Zerohash Launches AUTH: Send Crypto Without Copying Wallet Addresses

Sending crypto has always been scary for beginners. One wrong character in a wallet address and your money can be lost forever. A company called Zerohash wants to fix that with a new tool named AUTH.

What is AUTH?

AUTH lets you move crypto (digital money like Bitcoin) between your linked accounts without copying long, confusing wallet addresses or choosing which blockchain (the digital network that records crypto transactions) to use. Instead, you just pick an account, sign in, and approve the transfer. The system handles the technical details behind the scenes.

It works with several types of digital assets:

• Regular crypto (like Bitcoin)
• Stablecoins (crypto designed to stay at a fixed value, usually $1)
• Stock tokens (digital versions of company shares that live on a blockchain)

• Supports more than 600 connections in total
• 639 wallets (apps that store your crypto) are supported
• 4 exchange or brokerage accounts (platforms where you buy and sell) are included
• Big names supported: Coinbase, Robinhood, Gemini, MetaMask, and Phantom
• Kraken is still being tested (in "beta")

Moving crypto today often means copying addresses, double-checking them, and even sending tiny "test payments" first to make sure nothing goes wrong. Experts say this friction is one of the biggest reasons everyday people avoid crypto. AUTH aims to remove that hassle so people don't have to understand the technology to use it.

About the company

Zerohash, founded in 2017, is a Chicago-based company that provides the behind-the-scenes crypto technology (infrastructure) for other businesses — including Morgan Stanley's E*Trade. Earlier this year, a planned takeover by Mastercard fell through. The firm is also seeking approval to become a national trust bank (a regulated financial institution), though that application is still pending after a regulator sent it back for changes.

The takeaway: AUTH tries to make sending crypto feel as simple as sending a text — no addresses, no network choices, just a tap to approve.
