Passkey Wallet Explained

The Fourth Generation of Wallets

Passkey wallets represent a fundamental reimagining of crypto security, leveraging the same technology that Apple, Google, and Microsoft use to secure billions of devices.

How Passkeys Work:

  1. Key Generation: A cryptographic key pair is generated inside your device's secure enclave—the same tamper-proof chip that protects Apple Pay and Google Pay

  2. Biometric Binding: This key can only be accessed when you authenticate with your fingerprint, face, or device PIN

  3. Domain Locking: Each passkey is cryptographically bound to zcloak.money—even perfect phishing sites cannot activate it

  4. Zero Export: The private key cannot be extracted, viewed, or transferred—not even by you

Traditional Wallet vs Passkey Wallet

The Technical Architecture

zCloak.Money combines passkeys with a fully on-chain architecture:

  • Authentication Layer: Passkeys in device secure enclave

  • Application Layer: Entire wallet interface on blockchain (not traditional servers)

  • Execution Layer: Direct smart contract interaction

  • No Middle Layer: No APIs, no servers, no infrastructure to attack

This isn't incremental improvement—it's architectural immunity.
