As we all know, Horizen has changed a lot in the last few years, and especially in the last 16 months. The end of private transactions, the depreciation of Secure Nodes, the beginning of the DAO, the launch of EVM… so many changes that are already intense for the internal teams to follow, and even more difficult for the community to understand and follow.
In this article, we’ll focus on helping you understand Horizen 2.0, the one on the horizon.
The goal is to make it understandable to anyone entering the blockchain ecosystem, the particular interest of Horizen and its $ZEN cryptocurrency.
Since this is a dense program, I’m going to offer you several articles. If you’re already familiar with some of the concepts, you don’t need to read the articles, but your feedback is always appreciated. Would you have explained the principle of decentralization differently to your uncle Jacques, or have you found a new way to get him interested in technology thanks to my article?
Together, we’ll get our families on board and spark curiosity among non-coiners, and from my point of view, there’s nothing better than appreciating and sharing knowledge about the underlying blockchain technology.
Here are the articles, the links, and the list will be updated when new articles come out:
