Polygon Developers Introduce Method for Clients to Conceal Transactions Involving Stablecoins, 2026/05/06 08:42:54
The developers of the Polygon blockchain have introduced a solution for corporate clients aimed at making transactions with stablecoins invisible to external observers.
Polygon has confirmed that this capability is made possible through integration with Hinkal, a privacy protocol featuring a secure pool that provides cryptographic protection for each transaction. Hinkal routes transactions through a secure pool and employs zero-knowledge proofs for verification, ensuring that details about the sender, receiver, and transaction amount remain undisclosed. Network participants can see that a transfer has indeed occurred on the blockchain, but the confidential information surrounding it is not revealed.

Each concealed transaction undergoes a “Know Your Transaction” (KYT) check before execution, with funds being transferred directly between wallets via the protocol, the developers stated. Polygon clarified that the protocol is not a custodial service, as it does not handle the storage of funds. During transactions, servers or operators do not store or control these assets, the developers assured.
Banks and payment systems are already managing secure transaction data in a conventional manner, without utilizing blockchain technology. Major companies are hesitant to conduct operations in an open ledger, where any network user can access information about each counterparty and transaction amount. However, developers from Polygon assert that banks process transactions slowly, charge high fees, and have limited operational hours. The added confidentiality is expected to increase interest among large companies in transactions using USDC and USDT stablecoins, the blockchain team hopes.
Previously, Aishwary Gupta, head of payments and tokenized assets at Polygon, suggested that within the next five years, at least 100,000 new stablecoins will emerge in the market, as many banks and fintech firms are eager to launch their own stablecoins. Last year, the Polygon team announced the activation of the Madhugiri upgrade, designed to enhance block processing speed and improve overall network performance.
