\normalsize \noindent \textbf{Abstract.}
\Hush originally was a source code fork of the \Zcash 1.0.8 codebase. Hush was
originally called "Zdash" and is not a chain fork, Hush mined it's own
unique genesis block.
...
originally called "Zdash" and mined a genesis block on Nov 17, 2016.
The latest version of \Hush migrates to a new codebase with a new genesis
block while keeping the emission schedule as close as possible to the original
intentions

HUSH will continue to have Delayed Proof-of-Work as protection against 51\%
attacks and double spend attack prevention. No other technology is proven
in production like DPoW.
The current implementation of DPoW in Hush v2 was tested in a test attack. A
large amount of hashrate was rented at NiceHash, and a 51\% attack was
attempted, which would re-organized a notarized block. The attack repeatedly
failed and wasted a large amount of BTC of the simulated attacker.
HUSHv3 will be migrating to the core DPoW implementation of Komodo itself,
instead of relying on the implementation that was ported from Komodo to the
Hush v2 codebase. This further increases HUSH development velocity and reduces
our maintenance burden to merge upstream code.
