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].
