🕵️ Polygon Wallet Adds Shielded USDC and USDT Payments
Polygon Labs has launched shielded stablecoin payments in its wallet, supporting USDC and USDT. Users can now choose a "Privately Send" option, which routes transfers through Hinkal’s shielded pool instead of a standard on-chain transfer.
The feature uses zero-knowledge proofs to hide the sender, receiver, and amount from on-chain observers. Each private transaction will undergo KYT screening before execution, and the protocol is non-custodial. #stablecoin
