Dash: Platform 5.1 adds anonymous contact requests and private username payments - Nov 2026
Dash's Platform 5.1 release is planned for November 2026. The roadmap milestone adds anonymous contact requests and anonymous documents. Zero-knowledge proofs let the network verify a request without learning who sent it. The version also adds payments to a username, either directly on Platform or privately through the shielded pool.The additions extend Dash's privacy utility across Platform interactions, combining request verification that conceals the sender with a private route for username payments. The shielded pool option could direct more Platform payment activity through privacy-preserving mechanics rather than direct payments. That potential use depends on the Platform 5.0 base being live.
