How to Use SynX Privacy Features: Confidential Transactions

Privacy is built into the SynX quantum-resistant wallet. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum where transactions are public, SynX automatically protects transaction details.

Privacy Features Overview

Confidential Transactions

Transaction amounts are encrypted by default:

• Only sender and recipient see the amount
• Network verifies transaction validity without seeing value
• Cryptographic proofs ensure no inflation possible
• No action required—happens automatically

Stealth Addresses

Each transaction creates a unique receiving address:

• Share your main address publicly without privacy loss
• Senders generate one-time addresses automatically
• Observers cannot link transactions to your public address
• Your SynX quantum-resistant wallet scans for incoming payments

Using Privacy Features

Sending Privately:

1. Open wallet and navigate to Send
2. Enter recipient address and amount
3. Confirm and send—privacy applied automatically

Receiving Privately:

1. Share your public address with sender
2. Sender's wallet handles stealth address generation
3. Your wallet detects and receives the payment

Auditability Options

For accounting or compliance needs:

• Generate view keys for third-party auditing
• Share transaction proofs for specific payments
• Export transaction history for personal records

Privacy vs. Transparency

The SynX quantum-resistant wallet provides privacy by default while enabling optional transparency:

• Personal transactions remain private
• Business can provide auditor access via view keys
• Payment receipts prove specific transactions
