Horizen (ZEN) is a blockchain network that utilizes zero-knowledge cryptography to provide a platform for the development of decentralized applications. It is powered by an extensive node infrastructure and employs the Zendoo protocol to enable blockchain interoperability. The network has the capacity to support up to 10,000 sidechains with a throughput limit of 10,000,000 transactions per second (TPS). Horizen's native digital asset, ZEN, is a mineable Proof-of-Work (PoW) coin that can be staked to participate in the network's extensive node system. The network seeks to provide a permissionless environment where developers can deploy their blockchains using a variety of Software Development Kits (SDKs).

Horizen operates through a network of blockchains powered by the Zendoo protocol, which employs SNARK-verification to enable blockchain interoperability. This allows for flexibility in sidechain type, consensus, and speed. The network has the capacity to support up to 10,000 sidechains, each capable of running up to 1,000 TPS. Developers can deploy their blockchains within the ecosystem using SDKs like Blaze and Latus, which are based on IOHK's Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol. Horizen's native digital asset, ZEN, can be staked to participate in the network's node system, contributing to the network's decentralization.

Horizen strives to provide a platform for the development of decentralized applications. Its zero-knowledge-enabled network of blockchains allows developers to build scalable blockchains that can support tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining decentralization. Additionally, Horizen's sidechain solution, Zendoo, enables the deployment of thousands of independent sidechains that can communicate with the mainchain and each other, expanding the potential use cases for the network.

Horizen was established by Rob Viglione and Rolf Versluis. Rob Viglione, who holds a Ph.D. in Finance and has worked as a scientist in the space industry, is the co-founder and CEO of Horizen Labs and the team lead of the Zen Blockchain Foundation. Rolf Versluis, an experienced business owner in the IT industry and a former officer in the US Submarine force, is the co-founder and executive advisor of the Zen Blockchain Foundation. Jane Lippencott, a member of the founding team and co-author of the original whitepaper, is now a partner at a16z Crypto. Horizen is recognized for its expertise in zero-knowledge-based blockchain technology and has made several advancements in the cryptography space.
