1. Extra Security (toggle)

How it works

By default, you will generate ZK Proofs externally on AWS Nitro enclave. By turning on Extra Security, you will generate ZK Proofs locally inside your browser. While more secure, you sacrifice loading speed.

  • ON (More Secure) – Zero-knowledge proofs are generated locally in your browser.

  • OFF (Faster) – Proofs are generated in an AWS Nitro Enclave.

Step-by-step

  1. Settings → Extra Security.

  2. Flip the switch to the mode you prefer.

2. Contacts

Save public or private addresses for more convenience.

Add a contact

  1. Settings → Contacts → Add New Contact.

  2. Paste the address (public 0x… or Hinkal private address).

  3. Give it a nickname and tap the avatar circle to upload an image (optional).

  4. Click Add.

Your entry now appears in your contact’s list.

Edit / delete

  • In Settings → Contacts click the pencil icon next to a name to change the fields or click Delete to remove the contact.

3. Auto-Lock Timer

Locks the extension after set time of inactivity and you’ll need the password to reopen it.

Default – 15 minutes.

Step-by-step

  1. Settings → Auto-Lock Timer.

  2. Click the interval you want to set.

  3. Click Close

4. View Recovery Phrase

Your 12-word seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet. Keep it safe and don’t share it with anyone.

Step-by-step

  1. Settings → View Recovery Phrase.

  2. Enter your wallet password for confirmation.

  3. Tap Unhide Phrase to reveal the words.

  4. Copy Phrase if you need to back it up elsewhere, then store it offline.

5. Logout Button

Click the Logout button to lock the wallet behind the password immediately.
