Awesome article @rocket from someone who has been part of the project from the very beginning. “This isn’t just about upgrading technology. It’s about making privacy accessible to everyone, not just the technically savvy. It’s about building the infrastructure that will power the next wave of confidential DeFi, private communications, and zero-knowledge applications.” This is a unique moment for us to take advantage of where the industry has gone over the last 8 years since ZEN launched. To my knowledge, there aren’t any other projects with the history we have that have had the ability to transform and evolve with the industry. This puts us in a unique position and I’m excited to see the project take full advantage of it. There has never been a more exciting time for Horizen.
