Polygon has introduced a privacy feature that hides transaction details for stablecoin transfers.

Wu Blockchain reported on May 5 that Polygon Labs added a “Privately Send” feature to its wallet and began supporting payments in USDC and Tether’s USDT.

The feature processes transactions through Hinkal’s shielded pool instead of standard on-chain transfers. That keeps key details such as the sender, recipient and transfer amount from being publicly disclosed.

The system uses zero-knowledge proofs to preserve transaction privacy while maintaining verifiability. Polygon said all private transactions undergo Know Your Transaction, or KYT, screening before execution, and the protocol operates on a non-custodial basis.
