Browser Extension
The Cloaked browser extension lets you use a Cloaked address with Ethereum apps that support browser wallets. It also keeps the Cloaked wallet available from your browser without requiring a separate app tab.
Why Cloaked is different
A conventional browser wallet often reuses one long-lived address across many apps. Each connection can reveal the balance, history, and other activity already associated with that address. Creating more wallet accounts can reduce that exposure, but it also leaves you managing more addresses and moving funds between them yourself.
Cloaked treats an app connection as a privacy decision: which part of your onchain life should this app be allowed to see?
When you connect, you can choose a fresh self-custodial address or deliberately reuse an existing one. Cloaked can fund a fresh address from your Cloaked balances and keep your addresses together in one wallet view. The app receives the address you selected, not every address managed by your Cloaked account.
How the fresh address is funded matters. Moving funds from a visible address can create a public link between the two addresses. Funding it from a private balance uses a Privacy Pools withdrawal, which breaks the direct public onchain link between the earlier deposit and the fresh address. To public blockchain observers, the new address does not arrive with your old wallet history attached.
This provides meaningful public-facing onchain privacy, but it is not unconditional anonymity. The app still sees the connected address, other information such as an app login or browser session may identify you, and later onchain activity can create new links. Cloaked can also see activity it coordinates.
You remain in control throughout. Connecting does not give an app permission to spend, and every signature or transaction still requires a separate review and approval.
Cloaked is available for Google Chrome on desktop. Other browsers are not yet officially supported. On mobile, use the Cloaked web app.
Install
- Open Cloaked Wallet in the Chrome Web Store.
- Select Add to Chrome, then confirm Add extension.
- Open Chrome's Extensions menu (the puzzle piece) and pin Cloaked Wallet for easy access.
- Select the Cloaked icon to open your wallet.
Sign in or create an account
Use your existing Cloaked account, or choose Create account if you are new to Cloaked. If you are already signed in to the web app, the extension may offer that account. Check the account shown before choosing Continue.
Sign-in and account creation use the Cloaked Vault.
Use the same sign-in method and, for email accounts, the same email as on the web. Your balances and addresses are shared; you do not need a separate wallet for the extension.
Connect to an app
- Open an Ethereum app that supports browser wallets and choose Connect wallet.
- Select Cloaked from the wallet list. Some apps show installed wallets under a separate menu.
- In Cloaked, choose a fresh address or an existing address, and fund it if needed.
- Confirm the connection. The app can now see the address you selected.
When the app asks you to sign a message or send a transaction, review the request in Cloaked before approving it. Clear Signing helps explain supported requests; requests that cannot be verified are marked accordingly. You can reject any request.
Keep the wallet in Chrome's side panel while using an app, or open it from the toolbar.
If Cloaked does not appear
- Check that the extension is installed and enabled in Chrome's Extensions settings.
- Refresh the app's page after installing the extension, then open its wallet list again.
- Look for an installed-wallets or browser-wallets option. Some apps do not list every wallet.
- Use Chrome on desktop. The extension cannot be installed in Chrome on a phone or tablet.
