What is the project about?   Horizen is a modular privacy-first platform designed to make privacy technology, such as zero-knowledge proofs and TEEs accessible and usable across the web. Originally launched in 2017 as a fair launch, non-ICO project, Horizen is now undergoing a major evolution with the launch of Horizen 2.0, a next-generation Layer 3 (L3) appchain deployed on Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 developed by Coinbase.  Horizen 2.0 is built as an Ethereum-aligned Layer 3 appchain on Base, inheriting Ethereum's security while implementing its own application-level integrity guarantees.    Key components of Horizen’s security model include:  Ethereum-Aligned Security: As an appchain deployed on Base, Horizen 2.0 benefits from Base’s rollup security and settlement on Ethereum, ensuring robust finality and composability with other L2 and L3 applications.  Simplified and Secure Architecture: Unlike Horizen’s previous iterations (which used a hybrid PoW/PoS model), Horizen 2.0 focuses on application-level security, decentralization of its privacy layers, and composability with existing infrastructure — reducing complexity and increasing user safety.  Decentralized Privacy Stack: Horizen’s focus on decentralizing privacy infrastructure (e.g., decentralized proof generation) allows for modular, secure applications that uphold data confidentiality without compromising performance.    What makes your project unique?  Privacy-first Approach: Horizen integrates a diverse stack of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) — including zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), trusted execution environments (TEEs), attribute-based encryption (ABE), multi-party computation (MPC), and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) — to deliver scalable, flexible, and future-ready privacy solutions across its platform.  First Privacy Appchain on Base: As an L3 on Base, Horizen benefits from Ethereum’s security and Base’s scalability, while enabling a privacy layer for any app on the network. This unlocks new possibilities for private identity, DeFi, onchain gaming, and compliant confidential transactions.  Zero-Knowledge, Without the Trade-Offs: Horizen 2.0 scales ZK privacy and verification by integrating with leading zk infrastructure providers such as Fermah, zkVerify, and Singularity, optimizing proof generation for performance, cost-efficiency, and developer usability.  Token Utility Expansion: ZEN’s updated tokenomics allocates 5 million unminted tokens toward strategic ecosystem growth. ZEN powers DAO governance, serves as a payment token in privacy apps, and supports a sustainability fund to accelerate privacy innovation.  Developer-Centric Design: With EVM compatibility, privacy-friendly tooling, and the ability to embed privacy directly into smart contracts, Horizen allows developers to build privacy-first apps without requiring deep cryptographic expertise.  DAO-Led Governance: Governed by the Horizen DAO and shaped through community proposals (ZENIPs), Horizen is evolving as a fully decentralized protocol with transparent development and decision-making.    What can your coin/token be used for?  Horizen 2.0 delivers performance, privacy, and scalability for developers building privacy-enabled and compliance-friendly applications, with significantly reduced cost and latency.  At the core of the ecosystem is ZEN, the native utility token used for governance, accessing privacy services, and fueling zkApp interactions. With its migration to Base, ZEN becomes an ERC-20 token, improving liquidity, interoperability, and composability across the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

ZenCash

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Litecoin

Litecoin is trending as the first US ETF tracking Litecoin launched, though some traders are expressing concern over low initial trading volume.  Community members are debating whether the ETF approval was already priced in, while others are anticipating a significant price increase as institutional investors enter the market. Bullish sentiment remains around Litecoin's long-term potential and its digital silver narrative.

Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private.  Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Our improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proofs, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.  How Zcash works  Zcash encrypts the contents of shielded transactions. Since the payment information is encrypted, the protocol uses a novel cryptographic method to verify their validity.  Zcash uses a zero-knowledge proof construction called a zk-SNARK, developed by our team of experienced cryptographers based on recent breakthroughs in cryptography. These constructions allow the network to maintain a secure ledger of balances without disclosing the parties or amounts involved. Instead of publicly demonstrating spend-authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted and zk-SNARKs are used to prove that nobody is cheating or stealing.  Zcash also enables users to send public payments which work similarly to Bitcoin. With the support for both shielded and transparent addresses, users can choose to send Zcash privately or publicly. Zcash payments sent from a shielded address to a transparent address reveal the received balance, while payments from a transparent address to a shielded address protect the receiving value.   Check out CoinBureau for guide on What is ZCash.

Zcash

Zcash is trending amid speculation about its potential role in privacy-focused integrations, possibly linked to Elon Musk's X platform, sparking community discussion about its use case versus competitors. Some community members are drawing comparisons to Bitcoin's early days, while others highlight its privacy features as a key differentiator in the crypto landscape.
