Horizen is building a technology platform with optional privacy features that aims to enable an application-rich and inclusive ecosystem to provide people with freedom and everyday usability.

Launched in May 2017, the leading-edge platform enables real-life uses beyond its cryptocurrency - ZEN, including the ability to deploy sidechains and integrate third party technologies.

Horizen is built upon an end-to-end encrypted system using zero-knowledge technology, over which communications, data, or value can be securely transmitted and stored. It is a platform for an ecosystem of products, services and businesses built upon a permissionless, decentralized blockchain.
