## What is HUSH?

![Logo](doc/hush/hush.png "Logo")

HUSH (formerly Zdash) is a code fork of [ZCash](https://z.cash/) which has it's
own genesis block.  Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher
standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that
preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.

This software is the HUSH node and command-line client. It downloads and stores
the entire history of HUSH transactions; depending on the speed of your
computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day
or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

**HUSH is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk!
