Why do I need a Privacy Wallet?
- Prevent Scams: Public wallet addresses can be analyzed by hackers for phishing attacks or blackmail.
- Avoid Transfer Mistakes: Blockchain addresses are hard to memorize and vulnerable to phishing attacks that exploit similar-looking addresses.
- Protect Asset Privacy: No one can see your balance or transaction details through blockchain explorers like Etherscan.
- Avoid Malicious Authorizations: Prevent unauthorized asset transfers by malicious dApps.
How do I use Privacy Wallet together with Common Wallet?
The Privacy Wallet is primarily for secure asset storage, while the Common Wallet is used for participating in DeFi projects and other blockchain applications. You can easily transfer assets between wallets. After interacting with DeFi or Web3 applications using your Common Wallet, promptly transfer funds back to your Privacy Wallet to minimize risks from malicious authorizations.
Why can’t my Privacy Wallet balances be traced using on-chain addresses?
When crypto assets are deposited into your Mixin Wallet, only you can see asset types and exact balances. Because the wallet’s deposit and withdrawal addresses are different, third parties cannot deduce your actual asset types or balances from blockchain explorers using these addresses.
