What is Horizen and How Does It Work?
Horizen is a proof-of-work blockchain platform launched in 2017 that focuses on privacy and scalability. Originally known as ZenCash, the project rebranded to Horizen in 2018 to better reflect its broader vision. ZEN serves as the native cryptocurrency that powers the Horizen ecosystem and facilitates transactions across its network.
The platform utilises a unique sidechain architecture called Zendoo, which allows developers to build custom blockchain applications while maintaining interoperability with the main chain. What sets Horizen apart is its optional privacy feature that gives users the choice between transparent and shielded transactions, providing flexibility in controlling their digital footprint and transaction visibility.
- Optional privacy – Users can choose transparent or shielded transactions
- Proof-of-work consensus – Secured by mining using Equihash algorithm
- Sidechain technology – Zendoo enables custom blockchain applications
- Node network – Operates one of the largest node networks in crypto
- Interoperability – Cross-chain functionality between sidechains and main chain
