Understand linkability first
Wallet linking means associating two addresses or activities using public-chain data, provider observations, address reuse, timing, amounts, later consolidation, or information the user shares. Evidence strength varies.
How to Reduce Wallet Linking
Practical, non-guaranteed ways to reduce unnecessary wallet association signals before and after a supported crypto route.
What you need to know
Use exact compatible addresses
Choose a receiving address that is valid for the destination network and wallet. A different address may reduce simple reuse, but it does not remove other signals and should never override address-safety checks.
Avoid unnecessary public sharing
Do not publish receipts, order IDs, screenshots, transaction annotations, or wallet inventories unless needed. Public transaction hashes are useful for support, but they can connect context when posted broadly.
Consider later wallet activity
Immediate consolidation, repeated transfers between the same addresses, recognizable exchange deposits, or moving the complete output together can add association signals after the original route completes.
Check live Private Route availability
Where offered, privacy-focused routing may reduce an obvious direct source-to-destination association. Use only exact routes backed by verified support and confirm current status in the live flow.
Do not trade safety for privacy
Never use an incompatible address, unsupported asset, stale deposit instruction, or unknown provider to chase privacy. Verify networks, token contracts, fees, output, and destination details first.

How to Reduce Wallet Linking FAQs
Does a new address guarantee unlinkability?
No. Timing, amounts, later activity, providers, and other context can still add association signals.
Should I hide transaction hashes from support?
No. Public hashes and order IDs can be necessary for route support. Share them through the official support process, but never share seed phrases or private keys.
Is address reuse always unsafe?
Address behavior depends on the network and wallet. Reuse can make some associations easier, but a compatible, verified destination is always required.
