Six layers · top to bottom
From your face to the chain, in detail.
Identity
Turnkey passkey enclave
Sign-in = device Passkey + device biometric. Key material exists only inside the Turnkey-managed TEE — not on Lynk servers, not in browser storage.
Account
Safe smart account · Polygon
Each user gets a Safe modular smart account. Audited 6+ times, used in production by many treasuries. Survives Lynk: importable into Safe{Wallet}, Rabby, or any Safe-compatible client.
Policy
Lynk policy contract
Daily caps, step-up auth thresholds, and approval ceilings live as a Safe module on-chain. You configure them. Not changeable while a transaction is pending.
Defense
4-layer phishing screen
Off-chain pre-broadcast pipeline. Transaction simulation → recipient verification → daily-limit / step-up auth check → unified anomaly alerts. Sub-200 ms median latency.
Sponsorship
ERC-4337 paymaster
v1 sponsors gas. The paymaster contract receives funds from a treasury contract on a fixed schedule — independent of Lynk's company state.
Recovery
Multi-device + social recovery
At least one backup device recommended. With social recovery registered, a majority can authorize a new device. The only failure mode is losing every device and every social recovery contact at once — stated explicitly.
Public materials
Read first, then verify.
Threat model
Adversaries we design against: phishing dApps, drainer contracts, malicious approvals, compromised devices, social engineering, post-key-leak revocation. Each gets a layer.

Why Polygon (not mainnet) · Why Safe (not custom account) · Why Passkey (not seeds) · Why selective open-source. Each decision documented with the alternatives we rejected.
Published at beta launchPublic reference impl.
A minimal public TypeScript client showing Lynk talking to Turnkey, Safe, and the policy contract. Enough to verify the on-chain flow without seeing the defense pipeline source.

One biometric. One wallet.
No exchange KYC. No 12-word backup. See you May 30, 2026.
