📖Introduction to Hurricane

Hurricane Finance (hurricane.finance) is a community-led privacy protocol that provides a "privacy layer" for DeFi users and protocols.

Motivation

Protocol development is guided and by two fundamental principles:

  • We believe cryptocurrency is a liberating force against censorship and tyranny.

  • We also believe in a fundamental right to financial privacy and its essentiality to a freer, more prosperous world.

Blockchain ledgers are usually fully permissionelss but entirely public.

It is difficult for the average user to transact between wallets without any on-chain association that might link the sender and receiver.

Hurricane removes the complexities of traceless asset transfers on public blockchain ledgers, by enabling anyone to privately send and privately swap tokens in just a few steps.

Private transactions made through Hurricane are secured by advanced mixing algorithms, which automate the hard work required to ensure that no payment or swap made using the protocol can be traced.

Hurricane maintains compatibility with many distributed blockchain networks but considers Ethereum as its home base. Ethereum is also where the $HFI and $sHFI smart contracts are deployed.

Architecture

Hurricane provides a web interface for each of the three main user-facing branches of the protocol:
