private payouts,
in real zcash

A coin on hush is a normal Solana token with a bonding curve, launched in one transaction. Three things make it a hush coin, and all three are fixed the moment it is created:

1. 1It is quoted in ZEC. Buyers pay ZEC on Solana, sellers receive ZEC, and when the curve fills the coin graduates to an AMM pool paired with ZEC.
2. 2It carries a 1% holder fee. One percent of every buy and every sell, on the curve and after graduation, accrues to a vault that belongs to that coin alone.
3. 3Its fees become native Zcash. A keeper sends what the vault collects through NEAR Intents to the Zcash chain, splits it across holders in proportion to what they hold, and lets each holder withdraw to any Zcash address.

The result is a coin whose holders earn a real, liquid, private asset simply by holding. There is nothing to stake, nothing to lock and no claim token: hold the coin in any Solana wallet and your share is set aside at every distribution.

From a trade on Solana to ZEC in a holder's wallet, in six steps.

1. 01launchThe coin is created on a ZEC-quoted curve with a 1% holder fee and its own vault.
2. 02tradeEvery buy and sell pays 1% in ZEC into the vault.
3. 03collectThe keeper collects the vault once 0.002 ZEC has accrued.
4. 04sweepCollected ZEC is sent through a NEAR Intent and arrives as native ZEC in the coin's pool.
5. 05distributeAt 0.01 ZEC the pool is split across a snapshot of every holder.
6. 06claimHolders sign a message and name a Zcash address. An intent delivers it.

The launch form takes a name, ticker, image, an optional description and links, and an optional initial buy. Everything happens in one confirmation in your wallet.

1. 1The image and the metadata document are pinned to IPFS, so the coin's name, art and links live on content-addressed storage rather than a server.
2. 2The server derives a fresh vault keypair for this coin and builds the create instruction: quote asset ZEC, holder fee 1%, the vault as the coin's fee recipient, your wallet as fee payer. If you set an initial buy, it is added to the same transaction at the opening price.
3. 3The new mint signs its own creation server-side, your wallet signs as fee payer, and the server broadcasts and waits for confirmation. The coin is live the moment it confirms.

## Paying the initial buy in SOL

You can fund the initial buy with SOL instead of ZEC. The form quotes a SOL → ZEC swap through Jupiter and shows what your SOL becomes. When you launch, your wallet signs two transactions in one prompt: the swap, and the launch. The swap lands first; the launch then buys with the swap's guaranteed minimum output, so the buy can never ask for more ZEC than arrived. Anything the swap delivers above that minimum stays in your wallet.

## What is fixed at launch

Before graduation, every coin trades on its bonding curve: price rises as supply is bought and falls as it is sold, with ZEC as the reserve. When the curve fills, liquidity migrates to an AMM pool paired with ZEC and trading continues there. The 1% holder fee applies in both places.

Get ZEC on Solana by swapping SOL on any Solana aggregator, or bring native ZEC over from the Zcash chain on the bridge. Every coin page links straight to where it trades.

Every buy and every sell pays 1% of its size, in ZEC, into the coin's vault. This is the only fee hush adds, and all of it is routed to holders. The vault is a public account: anyone can read it on Solscan, and every coin page shows what is accruing, what is in transit and what is in the pool.

## Collecting

The keeper checks every coin on a loop. Once a vault holds at least 0.002 ZEC, from the curve and from the AMM after graduation, the keeper collects it. The keeper pays the network fees itself, and it credits only the amount the collect actually added, measured before and after, so a vault's accounting can never drift from what is on chain.

## Worked example

hush uses intents for both movements of value:

## How a sweep works

1. 1The keeper asks the 1Click API for a quote: exact input of the collected ZEC on Solana, native ZEC out, credited to the pool's account inside intents.near.
2. 2The quote returns a one-time deposit address on Solana. The keeper transfers exactly the quoted ZEC from the coin's vault to it and reports the deposit.
3. 3Solvers fill the intent, usually within seconds, and the native ZEC lands in the pool. The coin page shows the sweep as settled with the amount received.

## How a withdrawal works

1. 1When you claim, the server quotes a withdrawal: native ZEC from the pool to your address on the Zcash chain.
2. 2The pool's ZEC is moved to the quote's deposit account inside intents.near with a signed transfer intent.
3. 3Solvers deliver it on Zcash. Your claim flips to paid with a link to the Zcash transaction.

## Deadlines and refunds

Every intent is quoted with a 15 minute deadline and a refund path. A sweep that does not fill refunds the ZEC to the coin's vault, where it is swept again on the next pass. A withdrawal that does not fill returns your credit, which shows as refunded and can be claimed again.

The bridge uses the same NEAR Intents rail as payouts to move value between Solana and the Zcash chain. Turn SOL into native ZEC and send it straight to a shielded address, cash out ZEC on Solana to real Zcash, or bring Zcash over to Solana to trade hush coins. No account, no bridge custody, no wrapped token minted for you.

## Swapping from Solana

1. 1Pick a route, enter an amount and paste the Zcash address to receive at. The page shows a live quote from the solver network: what arrives, its dollar value, the guaranteed minimum and the expected time.
2. 2Press swap. The site fetches a firm quote with a one-time deposit address and builds a single transfer from your wallet to it. Your wallet signs once.
3. 3The transfer is broadcast and reported to NEAR Intents. Solvers fill the intent and deliver native ZEC on the Zcash chain, usually within a few minutes.
4. 4The page tracks the intent live: deposit, solvers filling, delivered, with links to the Solana deposit and the Zcash delivery transaction.

## Bringing ZEC to Solana

1. 1Choose ZEC → ZEC (Solana), enter the amount, where to receive on Solana (your connected wallet by default) and a Zcash address for refunds.
2. 2The page shows a one-time Zcash deposit address and the exact amount. Send it from any Zcash wallet before the deadline; both have copy buttons.
3. 3Once the Zcash transaction confirms, solvers deliver ZEC on Solana to your wallet. Use it to trade any hush coin.

## Refunds, deadlines and fees

Every bridge quote carries a 30 minute deadline and a refund address. If solvers cannot fill it in time, the funds go back where they came from: your Solana wallet, or the Zcash refund address you gave. The quote you see already includes the solvers' price and the 1Click service fee; the amount that arrives is shown on the page as soon as it settles.

When a coin's pool reaches 0.01 ZEC, the keeper opens a distribution round. It reads every holder of the coin at a single Solana slot, so the snapshot is one consistent moment rather than a moving average.

1. 1Every token account for the coin is read at one slot over Helius.
2. 2Accounts that hold supply but are not holders are excluded: the bonding curve, the AMM pool and the coin's own vault.
3. 3Each wallet is credited (its balance ÷ circulating supply) × the pool.
4. 4Shares smaller than 0.00001 ZEC are not written; that dust rolls into the next round, so nothing is lost.

Every round is public: the slot, the holder count, the amount and the coin are listed on the coin page and on the payouts page.

Open the claim page and connect the wallet that holds the coin. The page lists every hush coin in the wallet, every credit you have earned and every payout already sent.

1. 1Paste a Zcash address. Unified (u1…) or Sapling (zs1…) keeps the payout private; transparent (t1…) works too.
2. 2Press claim. Your wallet asks you to sign a short message that names your wallet, the asset, the destination address and the time. No transaction is sent and no gas is paid.
3. 3The server checks the signature, reserves every open credit for that wallet in one claim, checks the address with NEAR Intents, and opens the withdrawal.
4. 4The claim shows as on its way until the Zcash chain confirms it, then as paid with the transaction link.

Claims open once your unclaimed total reaches 0.0005 ZEC. Credits below that keep accumulating round after round until it does.

Zcash has two kinds of address. Shielded addresses encrypt the amount, the memo and the recipient on chain; transparent addresses work like Bitcoin and are fully visible. hush pays to either, and recommends a shielded one.

## What is public, what is private

The address you claim to is stored so the withdrawal can be opened and retried, and it is never shown to anyone else. For the strongest privacy, use a fresh unified address from a shielded wallet such as Zashi or Ywallet for each claim.

## What is held, and where

The keeper operates the vaults and the pool; that is the trust hush asks for. In return everything it does is visible: every collect, sweep and payout has a transaction on Solana, NEAR or Zcash.

Bonding curve

The automatic market a coin trades on at launch. Price follows supply sold; ZEC is the reserve.

Graduation

When the curve fills and liquidity moves to an AMM pool paired with ZEC.

Vault

The coin's own account that receives its 1% holder fee in ZEC.

Keeper

The process that collects vaults, opens sweeps, runs rounds and settles claims.

Pool

Native ZEC held for a coin's holders inside intents.near, between sweep and claim.

Round

One distribution: a holder snapshot at one slot and a pro-rata split of the pool.

Intent

A signed request for an outcome that solvers compete to fill on NEAR Intents.

Deposit address

A one-time address a quote returns; paying it is what starts an intent.

Shielded address

A Zcash address (u1…, zs1…) whose transfers are encrypted on chain.
