Zerohash launches AUTH to move crypto without copying wallet addresses
In brief
- Zerohash unveiled AUTH on October 19, 2026, at Money 20/20 USA in Las Vegas.
- AUTH users link accounts once, then transfer assets without typing addresses or selecting networks manually.
- AUTH works with 600+ accounts, including Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini, according to Zerohash.
- Kraken is expected to join after its beta integration but isn't described as live.
- Ryan Beaudry, a former Mastercard executive, was named General Manager of AUTH.
How AUTH works
AUTH sits between a user's accounts, whether they're exchanges, brokerages or self-custodial wallets, according to Crypto Briefing. Accounts only connect with the user's consent. Once they're linked, the two steps that trip people up most (entering an alphanumeric wallet address and selecting the correct blockchain network) are handled behind the scenes.
So what can actually move through it? Zerohash said AUTH supports transfers of crypto assets, stablecoins and tokenized securities.
It's not built from scratch, either. The product draws on functionality Zerohash previously offered in beta, now packaged into a formal launch.
Who's on the network
Zerohash said AUTH is interoperable with more than 600 accounts and supports users in more than 190 countries. Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini were named as part of the network.
Kraken isn't live yet.
The exchange is expected to join following its beta integration, though Crypto Briefing didn't describe that connection as active. The breakdown is worth a look too: Zerohash's developer documentation, as cited by Crypto Briefing, lists 639 wallet connections and 4 exchange or brokerage accounts. That means most of the 600-plus figure is wallets rather than trading venues.
Leadership and the charter application
Ryan Beaudry has been named General Manager of AUTH. He previously served as Executive Vice President of Global Product and Operations at Mastercard.
Zerohash also refiled a narrower federal trust charter application in August 2026, and that application is still pending, per Crypto Briefing's report.
