Hush is a private cryptocurrency and a messaging platform. Hush is a decentralized peer-to-peer network that aims to benefit users by offering secured and advanced encryption. People from around the globe can message and transact anonymously. They can also review, comment, and propose updates.

Moreover, the platform is an implementation of the Zcash protocol with custom features. Zcash is a cryptocurrency in a blockchain network that seeks to provide anonymity to its users. Hush aims to offer a high standard of privacy, securing the confidentiality of the transactions. Moreover, Hushchat aims to leverage zkSNARKS - a private communication technology for personal messaging. 

In addition, Hush empowers miners as well as developers. The platform uses Equihash coins for mining. Equihash is a proof-of-work algorithm that requires a memory-hard function. Besides, miners can use ASICs to mine ZEC, ZEN, and KMD tokens. Moreover, Hush is an open-source project that invites developers from around the globe to join the community. Also, the development team of Hush aims to regularly launch advanced technology to expand the audience of the company. 

Apart from the features mentioned above, Hush seeks to offer three different wallets: full node wallet, light wallet, and Android wallet. A node is a part of the blockchain infrastructure that maintains the ledger of public transactions. Silent Dragon (SD) is a compatible wallet and a full node that runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS for HUSH. HUSH is the cryptocurrency of the Hush platform. SD is a one-stop solution that seeks to offer high-speed messaging and transactions. Besides, Silent Dragon is also an asset platform for the blockchain network.

Moreover, SilentDragonLite (SDL) is a light wallet for HUSH that runs on Linux and Windows. And to access the wallet, users do not need to download the entire blockchain. SDL is an experimental software product of Hush under active development. SilentDragonAndroid is an Android-based software for the desktop version of SilentDragon or SilentDragonLite. The software aims to allow users to send and receive secured payments from their mobile phones. Moreover, Hush plans to implement a Lite wallet and HushChat on Android. 

HushChat is a program that allows users to communicate via the Hush cryptocurrency. The program aims to enable users to send messages to around 100 people simultaneously and to allow for encrypted messaging in a mailing-list style. Moreover, Hushchat allows transactions using the Zcash protocol. This seeks to include secured addresses in addition to regular transparent Bitcoin addresses, thus aiming to allow transactions without disclosing the receiver or sender's message or any financial transaction amount. 

In April 2019, the Pure Sapling Hush Chain was launched, and the whitepaper was published. In the core team of Hush, Alice and Bob are the core developers, and Askari manages quality assurance.
