Separation of Identity & Transaction

Papillae completely separates your public identity from your transaction activity through a dual-key system:

Master Wallet: Your regular BNB Chain wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.) acts as your master identity. This wallet is only used for:

• Initial account creation

• Authorizing deposits into the privacy pool

• Receiving final withdrawals back to public addresses

Stealth Address: A cryptographically derived address that holds and transacts your private funds. Key properties:

• Mathematically linked to your master wallet through deterministic derivation

• Impossible to link back to master wallet by external observers

• Can be regenerated from master wallet signature at any time

• Acts as your identity within the privacy pool

Spending Key: Controls fund movement from your stealth address. Required for:

• Creating private transfers

• Generating withdrawal transactions

• Signing proofs for fund spending

Viewing Key: Allows read-only access to encrypted transactions. Can:

• Decrypt incoming payment notifications

• Calculate private balances

• Monitor transaction history

• Be shared with auditors without giving spending ability

This separation means:

• Public on-chain analysis cannot connect your master wallet to stealth address activity

• Even if someone knows your master wallet, they cannot see your private transactions

• You can share viewing access without risking fund security

• Recovery is possible using only your master wallet
