Following the successful migration of our native token ZEN to an ERC-20 on Base, we have officially launched our L3 testnet on Base, debuting Singularity’s DarkSwap as the first application in our new privacy-focused ecosystem.

This milestone marks the beginning of a new era for Horizen, as we evolve from our legacy UTXO chain into a modular appchain ecosystem built for the next wave of privacy-enabled DeFi.

The last and final mainnet node upgrade for Horizen is here. These releases will activate the migration to Base and sunset the legacy chain. Download now.

Horizen is migrating to Base on July 23, 2025, and the EON network will be winding down. Users must move their wZEN and DeFi Tokens off EON before 7/23

As Horizen prepares to migrate ZEN to an ERC-20 token on Base, security is your first priority. Migrations are prime targets for scammers — and a few simple precautions can protect your assets.

As Horizen prepares for the upcoming migration to its new appchain on Base, we’re inviting the community to participate in a testnet dry run.

We’re excited to share that Horizen has successfully completed two independent security audits, conducted by Cantina, covering both our smart contracts and claiming tools users will use to claim and manage their assets.

DeFi was supposed to be our escape. It promised a permissionless, borderless, bankless finance. A parallel world where control shifted from institutions to individuals. But DeFi forgot to lock the door behind us somewhere along the way.
