The tool lets people receive crypto in the asset they choose, even if the sender pays in something different.
The tool lets people receive crypto in the asset they choose, even if the sender pays in something different. Houdini Pay handles the conversion and hides the direct link between both wallets.
Users can create a payment link and share it with clients. The link supports more than 4,000 digital assets across many blockchains. When a client pays, the system converts the asset to the receiver’s choice and breaks the onchain trail between sender and receiver.
The sender covers the fees, and the freelancer gets the full amount requested. The links never expire, but the amount cannot be changed once the link is created.
The system offers privacy from the other party, but it is not a full privacy shield. Houdini Pay and its partners keep metadata, including wallet details, transaction size, and IP addresses. The service also follows AML rules and can request more information if a payment is flagged.
Houdini Swap says this setup is not a mixer. The company stressed that it does not hold or control user funds. Instead, it routes payments in a way that makes it harder for clients or suppliers to track each other’s wallets.
Houdini argues that public wallet activity can create real problems. Clients can monitor a freelancer’s balance and use it to negotiate lower rates. Competitors can study a business’s payments to track suppliers. And open wallet details can raise safety risks, especially as physical attacks on known crypto holders become more common.
Other privacy tools exist, such as zkBob, which uses zero-knowledge proofs for stronger protection. But they support fewer assets and involve more complex setups.
Houdini Pay gives freelancers a simple way to protect basic wallet privacy while staying compliant. As more people earn in crypto, tools like this could help make payments safer and more flexible.
