A Layer 1 platform for zero-knowledge applications, empowering developers to make the digital world more secure and private for everyone.
Native Layer 1 Architecture
Horizen's native Layer 1 architecture maintains complete decentralization through its own network and infrastructure, ensuring robust security and uninterrupted operation. Unlike Layer 2 solutions that often rely on centralized sequencers and operators, introducing single points of failure and security risks, Horizen's foundation is built for true decentralization.
Independent Infrastructure
While L2s are constrained by Ethereum's rules and gas prices, Horizen's independent architecture provides complete freedom in protocol development and cost optimization. This independence enables us to implement innovative features and maintain cost-effective operations without being tethered to another blockchain's limitations.
Fast Finality
L2 solutions struggle with delayed finality due to complex fraud-proving mechanisms and dependency on Ethereum. Horizen achieves faster finality through its native L1 architecture, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time interactions and immediate asset transfers.
Simplified Development
L2 rollups face significant challenges in maintenance and updates, as all changes must conform to Ethereum's proving processes. Horizen's flexible architecture allows for seamless updates and optimizations, enabling developers to focus on innovation rather than complex compatibility requirements.
Horizen is evolving into Horizen 2.0, a next-generation Layer 1 platform optimized for ZK applications, offering enhanced privacy and scalability.
Horizen's legacy Mainchain and Horizen EON sidechain are merging into a unified blockchain, marking a pivotal milestone in our journey towards zk dapps with enhanced privacy. This transformative upgrade supports advanced ZK dApps, enabling high-speed, low-cost transactions through efficient proof verification protocols. Our platform delivers unparalleled performance and privacy for users and partners, setting new standards in secure and decentralized ecosystems.
