What is Hush (HUSH)?

Source description

“Hush is the first cryptocurrency offering zkSNARK (upstream Zcash 1.0.13 build), TLS (secure nodes), TOR nodes and bitcore making it the most secure and advanced privacy coin ever created! Hush aims to provide protection by anonymizing this metadata at a protocol level ultimately protecting even the most novice user with this built-in privacy backbone. Launched on November 21, 2016, Hush is a token, secure messaging platform, and fork of the Zcash 1.0.9 codebase. As its own unique blockchain network, HUSH acts as not only a store of value but a medium of exchange for using the secure messaging platform. This “messaging” function is also the mechanism for sending and receiving transactions. Built within Hush is HushList, a customized secure protocol and private messenger which allows you a contact list of infinite receivers. HushList receivers must always be zaddrs (therefore anonymous). The user can opt to send from a taddr pseudonymous address. Your Hush contacts are stored locally on your computer, and messages, aka HushList memos, are stored in the blockchain, encrypted so that only the receiver’s private key can decrypt it. With HushList, financial transactions are messages under a pseudonym “user” name or undisclosed anonymous participant. Text and binary documents can be appended to these messages which facilitates a censorship-resistant storage unit of information. Using the ZCash protocol, transactions can be shielded or made transparent. The key differentiators are how Hush hides all the metadata and interoperates with forks.”

Hush (HUSH) FAQ

How does HushList combine private messaging with cryptocurrency transactions?

The project describes HushList as a customized secure protocol and private messenger built into Hush. It treats financial transactions as messages, allowing users to send and receive value through the same messaging function. HushList recipients must use anonymous z-addresses, while senders may use pseudonymous t-addresses, creating a messaging and transaction process centered on privacy.

What privacy features does Hush claim to provide at the protocol level?

Hush states that it combines zkSNARKs, secure nodes using TLS, and TOR nodes to protect user metadata. Its stated aim is to anonymize metadata within the protocol rather than relying solely on user expertise or optional tools. The project presents this built-in privacy layer as a way to provide protection for both experienced and novice users.

How are HushList messages and attachments stored?

According to the project, HushList memos are stored on the blockchain in encrypted form, with only the intended receiver’s private key able to decrypt them. Users’ contact lists are kept locally on their computers. The project also says that text and binary documents can be attached to messages, supporting a censorship-resistant information-storage function.

Why are z-addresses required for HushList recipients?

Hush states that every HushList recipient must use a z-address, which it describes as anonymous. Senders can alternatively send from a t-address, characterized by the project as pseudonymous. This address distinction is part of HushList’s stated design: recipients remain shielded while senders have the option of using a less private address type.

How does Hush describe its relationship to the Zcash codebase and shielded transactions?

The project describes Hush as a fork of the Zcash 1.0.9 codebase and references an upstream Zcash 1.0.13 build for zkSNARK functionality. It states that transactions can be either shielded or transparent under the Zcash protocol. Hush presents its own metadata-hiding approach and interoperability with forks as key differentiators.

Hush metric comparison

This comparison is a stored snapshot generated 2026-10-23 06:31 UTC from 240 daily observations available from 2025-12-30 through 2026-10-23. It is separate from the latest analytical cards above. Percentiles compare the snapshot value with that day's analytical universe; a higher percentile means a larger observed value, not necessarily a better investment characteristic.

Rank change (nearest points).

Reading rule: lower is better in this ranking.

  • 7d window: no reference point available.
  • 30d window: no reference point available.

YearBull Rank is a relative ranking on YearBull designed to compare coins on a common scale and time window. Smaller numbers mean the coin sits higher in the YearBull list. It is meant for comparison and tracking, not certainty.

Execution context: If rank holds gains, the footprint is likely supporting the move.

Risk placement: If the last month is chaotic, widen the lookback before concluding.

Cycle view: If the line is range-bound, treat changes as relative, not absolute.

Liquidity framing: If the curve jumps, check whether the cohort moved too (relative effects).

Practical note: stability often signals more than spikes.
