Hidden Wallet Feature #
The Hidden Wallet is designed for advanced users who require plausible deniability and an additional layer of operational security. This feature ensures that in the event of coercion, inspection, or physical threat, you can reveal a decoy wallet while your true holdings remain invisible.
1. Creating a Hidden Wallet #
- You must define a Hidden Password that is different from your Master Password.
- Once created, this password unlocks a completely separate set of wallets that coexist within XColdPro but remain cryptographically undetectable without the correct credentials.
- Hidden Wallets are fully functional, allowing you to store assets, sign transactions, and operate as if it were your only wallet.
2. Usage & Access #
- Normal Password → Unlocks your standard wallet set.
- Hidden Password → Unlocks the concealed wallet set.
- 🚫 No forensic trace exists to indicate the presence of hidden wallets. To any observer, the system appears to contain only what is revealed under the entered password.
3. Security Benefits #
- Plausible Deniability: Under duress, you may disclose your Hidden Password to expose a decoy wallet containing minimal funds.
- Operational Secrecy: Even advanced forensic inspection of your USB device cannot confirm the presence of hidden wallets.
- Independent Operation: Hidden wallets support the same features as standard wallets, including Multi-Chain Support, offline signing, and custom token addition.
4. Critical Considerations ⚠️ #
- Hidden Passwords are unrecoverable — losing this password results in permanent loss of access to the concealed wallet set.
- Treat Hidden Wallets as separate storage environments; each requires its own Recovery Phrase backup.
- Use Hidden Wallets strategically — they are intended for sensitive holdings where disclosure could pose a risk to your security or privacy.
