Zen Protocol was founded by Adam Perlow as a standalone chain with its own consensus mechanism, mining incentives, and transaction format. The protocol is written from scratch in F# and uses the ZF* contracting language, built on top of the F* proof system, combining a UTXO architecture with programmable smart contracts. A distinctive feature is that Zen contracts can observe events on Bitcoin directly, with Zen nodes tracking Bitcoin consensus by processing Bitcoin block headers.

Per CoinDesk's Q4 2017 State of Blockchain report, the ICO was dated December 24, 2017 and recorded a round figure of $46.37 million. The protocol's native token is ZP, and the project is unrelated to Horizen, the separate project formerly known as ZenCash that uses the ticker ZEN.
