Fund.

2. Select tokens from your Main Account.

3. Enter the amounts (quick 50% / max buttons help).

4. (Optional) Choose Gas Token

5. Hit Fund and sign; watch the bubbling animation while the transaction posts.

Step 1 - Click Fund

Step 2 - Select Tokens

Step 3 - Input and Fund

2. Shield — move assets back into Main Account (Proxy → Main)

1. On the Proxy home, tap Shield.

2. Pick the tokens that are currently in the Proxy.

3. Type the amounts (50 % / max shortcuts available).

4. Confirm the gas-token choice if needed.

5. Press Shield; once the animation finishes, those assets disappear from the Proxy and re-enter your Main Account.

Step 1 - Click Shield

Step 2 - Choose Tokens

Step 3 - Input and Shield

Common patterns

Goal	Action sequence
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)
