Polygon has unveiled new privacy features.
Polygon has officially introduced private stablecoin transfers for USDC and USDT transactions within its Polygon Wallet product. This is enabled via Hinkal, a privacy protocol using ZK (Zero Knowledge) proofs to confirm senders and receivers onchain without revealing key information.
Right now, this is available inside of the Polygon wallet, but it is expected to be scaled throughout their payment solutions and core infrastructure for global institutions.
