Why Hush HushChat HushPool HushBox
Explorer Gitea F.A.Q Team
Why this website?You're right, most of the content lands on our official self-hosted Gitea website first, but it is nice to have a minimalistic and non-bloated js-free website to read some content as well.
What is Hush?Hush is Free Software. That is the core mission of the software and global community of cypherpunks that make the Hush software and peer-to-peer network possible. Hush is not a company nor foundation. We are not based in any country. We are a decentralized cypherpunk community and continue to research the bleeding edge in privacy.
Where can I get Hush?The only official place to get Hush source code and binaries is git.hush.is, which keeps it away from Github/Microsoft.
What is Hush Privacy Policy?Our policy is to store as little metadata as possible. We only ask for as little possible information to debug support requests, such as OS versions, wallet versions and other technical information. Hush does not mine your personal privacy to sell to advertisers, you keep your privacy and your dignity.

This website is purely for marketing and education purposes and our P2P network does not rely on it, not does our P2P network rely on DNS, which we believe is completely untrustable, just as Bitcoin developers rightly believe.

When using some Hush software, there are mandatory or optional features that require talking to third party websites and APIs. We cannot control how they use metadata, such as IP address, MAC address and other browser details.

Hush uses cloudflare.com for Denial-of-Service protection and SSL (only for websites, not p2p network), coingecko.com for price feeds that can be turned off. We highly recommend using Tor/i2p or the TAILS/Whonix/Qubes with Hush.
