Horizen is a layer 0 public blockchain that enables the zero-knowledge network of blockchains powered by the largest node system and a massively scalable cross-chain protocol, Zendoo. The Horizen chain will become EVM-compatible through its sidechain EON. Developers will be able to build fully customizable chains, including consensus, speed, privacy and crypto-economies.

EVM is closer than you think! Horizen EON (Ethereum Open Network) will be the first public proof-of-stake and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible smart contracting sidechain. Spoiler Alert... WILL BE LAUNCHED THIS SUMMER!

The permanent public testnet Gobi went live in May and the on-chain activity grew since then. The Gobi Testnet is supported by a network of products, integrations and tools that ensures the rich capability and user-friendliness for EON developers and end users, starting since day one.

Why EON will change DeFi forever? The public proof-of-stake sidechain will be fully EVM-compatible smart contracting platform that will allow devs to efficiently build and deploy dapps on Horizen, while fully benefiting from the Ethereum ecosystem.

Gobi is the permanent public test net, and everyone interested can test it's power. The activity on Gobi grew each day, and amazing NFTs and Dapps are being created!

I received this cool NFT as soon as I joined Gobi, with a cat with a hat sitting on a star mat!

The blockchain does one thing: it replaces third-party rust with mathematical proof that something happened! - Adam Draper

Network name: Gobi Testnet
New RPC URL: https://gobi-testnet.horizenlabs.io/ethv1
Chain ID: 1663
Currency symbol: ZEN

My next stop was to claim some love! The $LOVE faucet is available for all Gobi users, claimable once per day. Taste the love, share the love, and be one of the early users of Horizen-EVM technology!

The $LOVE ecosystem keeps expanding, and more options were added to the dashboard. LOVE tokens can be bought with testnet $ZEN and staked for extra rewards. I always forget to claim my daily share of $LOVE, but still managed to claim and stake over 700 tokens. There will always be one $LOVE in the wallet, to simplify the holders count.

The expansion on Ethereum brings new partnerships, as Horizen will use Band Protocol to deliver decentralized oracle services for EON. The cross-chain data oracle platform will provide real-time price feeds and reliable data for Horizen EON.

Band Protocol’s flagship oracle solution enables Horizen EON to gain access to real-time price feeds for tokens across different chains, providing a safe and reliable source of information for EON as it builds out its DeFi, gaming and NFT ecosystem. Band Protocol is backed by strong stakeholders including Sequoia Capital and Binance.

I joined the Horizen x Band Protocol AMA and the alpha news shared was mind-blowing! By aggregating and connecting real-world data and APIs to smart contracts, Band Protocol will allow smart contract applications to be built on EON without relying on the single point of failure of a centralized oracle. This integration allows developers to enhance and extend their smart contract capabilities on EON.

“Partnering with Band Protocol is a major milestone in our mission to provide a secure and scalable ecosystem for decentralized applications. With their reliable oracle services, we can expand the possibilities for smart contracts on EON and empower developers to create innovative solutions for DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.” - Rob Viglione - Horizen Labs CEO

Horizen integrates Covalent for EON, bringing data visibility and unified data points for developers! The partnership will bring enhanced blockchain data aggregation process for developers to efficiently build on Horizen EON.

Covalent is the web3 data provider trusted by over 40,000 developers, and will bring massive data accessibility and transparency to Horizen EON. The integration of Covalent with Horizen EON will accelerate the process of achieving a permissionless, interoperable, customizable sidechain network on Horizen.

The integration with Covalent will allow developers to leverage an increasingly accelerated volume of blockchain data points to efficiently build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on Horizen EON, and also provide billions of data points and comprehensive insights into on-chain data.

Horizen and Covalent are both committed to advancing the blockchain industry and providing users with more transparent and secure solutions. This partnership is a testament to their shared vision and commitment to innovation in the web3 space.

Horizen partnered with Ankr as one of the first RPC providers for EON! This strategic partnership brings enhanced accessibility, scalability, and reliability to the rapidly growing EON ecosystem.

Ankr is a decentralized Web3 infrastructure company that provides services to more than 30 proof-of-stake chains through a top-tier global node delivery system and RPC aggregator. Handling over 2 trillion transactions annually across Web3, Ankr has established itself as the foremost infrastructure provider for blockchains like BSC, Fantom, and Polygon, and more recently, enterprise technology companies like Microsoft.

The collaboration will make Ankr one of the first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers for EON, supporting a wide range of use cases, including DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.

Through this collaboration, Ankr will also provide a suite of developer tools to help create and deploy smart contract applications on EON quickly and easily. These tools include the Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK, and AppChains As a Service, empowering dApp developers to build innovative and scalable Web3 applications on EON.

Horizen partnered with Auros to enhance liquidity for EON! Auros is a market-making and algorithmic trading firm, with experienced derivatives traders and trading system designers with over two decades of expertise.

Auros’ technological foundation fuses advanced pricing models with cutting-edge execution capabilities, ensuring reliable and consistent trading performance. The partnership is set to drive significant growth for the EON ecosystem. Enhanced liquidity for the $ZEN token across centralized and decentralized exchanges will increase opportunities for traders, DeFi users, and builders to participate in one of the fastest growing layer-0.

Punkz Hero is powered by PKZ tokens, minted on TokenMint. The game is available on PipeFlare, a play2earn crypto gaming platform, where the players can play, collect free tokens, claim airdrops and earn rewards through the referral program. More games and DeFi opportunities will become available with Horizen EON, and GameFi will bring whole communities in the Horizen extended family!

The game is one of the early members of the extended Horizen family, and the play2earn may bloom once Horizen EON will go live! Meanwhile, I am pleased to see the last Punkz article trending on the front page of Publish0x!
