Hinkal is partnering with Superfluid Wallet (sfwallet) to bring privacy to agentic on-chain finance. Private payments and balances that an AI agent can manage are coming soon to the Superfluid Wallet, with Hinkal pointing to a follow-up announcement for more detail.
Hinkal-powered private payments are now live in the @0xPolygon (Polygon) wallet. Users can shield or unshield between public and private balances with a single click inside the familiar wallet interface — sender, recipient, and amount stay private, with no custody or workflow changes.

Hinkal reports that 11 teams have shipped its privacy layer into their products over the past few weeks, with more to come. Wallets, DEXs, payroll, merchant payments, and AI agents have added private balances and transfers without changing their existing workflows or custody.

Hinkal x P2Flux is live on Base. P2Flux merchants can now settle USDC payments and subscriptions into a private balance controlled by the wallet they already use, while the merchant's balance and payouts stay off the public ledger.
Hinkal now powers private swaps on HyperDEX, letting users trade 100+ tokens across supported chains with settlement in seconds and near-zero fees, plus built-in privacy. Both same-chain and cross-chain swaps are supported in a single flow.

Hinkal has partnered with FinOn to bring privacy to stablecoin payouts. FinOn, which powers payment operations for fintechs and payment service providers, will let businesses settle payouts in stablecoins without exposing payment amounts or transaction relationships on-chain.
The partnership applies Hinkal's private-transaction layer to B2B payments, adding confidentiality to a use case — payroll and supplier payouts — where on-chain exposure is a real concern. Hinkal points to a follow-up post with further detail on how the integration works.

Hinkal Pay now supports private bridging to HyperCore, letting users fund their Hyperliquid trading accounts privately and directly from their wallet balance. The feature sits under "Bridge and Send in One Go" in Quick Actions, with USDC on HyperCore selectable as the destination.
Hinkal has launched its Partner Portal, a program that lets third-party products add privacy through the Hinkal API and earn revenue on usage. Partners sign up, generate an API key, drop it into their API calls, set their own fee, and go live — earning on every transaction that runs through their key.
The portal positions the Hinkal API as an integration point for apps and platforms that want to offer private transactions without building the infrastructure themselves. Further details on eligibility and fee mechanics were not included in the announcement.

Hinkal is now live on Arc, adding privacy to stablecoin payments, settlements, and payouts on the network. Users can hold and spend private balances from their existing wallet keys, with senders, recipients, and amounts kept confidential, in what Hinkal describes as "compliant by design."

Hinkal is now integrated into the WDK (Wallet Development Kit) by Tether, letting developers add privacy to wallets and apps built on the kit. Users can send stablecoins and other assets with the sender, recipient, and amount kept private, with Hinkal pointing to a blog post with more detail on the integration.
Per third-party token trackers, Hinkal launched a community presale of its native $HINK token, allocating up to 5% of total supply (verified via aggregators, not an official Hinkal channel).
Hinkal announced the upcoming launch of the Shared Privacy Protocol to enable cross-chain privacy via anonymity staking, the framework underlying its V2 dApp and the hETH liquid privacy token.
The strategic round was led by SALT Fund (AJ Scaramucci's fund), with Draper Associates, SNZ Capital, and Peer VC, structured as a SAFE plus token warrants.
Hinkal announced a $4.1M seed round led by Draper Associates (with Psalion, NGC Ventures, Aquanow, No Limit Holdings, Orange DAO, and DraperDragon) alongside deployment of the protocol to mainnet on six EVM chains.
