Horizen has completed the migration of its native ZEN token to the Base blockchain as an ERC-20 asset, marking a significant milestone in its transition to a modular privacy-enabled decentralized finance (DeFi) appchain. This move is part of Horizen 2.0, a Layer 3 privacy-focused appchain on Base [1][2].The migration of ZEN to Base blockchain as an ERC-20 token allows Horizen to leverage the scalability and compliance features of the Base ecosystem. The transition is designed to enhance privacy features, making Horizen a compelling choice for privacy-centric DeFi applications [1][2].
Horizen has also announced that ZEN will power a privacy-enabled DeFi appchain with Singularity integration and DAO-led governance and DeFi vaults. The circulating supply of ZEN has increased to 17.25 million, with 750,000 tokens allocated to the Horizen DAO and 500,000 to the Horizen Foundation [3].
Horizen's move to Base blockchain is part of a broader ecosystem relaunch focused on modular privacy and sustainable on-chain utility. The project has been evolving since its inception as ZenCash in 2017, with a renewed focus on supporting decentralized applications and privacy features [1].
The migration of ZEN to Base blockchain is expected to boost Horizen’s position in the growing Base ecosystem, offering investors and developers a privacy-focused DeFi platform with advanced zero-knowledge proof technology [1][2][3].
