What Is Horizen (ZEN)?
Horizen is a blockchain platform that focuses on privacy, scalability, and security, utilizing zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to support decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2017, Horizen operates as an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible network, making it a versatile choice for developers. Its ecosystem is optimized for ZK-based use cases, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), identity verification, and gaming. ZEN, the native cryptocurrency of Horizen, plays a critical role in powering the network and facilitating governance through the Horizen Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
How Horizen Works
Horizen operates on a Layer 1 blockchain architecture designed for efficiency and modularity. It integrates zkVerify, a solution for proof verification that reduces costs and enhances performance. Developers can utilize precompiled contracts for ZK proof verification, simplifying the creation of private and secure dApps. The network leverages the Substrate framework, which divides the system into two main components: the Core Client for network activity and the WebAssembly (Wasm) Runtime for state transitions. This structure enables Horizen to support a variety of use cases, from private financial transactions to secure supply chain management.
Who Are the Founders of Horizen?
Horizen was co-founded by Dr. Rob Viglione, Rolf Versluis, and Jane Lippencott.
