Introduction
Sanke Wallet is a privacy-first browser extension built on Kohaku, the privacy and security framework founded by Vitalik Buterin, Nicolas Liochon, and contributors from the Ethereum Foundation. Our goal is simple: bring trustless, private, locally-verified wallet flows to everyday users — without relying on centralized RPCs or data-leaking intermediaries.
Today, most wallets expose far more than users realize: your identity, on-chain patterns, app connections, IP metadata, and even how you move funds. Privacy is not lost in one action — it leaks piece by piece, until anyone can reconstruct a full profile of who you are.
Sanke was built to reverse this trend.
Why Sanke Exists
Ethereum gives users sovereignty over their assets — but wallets determine whether users keep sovereignty over their identity.
Modern wallets rely heavily on hosted RPCs, centralized indexers, fingerprintable app connections, and shared public addresses. These conveniences become points of control, surveillance, and fragility.
If the access layer isn’t private and trustless, the entire user experience becomes permissioned by default.
Sanke integrates Kohaku’s primitives to ensure that the wallet — the most critical access layer — is aligned with Ethereum’s values: trustlessness, privacy, verifiability, and user autonomy.
What Sanke Enables
With Sanke Wallet, users gain:
Local verification of chain data via light clients (no blind trust in RPCs)
Private deposits & private transfers through privacy systems (e.g., Privacy Pools)
Per-app identities to prevent cross-app tracking
P2P wallet-app communication, avoiding public gateway servers
Zero-knowledge-based recovery instead of seed phrases
Spending guardrails & policy controls to prevent drainers
A privacy-preserving UX that still feels familiar
These primitives make Sanke one of the first wallets designed not only to store keys, but to actively protect the metadata that surrounds every on-chain action.
