The Cryptoverse suffered heavy blows in 2022, and many projects collapse due to people that chased personal glory not global crypto implementation. However, there are projects that worked behind the scene and kept evolving. Horizen is THAT project that keeps innovating the Cryptoverse and drives forward the adoption of blockchain solutions.
The Horizen Ecosystem grows bigger and bigger, as tools like Zendoo, Cobalt Wallet and TokenMint were created and implemented. It's no better time to earn $ZEN, the cryptocurrency with huge potential for 2023!
The Horizen’s cross-chain protocol, Zendoo, was designed for developers to build blockchains and applications that solve today’s real-world problems with the flexibility to capture tomorrow’s opportunities! The zk-SNARK enabled verifiable cross-chain transfer protocol is powering a privacy-preserving and fully decentralized network of blockchains with massive throughput and scalability.
The Zendoo protocol was built to solve the inefficiency and lack of transparency in traditional auditing processes, by validating proof of reserves in near-real-time without revealing identifiable information or relying on third-party validators.
zk-SNARKs means Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge and will change the traditional audits by eliminating the dependencies on centralized entities and empower the community. Why are the zk-SNARKs so important? Because the privacy technology allows efficient verification without revealing any identifiable information.
TokenMint is a Horizen sidechain that provides quick and easy token launch for everyone. The sidechain allows users to mint custom tokens with no developer skills in a process that is fully transparent and provable.
Anyone can create fungible tokens on this sidechain, and dive into the Horizen ecosystem. There is no limit to the number of tokens you can create, and no limitations when it comes to fixed number of tokens or unlimited supplies.
The phased rollout will ensure security since the first steps, as Horizen Labs will protect and limit the access to TokenMint nodes until the staked amount will be enough to consider attacks unlikely to happen. At that point node operators will strengthen security and decentralization.
The process is simplified, and the tokens can be created in three steps. Cobalt Wallet is needed to create a TokenMint address and ZEN is required for transactions fee. The next step is also the final part... as minting tokens never been easier.
Cobalt Wallet currently supports any fungible tokens that are minted on TokenMint, and can support ZEN transfers into the platform for the purpose of paying transaction fees. Also, Cobalt Wallet allows users to mint and manage the tokens directly from the web browser. Download Cobalt Wallet from TokenMint or from the Chrome Store and add it as a browser extension.
Set your password, at least 16 characters, and add Cobalt Wallet to your browser. Agree with the Terms of Use, save your seed phrase, confirm your seed phrase and you are ready to go!
The new Punkz Hero game is powered by PKZ tokens, minted on Token Mint. The game is available on PipeFlare, a play2earn crypto gaming platform powered by the $FLARE token. You can play games, collect free tokens from the fountains, claim airdrops and earn rewards through the referral program.
You have to connect the Cobalt Wallet to play and earn PKZ. The game is easy to play but still challenging, and earning crypto while playing makes it even better. Play2Earn got easier with Horizen and TokenMint.
