# Private Send

> Send crypto to any wallet privately. The recipient never sees your wallet, and the two wallets are never linked on-chain.

## **What it is**

Send lets you transfer crypto to another wallet without linking the two wallets on-chain.

You choose the token, the amount, and the receiving address. The recipient gets the same token on the same chain, and the recipient never sees your wallet.

> **Good for:** Paying someone, moving funds to a new wallet, or topping up another account without leaving a direct trail between the two.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **What this means in practice**
>
> * The recipient receives the same token you send, on the same chain
> * There is no direct on-chain transaction between your wallet and the receiving wallet
> * Your wallet history and balance stay hidden from the recipient

## **How to send**

**1. Open the Send tab**

In the app, select **Send** next to Swap, Split and Request.

**2. Choose the token and amount**

Pick the token and network you want to send, then enter the **Send Amount**.

**3. Enter the receiving wallet**

Paste the **Receiving Wallet Address** of the person or wallet you are sending to.

**4. Fund the send**

Select **Connect Wallet** to fund it in a few clicks. If you prefer not to connect, select **Continue without wallet** and send the funds manually to a one-time deposit address from any wallet or exchange.

**5. Funds arrive**

Houdini routes the funds privately in the background and delivers the same token to the receiving wallet.

## **Why it's private**

Send uses the same private routing as [Private Swaps](https://docs.houdiniswap.com/overview/swaps-and-transfers/private-swaps.md).

Your funds never go directly from your wallet to the recipient. Houdini routes them through two independent exchange partners with an intermediary asset in between, so there is no on-chain link between sender and receiver. The privacy is the same whether you connect your wallet or send manually.

You can fine-tune routing in settings (the gear icon), including the **Use Monero** option for Private routing.

The same privacy, compliance rules, and token coverage that apply to Private Swaps apply here. See [Privacy and Compliance](https://docs.houdiniswap.com/overview/getting-started/privacy-and-compliance.md) and [Chain and Token Coverage](https://docs.houdiniswap.com/overview/coverage-and-economy/chain-tokens-partners.md).

## **Send, Split or Request?**

* **Send:** one payment to one wallet, same token in and out.
* **Split:** one amount to up to 50 wallets at once, optionally swapped into another token. See [Split](https://docs.houdiniswap.com/overview/products-and-features/multi-swap.md).
* **Request:** you want to get paid and share a link instead of an address. See [Request](https://docs.houdiniswap.com/overview/products-and-features/houdinipay.md).

## **When to use Send**

* **Paying people** without exposing your wallet history or balance
* **Moving funds to a fresh wallet** without linking the old and new ones
* **Funding another account** of your own without an on-chain connection
* **Sensitive transfers** where sender and receiver shouldn't be connected on-chain
