Understanding the Main account and Proxies

Hinkal gives every wallet two types of accounts:

Main account

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 are Proxies needed

Many dApps request stateful transactions—open orders, collateral, votes, NFT listings, etc. Those actions can’t originate from a hidden balance, so Hinkal routes them through one of your Proxies. Example uses:

Staking on Lido
Providing liquidity on Curve or Balancer
Supplying collateral to Aave or Compound

Tokens that increase in amount (rebasing tokens) also need to be stored on Proxies to accrue yield. When stored on the Main account, they can not increase in amount.

Example tokens:

Lido's stETH
Aave v3 aTokens like aDAI or aWETH

Moving funds between the two balances

1. Fund — move assets to Proxy (Main → Proxy)

In the Main home, press Fund.
Select tokens from your Main account.
Enter the amounts (quick 50% / max buttons help).
(Optional) Choose Gas Token
Hit Fund to confirm

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; those assets disappear from the Proxy and re-enter your Main account.
