There is a new ZenIP Proposal, ZenIP 42409, which is an Addendum to ZenIP 42407: Horizen Tokenomics Proposal. This ZenIP proposal has been in the community discussion phase since it went live on Discourse on April 1st, 2025.

The new version ZEN 5.0.6 is available to download on GitHub and via Docker.

The ZenIP 42406 Addendum proposes a major strategic move: migrating Horizen ($ZEN) and EON to Base (Coinbase’s Layer 2) as an appchain optimized for privacy-preserving apps.

On February 15th, 2025, the Horizen DAO held a Special Council vote, marking a significant event in the governance of the Horizen ecosystem. This vote was open for 7 days, closing on February 22nd, 2025.

The Horizen 2.0 upgrade is progressing smoothly, with key technical milestones already reached and a clear timeline ahead. The preparation for the migration of $ZEN to the new network is complete, ensuring a seamless token claiming process for holders for the June 2025 mainnet launch. Horizen 2.0 is currently running on an internal Devnet while the team conducts various quality assurance and testing in preparation of the public testnet launch.

The digital world is evolving, and with it comes a growing demand for privacy, security, and trust. Enter Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)—a groundbreaking technology that's revolutionizing how we interact with data, systems, and each other.

2024 has been nothing short of transformative for Horizen. From groundbreaking upgrades to enhanced tokenomics and a bold brand refresh, this year marked a defining moment in our journey.

On December 12, 2024, $ZEN will undergo its last halving before a major transition in the project’s tokenomics. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in Horizen's evolution and sets the stage for an exciting new phase in 2025.

The new version ZEN 5.0.5 is available to download on GitHub and via Docker.
