Menese Protocol has announced a new integration that connects CloakCoin web wallets with infrastructure built on the Internet Computer, marking a technical crossover between a long-standing privacy-focused cryptocurrency and newer decentralised web tooling.
In a post shared on X, the Menese team said the work followed extensive research into modified versions of early Bitcoin code, alongside the use of specialised VPS hardware. The result is a web wallet environment for CloakCoin that runs through ICP-based on-chain front ends, enabling users to interact with the network without relying on traditional local setups.
CloakCoin, which has been part of the privacy coin conversation for years, is known for its Enigma feature, designed to enhance transaction privacy. According to Menese, the new setup allows users to access Enigma through remote nodes, rather than operating their own infrastructure locally. This approach aims to lower the technical barrier while preserving the privacy features that CloakCoin users expect.
The protocol highlighted that securing remote node access through ICP infrastructure combines two ideas that are often in tension: mobility and privacy. By hosting front ends on-chain, users can access wallets and privacy features from a browser, while the underlying node interactions remain protected. Supporters see this as a practical use case for decentralised web infrastructure, especially for projects that predate the current wave of smart contract platforms.
Menese also acknowledged the role of its community in pushing the integration forward, singling out contributor @_BoroG for providing technical insight and support during development. Community-driven collaboration has long been a feature of smaller blockchain ecosystems, and this announcement reinforces that pattern.
From a broader perspective, the move reflects a growing interest in connecting older blockchain projects with newer infrastructure layers rather than rebuilding from scratch. Privacy coins, in particular, face ongoing challenges around usability, regulation, and infrastructure maintenance. Web-based access secured through decentralised hosting could address some of those pressures, though it also raises questions around performance, resilience, and long-term support.
As with many early-stage integrations, practical adoption will depend on how smoothly the system performs outside controlled environments and how comfortable users feel trusting remote node access, even when privacy safeguards are in place. Menese has framed the launch as a milestone rather than an endpoint, suggesting further refinement and testing will follow.
For now, the announcement positions Menese Protocol at the intersection of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and decentralised web infrastructure, offering a glimpse of how legacy blockchain projects might find new pathways without abandoning their original design goals.
