HushFund is a privacy-preserving fundraising protocol designed for Web3. On most public blockchains, donations are fully transparent, meaning a donor’s wallet address, balances, and transaction history can be viewed by anyone. While transparency helps with accountability, it can also discourage people from donating to sensitive or humanitarian causes because of privacy concerns.
HushFund solves this problem by enabling private, verifiable donations on-chain. Built using Zama’s FHEVM, the platform leverages Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to keep donation amounts encrypted while still allowing smart contracts to perform computations on them. This means donations can be securely added and verified without revealing the actual values to the public.
Organizers can easily create fundraising campaigns, and donors can contribute directly from their wallets without signups or KYC. The smart contract manages encrypted balances, ensuring that campaigns remain transparent in verification while protecting the financial privacy of contributors.
By combining blockchain transparency with cryptographic privacy, HushFund creates a new model for fundraising in Web3 one where donors can support causes securely, privately, and with full on-chain accountability.
