Guix can use =E2=80=9Csubstitutes=E2=80=9D (binaries) from Hydra, just like=
 Nix does.

Alternately (but I=E2=80=99m not sure that=E2=80=99s what you=E2=80=99re as=
king for), it has
support to offload builds to remote machines over SSH (info "(guix)
Daemon Offload Setup").

There=E2=80=99s currently nothing like =E2=80=98nix-push=E2=80=99, though.

Does it answer your question?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
