Bitcoin Hush (BTCH)BTCH
“Technically NOT A FORK, but a merged airdrop” by its own announcement.
A Komodo asset chain launched in 2018 that imported UTXO balances from HUSH, SUPERNET, DEX and BTC and described itself as a merged airdrop, not a fork.
The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Hush took BTC balances without taking Bitcoin's chain, and said so in capitals, which makes it the clearest line in this wiki between a fork and an airdrop.[1]

Merged airdrop
The announcement by clamoring on 26 January 2018 describes Bitcoin Hush as “a Komodo (KMD) asset chain with imported Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) datasets from four different blockchains (HUSH, SUPERNET, DEX, BTC)”[1]. It adds: “It does not fork from KMD, nor does it fork from BTC or HUSH. It is technically NOT A FORK, but a merged airdrop”[1].
Details
The announcement said a block height would be chosen “closest to (but not later than) 12pm NOON UTC on Feb 1st 2018”, and that holders had to control the private keys of their transparent addresses to receive the airdrop[1]. The project's GitHub site calls BTCH “The Immaculate Merge Drop”[2]. The announcement gives a total supply of “21,000,000 coins, like Satoshi intended”, names jl777 and Duke Leto among its creators, and says the first exchange would be BarterDEX[1].
