Privacy is a hot topic now.
@hinkal_protocol has just entered the race, launching with Tor-level network privacy, native private bridging, and a scalable rewards system to boost adoption.
[Product report] ↓
Hinkal isn’t a normal wallet.
It’s a shielded account that hides your balances, your activity, and the links between your transactions.
You move assets in (shield), do your swaps/bridges privately, and move them out to a fresh public address without revealing the trail.
It’s your on-chain identity without the exposure.
Worth remembering that this used to be a gated product and for a long time, this wallet sat behind invite codes.
Now it’s live.
Public access changes both the pace and the expectation around the product.
Privacy also moves beyond on-chain actions in this release.
Wallet traffic is routed through Tor, hiding the user’s IP and removing the direct link between a device and any RPC endpoint.
It adds network-level anonymity on top of the existing protections.
Movement across chains changes as well.
@hinkal_protocol now supports private bridging: unshield → bridge → shield on the new chain, breaking the link between the origin and the destination.
It’s one of the clearer ways to avoid cross-chain traceability.
Brotherhoods are @hinkal_protocol's team-based groups that share tasks and a common leaderboard.
In this update, Brotherhoods get their own expanded set of tasks, and teams that place higher receive an additional points multiplier, shifting part of the rewards system toward group-driven progress.
Oh! And the task system has been expanded as well.
Daily actions and longer-term achievements now contribute separate point increments, giving users a clearer way to track progress across both routine activity and milestone-based goals.
At this point, the update touches every part of the wallet from access to privacy to incentives. But private defaults only matter if the day-to-day flow feels natural enough for users to stick with it.
The real test starts now, as patterns show whether the expanded stack fits into regular DeFi habits.
