Hshare (HSR) is a decentralized and open source cryptocurrency whose developers describe it as being “the new standard of value”. There’s been some confusion between Hshare and Hcash. Basically, Hshare was the precursor, which is why the two cryptocurrencies even share the same logo. Hshare originates in China and has been likened variously to IOTA and ARK.

Hshare appears to have now been rebranded to Hcash. On the Hcash website, the developers explain that the Hcash platform is designed to facilitate cross-platform exchanges. Hcash also provides side chains that can be applied to block-based and blockless blockchains. The technology underpinning Hshare and its predecessor Hshare is a distributed ledger with zero knowledge proofs.
