Horizen Re-poster

This month, the US Treasury addressed Congress to confirm that maintaining onchain financial privacy is a perfectly valid necessity. This acknowledgment is quite a noteworthy development because back in the year 2022, that exact same government agency issued sanctions against Tornado Cash. The underlying reasons why this situation is highly significant are detailed below.

Horizen đang định hình tương lai của DeFi riêng tư bằng cách thiết lập nền tảng của mình trên Base, được công nhận là một trong những nền tảng đang phát triển nhanh nhất trong toàn bộ hệ sinh thái. Hiện tại, mạng lưới Base đang nắm giữ thành công hơn 12 tỷ đô la trong tài sản và lưu trữ gần 700 triệu địa chỉ ví độc nhất.

The transparency that originally served to build confidence has now become the primary hurdle preventing broader use. Conventional financial systems have never accepted the practice of revealing account balances, payment movements, and business tactics to rivals or unauthorized observers. Horizen successfully resolves this issue.

For fellow developers building onchain privacy solutions, staying informed about the current priorities of regulators is essential. The White House recently published its new AI policy framework, detailing several challenges that existing cryptographic techniques are already equipped to resolve. Below is an overview of the primary proposals found in the document.

Today, one of the most frequent and lucrative methods of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) seen across DEXs continues to be the sandwich attack. It might surprise you to learn that since 2024, these specific maneuvers have caused Ethereum users to lose in excess of $60m.

When it comes to your preferred DEX, what are the key features and benefits you value above everything else?

We will gladly generate and deliver a customized privacy summary regarding your X account directly to you. You might be completely unaware of the amount of personal details your daily updates are actually broadcasting, so this completely free evaluation has the potential to provide some very unexpected insights.

Onchain privacy is for you if:
- You trade to win, not to be copied
- You think your wallet balance is your business
- You think MEV bots have taken enough already
- You want DeFi access without the surveillance

When it comes to navigating the blockchain, what is your top recommendation for maintaining onchain privacy?

It is simply impossible to audit a black box. Because of this inherent lack of transparency, a fascinating question arises whenever two AI agents execute a transaction onchain. Who exactly steps in to confirm that neither system is being deceptive? Within the DeFi space, the answer to this specific problem holds a trillion-dollar value.

Tin tuyệt vời cho các thành viên trong cộng đồng nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha của chúng tôi, vì Horizen đã chính thức ra mắt một kênh Telegram hoàn toàn mới được tạo ra riêng cho bạn. Se habla español.

Because anyone can easily monitor every single executed trade, active position, and financial movement, 75% of institutions completely avoid participating in DeFi. The clear solution to this transparency issue is the introduction of a dedicated privacy layer. We are pleased to share that our team is actively constructing this essential infrastructure directly on @base.

Financial support is actively flowing to innovators creating long overdue privacy frameworks, all thanks to the @thriveprotocol x Horizen Developer Grant Program. We are incredibly excited to present the projects participating in this cohort.

Operating as a digital asset treasury, @StratosLab_ is among the selected teams. We are also welcoming @_accessfi, a project dedicated to converting data into verifiable marketplaces by confirming validity and value directly on-chain. Another fantastic addition is @poly_pay, which offers a payroll platform carefully designed to maintain strict privacy standards.

Furthermore, the initiative features @GattaRewards, acting as the foundational loyalty layer to support agentic and modern commerce. Institutional traders will greatly benefit from the work of @darkswapzk, as they are building a highly confidential and secure platform tailored to those exact needs. Additionally, @revealmarket is stepping in to provide a fully decentralized prediction market. Rounding out this impressive group is @TactizenMMO, an engaging geopolitical browser MMORPG.

A long history of sharing too much information online has created a reality that cannot be erased. Because of this, artificial intelligence now has the ability to uncover the real identity behind your social media accounts simply by comparing your public updates. Looking ahead, your onchain financial life could easily become the next area exposed by this technology.

If you currently own $ZEN, you are eligible to participate in the active Horizen DAO Special Council election. A total of 6 candidates are stepping up to fill the 3 open seats for this cohort. Please ensure you submit your decisions before the deadline on March 24 by visiting the following address:

I am curious to know if others share the perspective that widespread adoption of DeFi will remain out of reach until native confidentiality features are fully integrated.

Chúng tôi muốn bày tỏ lòng biết ơn đến cộng đồng của chúng tôi, những người luôn tham gia và đầy đam mê, vì sự tiến bộ như thế này không bao giờ có thể xảy ra nếu không có sự tham gia liên tục của bạn. Bằng cách đạt được tỷ lệ biểu quyết 113%, ZenIP-42408 đã được phê duyệt chính thức. Phiếu bầu thuận lợi này cung cấp tín hiệu chính thức để đưa trở lại việc staking $ZEN. Để nuôi dưỡng đúng cách sự mở rộng đang diễn ra của hệ sinh thái của chúng tôi trên @Base, việc tái giới thiệu này sẽ được triển khai thông qua một sáng kiến theo giai đoạn trong 12 tháng được lên kế hoạch cẩn thận.

When managing your DeFi activity, you likely assume your information is securely hidden. Most people naturally believe that their individual trades, overall strategy, and exact wallet balance remain completely private from the public eye.

The actual reality of who can see your data is quite different. Your financial movements are often fully visible to MEV Bots scanning the network, your market competitors, and sometimes even that one curious exchange employee.

Because of this unwanted transparency, traders frequently experience frustrating consequences. When your information is exposed, you run a high risk of being front-ran, falling victim to a sandwich attack, or having your hard-earned strategy completely copied trade for trade.

Thankfully, there is a clear fix for these systemic privacy issues. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of Confidential Compute and ZK Proofs, Horizen provides the necessary infrastructure to keep your transactions genuinely secure and protected from unwanted observers.
