Detect with View Key

Detect with View Key

The recipient (or their local scanner) continuously monitors new on-chain announcements. Using their View Key, the client attempts to decrypt each ciphertext.

If decryption succeeds, the client identifies:

• That the transaction belongs to this wallet.

• Which stealth address holds the funds.

• What token and amount were received.

The decryption process happens entirely client-side, ensuring that:

• No server or validator can scan for you.

• Your wallet address is never revealed.

• Scanning can even be delegated safely using the View Key only.

💡 Example detection logic:

if (decrypt(ciphertext, user.viewKey)) {
   inbox.add({ senderHint, asset, amount, stealthAddress });
}
