Hush $HUSH

Hush is a state-of-the-art privacy coin that leverages the power of zkSNARK, an upstream Zcash 1.0.13 build for advanced security. It goes beyond secure transactions to protect user metadata at a protocol level. Built with innovative features such as TOR nodes, TLS (secure nodes), and bitcore, Hush is a pioneer in blockchain privacy. Its launch on November 21, 2016, marked the entry of a robust token and secure messaging platform derived from the Zcash 1.0.9 codebase.

Hush: More Than Just a Cryptocurrency

As a unique blockchain network, Hush offers the dual benefits of being a store of value and a medium of exchange. Its core offering stretches beyond token transactions. Integral to Hush is a secure messaging platform that uses the same mechanisms as transaction processing. The platform provides a robust and secure environment for sending and receiving messages, effectively combining financial transactions with communication.

HushList: A Unique Secure Protocol and Messenger

One of the key features of Hush is HushList, a secure protocol and private messenger built into the system. HushList allows for the creation of an unlimited number of anonymous receiver contacts. To ensure maximum privacy, these contacts are stored locally on the user's computer. The messages, also known as HushList memos, are stored in the blockchain and are encrypted so that only the receiver's private key can decrypt them.

Shielded or Transparent Transactions

Incorporating the ZCash protocol, Hush provides the flexibility of choosing between shielded or transparent transactions. What sets Hush apart is its ability to hide all transaction metadata and seamlessly interoperate with forks. With the option to append text and binary documents to messages, Hush transforms the transactions into a censorship-resistant storage unit of information.
