$ZEN Horizen is bringing something interesting and important to the Web3 ecosystem, focusing on ZK proof verification and settlement, significantly reducing costs and improving rollups efficiency.

Currently, Horizen is focused on revolutionizing the security and cost framework for future blockchains.

As blockchain networks expand, so do the fees for proof verification. Existing blockchains, such as Ethereum, suffer from congestion due to huge demand, resulting in an inefficient proof verification process that results in rising costs and unpredictability.

In this way, ZK-Rollups can replace Ethereum's computationally intensive ZK validity proof verification with a simplified process, as Horizen's system demonstrates.

This means that Horizen is specifically designed for validating proofs from various blockchains across different stacks.

Its main function is to generate proofs which can then be confirmed on any settlement layer.

This approach significantly reduces the costs associated with proof verification while ensuring a more consistent and predictable process.
