summary

Hinkal has launched Invisible Wallet, a privacy-focused wallet that hides on-chain transactions, enables private interactions in decentralized apps, and is fully compatible with DeFi.
The wallet supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and Optimism, plans to expand to more networks, and can be accessed via a secure browser extension for private transactions.
The announcement comes amid growing privacy concerns in the cryptocurrency space, highlighted by the theft of more than $2.17 billion in the first half of 2025 due to exposed addresses.

In a press release shared with crypto.news, Hinkal, a blockchain privacy-focused company founded at Stanford University and Binance MVB, announced the Invisible Wallet, which aims to provide users with complete privacy of their digital transactions. This wallet hides your transaction history and allows on-chain purchases without revealing your financial activity. This is achieved through advanced privacy technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs, stealth addresses, and trusted execution environments.

“We believe that privacy is a fundamental right. Consumers would not share their bank statements with strangers, and there is no reason why digital transactions should not be subject to the same scrutiny,” said Georgi Corelli, co-founder and CEO of Hinkal.

Compatible with Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and Optimism, Hinkal’s wallet plans to expand to more EVM-based networks. Users can access their crypto wallets through a secure browser extension, allowing private interactions between decentralized applications while maintaining full functionality.

The launch of Hinkal’s Invisible Wallet comes amid growing concerns about privacy in the cryptocurrency space. Traditional cryptocurrency wallets expose transaction history, making users targets for theft. In the first half of this year alone, more than $2.17 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen from publicly exposed addresses.

The demand for privacy is further emphasized by the growing popularity of projects like Zcash, which use an encryption technology called zk‑SNARKs, allowing users to prove that a transaction is valid without revealing the underlying data.
