“Zendoo unleashes the potential of blockchains to scale via the creation of multiple parallel networks that operate independently and can be customized for speed, privacy preservation, and consensus.” Horizen’s Director of Engineering, Alberto Garoffolo Developers can now join projects like Celsius, GameStation, and more by custom-building private or public blockchains on Horizen’s zero-knowledge-enabled blockchain network. This year, we launched both our production environment testnet deployment of Zendoo and the mainnet deployment just two months later! Zendoo is now open to everyone. We also released zkAudit, the first and only fully decentralized and privacy-enabled audit (proof of reserve) blockchain that doesn’t require any third-party validators. With Zendoo, developers can custom build their own highly scalable and secure private or public blockchains.
In 2021, we launched the cross-chain protocol Zendoo on the mainnet. We appreciate everyone that joined us at our events to meet our team and learn about our technology. Our team participated in events and talks, both online and in-person, to spread the word about Horizen and engage with the Horizen community across the globe. Our website saw an increase of traffic of over 37% total with the largest increase of traffic on HEAP, which increased 247%! We are excited to welcome new developers and people interested in testing the latest Horizen releases. We also saw the emergence of the ZenArmy on Twitter and other social groups! They are a group of Horizen fans who help spread the word about ZEN.Ī member of Horizen Korea Community tattooed himself as an expression of his willingness to be with #Horizen for the rest of his life. This year, our communities grew by over 130,000 followers on Twitter alone. The 4th quarter was our best quarter yet, with our Zendoo mainnet launch and partnerships boosting the growth and excitement of our community! We are launching ourselves into 2022 with exciting new partnerships coming out soon, but let’s take a look at what we did in 2021. We navigated the complexities of zero-knowledge proof cryptography to invent Zendoo, an entirely new method of assembling blockchains to achieve horizontal scalability while maintaining the highest level of security, privacy, and decentralization.Īs we push the boundaries of what is possible for decentralization with Zendoo, we are going into 2022 with a passionate and excited community and team and a handful of exciting partnerships to announce. Zendoo is the culmination of three years of the Horizen team’s hard work to redefine what it means to achieve blockchain scalability. The Adopt-a-Kollel partnerships have come to think of each other as family, as they invite one another to simchas and share special request for tefillos.2021 was a special year as we successfully released Zendoo to mainnet and began welcoming a wide range of projects into our ecosystem to begin building on Horizen. The connection develops into a two way relationship - avreichim in the Kollel send letters and Divrei Torah to their supporters oftentimes, the Rosh Kollel visits the supporting Kehilla, providing an uplifting experience for the kehillah.Īt the same time, many kehilla members visit their Kollelim in Eretz Yisroel and are inspired by the commitment and mesiras nefesh of those who are toiling in Limud Hatorah. The heartfelt response and enthusiastic participation in Adopt–a-Kollel have done more than just provide monetary assistance.Įach partnership is further enhanced by the personal connections developed between the Kehillas and their respective Kollelim. The warm response and dedicated efforts of communities across the globe have made a true difference in bringing relief to Bnei Torah and their families. Participation in Adopt-a-Kollel puts you at the forefront of taking real, positive action to assist our brothers in Eretz Yisroel.
