So what are stealth addresses

Stealth addresses allow users to have a peace of mind that their transactions cannot be traced back to them. Stealth address requires the sender to create a random one time address for the recipient and this is all done by the wallet so the sender doesn't have to worry about doing complicated transactions. The recipient only has to publish one public address which is what the sender will enter when sending money, but in the background, a random address will be created for the user and the payment will appear to everyone as if it was sent to that random address which cannot be traced to the recipient.

The only people that will ever know where the payment went, will be the sender and the recipient. No one will ever be able to know about the payments you receive from other people. This offers security, trust, and privacy for DeepOnion users.

The wallet also comes with Deep Vault. Deep Vault allows users to store hashes of files on the blockchain permanently and this means they can be able to verify the integrity of their files over time. If a user stores the hash of a file in the Deep Vault, they can be able to check at a later stage if the file has not been altered or not.

The other goodies that the wallet comes with are the usual TOR network integration, OBFS4, and Meek for China residents and residents of other countries where TOR is blocked. Anyone and everyone in the world can be able to use the DeepOnion wallet and send transactions anonymously.
