The project was launched in 2017 as a fork of Zclassic (which itself was a fork of Zcash). However, it quickly evolved into an independent ecosystem with its own unique technology and vision.
2. Zendoo – their own sidechain technology
Horizen developed Zendoo, a proprietary solution that allows the creation of unlimited sidechains. Each sidechain can have its own rules, programming language, and consensus mechanism – while still being secured by the main ZEN blockchain.
3. Over 40,000 active nodes
Horizen has one of the largest node networks in the blockchain world (Secure & Super Nodes), which ensures high decentralization and strong network stability.
4. Privacy by choice
ZEN does not force private transactions – users can choose whether to send funds publicly or with full privacy protection, thanks to zk-SNARKs technology.
5. Ecosystem supported by grants and DAO initiatives
Horizen launched the Horizen Community Council and a grant program that supports developers and projects building on the platform. A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is also planned for future governance.
