Is Cove completely private?
Is Cove completely private?
Yes. Your sender wallet address and the recipient’s wallet address are never linked on-chain. When you deposit, your funds enter the Cloak shielded pool and a cryptographic commitment is posted — not a wallet address. When the recipient claims, a zero-knowledge proof verifies ownership without revealing the spending key or connecting the withdrawal to your deposit. No on-chain observer can trace the relationship between the two transactions.
Do I need SOL to claim a payment?
Do I need SOL to claim a payment?
No. The Cloak relay submits the claim transaction and covers the network fee on your behalf. You only need a Solana wallet to receive the funds. You do not need any existing SOL balance to claim.
What tokens does Cove support?
What tokens does Cove support?
Cove supports three tokens:
- SOL — minimum 0.02 SOL per deposit
- USDC — minimum 1.00 USDC per deposit
- USDT — minimum 1.00 USDT per deposit
What wallets can I use?
What wallets can I use?
You can use any wallet supported by the Solana wallet adapter. This includes Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack, among others. The recipient can claim to any of these wallets regardless of which wallet the sender used to deposit.
What if I lose the claim link?
What if I lose the claim link?
If you still have access to the same browser where you made the deposit and the browser data has not been cleared, open the Dashboard and re-copy the claim link from there. Cove saves your deposit data to local storage before any network call, so the link is recoverable as long as that data is intact.If your browser data was cleared or you are on a different device, the blinding factor required to spend the UTXO is no longer available. In that case, the link cannot be recovered and the funds in the UTXO cannot be claimed.
Can a claim link be used twice?
Can a claim link be used twice?
No. Claim links are single-use. When the recipient claims a payment, a nullifier is posted on-chain that permanently marks the underlying UTXO as spent. Any subsequent attempt to use the same link will fail. There is no way to reuse or re-generate a spent link.
Is there a fee to send?
Is there a fee to send?
You pay a small Solana network fee of approximately 0.002 SOL when you submit the deposit transaction. The recipient pays nothing to claim — the Cloak relay covers the claim transaction fee entirely.
What if my browser crashes during a deposit?
What if my browser crashes during a deposit?
Cove saves your UTXO data — including the blinding factor needed to spend it — to local storage before making any network call. If your deposit confirmed on-chain and then your browser crashed or the page closed, open the Dashboard when you return. Your deposit will be listed there and you can re-copy the claim link without any additional steps.
