Anonymous domain acquisition, same quiet desk.
Onchain TLDs are our core. The method travels well. For anonymous domain acquisition of a premium web2 name, or any digital asset where your identity would move the price, Hush Partners approaches the holder and keeps you out of the conversation.

What does research cover for a web2 domain?
Public registration data, history of ownership and use, any trademark sensitivity your counsel should know about, and a realistic value range before an offer is made.
Why escrow that fits the asset?
A registrar transfer and an onchain transfer follow different mechanics. The escrow named in the terms must be able to hold funds until that specific handover is confirmed.
Can you act as domain broker for the seller?
Yes, on a separate file. We never act for both sides of the same deal.
Where we stop
Some assets and some requests fall outside the desk, whatever the fee.
- Social media handles, because the platforms prohibit their sale
- Any asset whose transfer would break the rules of the platform or registry it lives on
- Assets the seller cannot prove they control
- Hiding a material fact about an asset from the other side
- Representing buyer and seller in one file
Domain broker questions
Can I buy a premium domain without the seller knowing who I am?
Yes. The seller deals with Hush Partners. Your organization is disclosed only if you approve it in writing, typically at closing when a registrar needs the receiving account.
Do you sell or buy social media handles?
No. Most platforms forbid the sale of handles in their terms, and we do not work around those rules.
How long does a domain acquisition take?
It depends on the holder and the registrar. First contact usually follows the brief within days. Transfers then follow the registry's own timing.
How is a domain file priced?
Quoted privately before any approach, like every mandate at Hush Partners.
