short answers.

a non-custodial private wallet on elysium. you keep a public wallet, which everyone can see, and a private balance, which only you can see. four tools move value around: shield, swap, earn and bridge. hushswap never holds your funds.

that someone deposited and someone withdrew. nothing connects those two events to each other, or to you. private sends show nothing at all, because they happen inside the private balance and not on the public chain.

kinetiq elysium, currently the testnet (chain 99801), with HYPE as the gas token. the mainnet is not public yet. you can change the endpoint the app reads from in settings.

no. this build is a mock. every figure is an example, no real keys are created, and nothing you do here moves real money. the screens show how the product will behave once the backend is connected.

open shield, pick a token and an amount, and deposit from your public wallet. after a short wait the amount shows up in your private balance. the deposit itself is a normal public transaction.

yes, one hop back. if you fund the private balance straight from your main wallet, the deposit is public and points at that wallet. for no link at all, deposit through swap from another chain or from an exchange, so the funds arrive from somewhere unrelated to your main wallet.

paste a hush1… address into shield and send. the payment moves inside the private balance, so nothing shows up on chain. to receive, share your own hush1… address; incoming payments appear in your private balance.

withdraw, also called unshielding, sends funds from the private balance to any address you choose. use a fresh address if you can. sending them straight back to a wallet already tied to you would put the trail back.

a wallet separate from the one you connect. it has its own random keys, stored encrypted in this browser under a passphrase you choose. create it once in setup. your connected wallet never sees those keys.

with the 24-word recovery phrase. it is the only way to restore the private wallet somewhere else, so write it down and keep it offline. if you lose both the phrase and this browser’s data, the funds cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. you can also download a backup file from keys.

after 30 idle minutes. unlocking asks for your passphrase again. closing the tab does not delete anything; the encrypted keys stay in this browser until you remove them.

a fresh public address you can give to an exchange or anyone paying you from outside. funds that arrive there sweep into your private balance. a relayer pays the gas, so you need no HYPE, and takes a small fee (currently 0.25%, an example figure).

only that a valid private transaction exists, and its fee. it cannot see who sent it, cannot change where the funds go, and cannot spend them.

a key that shows incoming payments and their amounts, and nothing more. it cannot spend. give it to an accountant or auditor who needs to check your records without any control over your funds. find it under keys.

it moves value in from almost any chain, or out to any chain, through a network of intents solvers. you ask for a result; solvers compete to deliver it. start in swap, choose the two sides, and review the quote before you confirm.

swap gives you a one-time deposit address on the source chain. send the funds there. you also give a refund address on that same chain, so if a swap cannot complete, the funds go back to you and not to nowhere.

the fee is 0.6%: 0.4% for hushswap and 0.2% for the solvers. it is shown before you confirm. solvers also add their own spread, which is built into the rate you see in the quote. the minimum is $3.

yield on shielded balances. you deposit from your private balance into a vault and the position stays private. rates and returns can change, and the figures in this build are examples, not promises. see the list in earn.

no. yield comes from somewhere, and a vault can lose value. read the vault details before you deposit, and only put in what you can afford to have tied up.

no. a bridge moves any token between any two chains, in and out of elysium, and it is public on both sides. from a wallet it is an ordinary public bridge, tied to that wallet. from your private balance, it is not tied to you: public means the two sides can be matched by amount and timing, not that it's tied to who you are. sending to your connected wallet, or to an address you've used before, makes that match easy, so hushswap refuses the first and warns on the second. for no match at all, use a private withdraw in swap.

when cost matters more than cover: a bridge costs less than a private withdraw, and you see one total (our fee, the relayer, the bridge and any gas you add) before you confirm. if it fails, it comes back to your private balance. open bridge to see the quote.

never. funds sit in contracts and keys you control. our services only index the chain and relay transactions; they cannot move your money.

• the elysium chain, always.
• the intents solvers, if you move value across chains with swap.
• the bridge, if you use bridge.

yes. a private RPC keeps your reads off public servers, which otherwise see your IP address and which addresses you ask about. set it in settings. it is stored in this browser only.
