Privacy Features

ALIAS offers optional privacy features that make your card creation completely anonymous using zero-knowledge proofs. This guide shows you how to enable and use privacy mode.

Advanced Feature

Privacy mode requires saving secret recovery notes that cannot be recovered if lost. Only use if you understand the requirements.

Overview

Privacy mode breaks the link between your payment and your card creation, making your card completely untraceable on the blockchain.

Standard Mode: Wallet A → Payment → Card linked to Wallet A

Privacy Mode: Wallet A → Deposit to Pool → Mixing → Anonymous Withdrawal → Card (no link to Wallet A)

How to Use Privacy Mode

Step 1: Enable "Private Payment" toggle before creating card

Step 2: Choose fixed amount only ($25, $50, $100, $200, $500)

Step 3: Complete deposit to privacy pool

Step 4: SAVE YOUR SECRET NOTE (critical!)

Step 5: Wait for more deposits (optional, for better privacy)

Step 6: Withdraw anonymously and receive card

See Privacy Protocol for detailed instructions.

Save Your Note

Your secret recovery note is the ONLY way to access your deposited funds. It's not stored anywhere. If lost, funds are permanently unrecoverable.

Next Steps

Start Simple

New users should create their first card using standard mode. Try privacy mode once you're comfortable with the platform.
