Zerohash launches AUTH to move crypto without copying wallet addresses

Sending crypto still involves pasting a long string of letters and numbers and hoping you picked the right blockchain. Zerohash would like that ritual to end.

The on-chain infrastructure provider unveiled AUTH on October 19, 2026, at the Money 20/20 USA conference in Las Vegas. The product is an authentication and account-linking layer. Users connect their accounts once, then move digital assets between them without ever typing an address or choosing a network by hand.

How AUTH works

AUTH sits between a user’s various accounts, whether those are exchanges, brokerages or self-custodial wallets. Once accounts are linked, transfers flow between them directly.

The two steps that trip people up most, entering an alphanumeric wallet address and selecting the correct blockchain network, are handled behind the scenes.

The product isn’t built from scratch. It draws on functionality Zerohash previously offered in beta, now packaged into a formal launch.

Asset coverage is broad. AUTH supports transfers of crypto assets, stablecoins and tokenized securities.

The network behind it

A transfer layer is only as useful as the places it connects to. Zerohash says AUTH is interoperable with more than 600 accounts.

The named platforms are hard to ignore: Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini are all part of the network. Kraken is expected to join following its beta integration, though that connection is not yet described as live.

Zerohash’s developer documentation breaks the figure down further. It lists 639 wallet connections and 4 exchange or brokerage accounts.

Zerohash also says it supports users in more than 190 countries.

A Mastercard veteran at the wheel

Leading the product is Ryan Beaudry, who has been named General Manager of AUTH. He previously served as Executive Vice President of Global Product and Operations at Mastercard.

The company frames AUTH around user permission and control. Accounts connect only with the user’s consent, a design choice that matters when the product touches both custodial platforms and self-custodial wallets.

The regulatory backdrop

The launch lands while Zerohash pursues a federal trust charter. The company refiled a narrower version of its application in August 2026, and that application is still pending.
