Horizen (@horizenglobal) — Twitter Score 78 out of 1000

Horizen is a privacy-first, compliance-aware EVM Layer 3 blockchain built on Base, co-founded by Rob Viglione and Rolf Versluis. Horizen's Twitter Score is 78 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of October 2026, ranking #10,294 (top 5%) among 492,934 tracked accounts.

Horizen originated as ZenCash, launched via a fork of ZClassic, before rebranding to its current name in August 2018. The project has since shifted its architecture substantially, removing its legacy shielded pool in 2024 following governance changes aimed at reducing regulatory exposure. The ZEN token migrated to Base as an ERC-20 asset on July 23, 2025 at a 1:1 claim ratio, and the new mainnet on Base launched in December 2025, completing the transition to an EVM-native Layer 3. Earlier, in September 2022, Huobi delisted ZEN alongside several other privacy-featured assets, citing compliance with financial regulations.

Horizen operates alongside several affiliated entities, including Horizen DAO, The Horizen Foundation, and Horizen Labs. It is also a member of LF Decentralized Trust and is backed by Grayscale Horizen Trust (ZEN). Horizen has accumulated 221,786 followers as of October 2026 across 13,839 posts. The account has been mentioned by 360 accounts, with 1,579 total mentions.
