Review on Horizen by Gabriel Medina
Cryptocurrency and private platform for business users
As is known, projects have emerged that understand what it is like to live in a totally guarded society where they directly invade our privacy, so we could easily be deprived of our fundamental human right. Horizen (ZEN) is a project launched in 2017 that was previously called ZenCash. It is an incentive platform with privacy features such as fingerprints optionally. The objective of Horizen is to be more than a simple cryptocurrency, the idea that it has goes in the search of giving possibilities to communications, data or values that can be transmitted and stored in a discreet and secure way through the integration of its ecosystem in that everyone can be trained and rewarded for their contribution. ZEN is the cryptocurrency of this Horizen project that is nothing more than an optional privacy contributor to allow fingerprint control. The cryptocurrency has a large number of users and miners in Latin America (especially my country, Venezuela). If you are so concerned about your privacy after so many disclosures, I suggest you use Horizen.
Pros
- Team with a strong background in cryptography, blockchain technology, finance and business development.
- It uses content delivery networks, Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and the same sk-SNARKS cryptography used by Zcash. These characteristics make the transactions anonymous which will provide users with high levels of security and privacy in all their transactions.
- It has many applications, features, and products to offer that could be of great benefit to mostly business users. All this because Horizen understands or understands these types of users for their loyal permanence.
Cons
- There has been some criticism regarding the project where it is said that the creation of unlimited ZEN coins could be allowed and rumors for its original code that it could remove any privacy from the coin and blockchain.
