5-minute quickstart

Build a private governance flow

Issue a disposable identity that inherits your reputation, cast a vote, and burn it — leaving no link back to your wallet.

Steps

01Install & init 02Connect the Vault 03Issue identity 04Vote privately 05Burn it

Prerequisites

Node 18+ · a Hush Wallet · an API key

Install & initialize

Add the SDK and create a client with your API key.

setup.ts

// npm install @veilid/sdk
import { VeilID } from '@veilid/sdk'
const veil = new VeilID({ apiKey: 'pk_live_…' })

Connect the Vault

Link your Hush Wallet. The Vault derives identities without ever exposing the root key.

vault.ts

const vault = await veil.vault.connect({ wallet: 'hush' })

Issue a disposable identity

Create an identity scoped to governance that inherits your composite reputation.

issue.ts

const id = await veil.identities.create({
  purpose: 'governance', ttl: '24h', reputation: 'inherit'
}) // → veil:9fK…2aQ

Vote privately

Cast a governance vote through the identity. The DAO sees standing, never your wallet.

vote.ts

await dao.vote({ as: id.handle, proposal: 'VIP-42', choice: 'for' })

Burn it

Done. Burn the identity and the trail ends — or let the TTL expire and the Vault does it for you.

burn.ts

await veil.identities.burn(id.id) // unlinkable, forever
