Sending Tokens

Hinkal supports four types of transfers depending on you are sending from public or private account and where the recipient receives funds - public or private balance.

The flow is the same - the account you’re in + recipient type defines the behavior automatically. A built-in Contacts list streamlines repeat transfers, whether you’re paying a friend’s public wallet or another Hinkal Wallet.

Public → Public (Private Routing)

Looks like a normal transfer on the recipient side, without exposing your full wallet history

---

Public → Private

Use when sending from Public account to a private address

• Assets enter a confidential balance

• No public link between sender and recipient balance

• Recipient receives funds directly into their Private account

---

Private → Private

Use when sending between two Hinkal private accounts

• Fully confidential transfer

• Sender, recipient, asset, and amount are hidden on-chain

• No ERC-20 transfer event is visible

This is the highest privacy mode

---

Private → Public

Use when sending from Private account to a public address
