Leading layer0 public blockchain Horizen has announced the official mainnet launch of Horizen EON, a fully EVM-compatible smart contracting sidechain platform. Horizen EON, created and powered by Horizen, is positioned to be an important part in the web3 revolution. The mission of Horizen is to provide a permissionless, customizable, and interoperable multi-chain network that leads this sector. EON is the first among several smart contracting sidechains on Horizen that will introduce the web3 economy to the next generation of users and builders.
Why Develop on Horizen EON?
The Ethereum Open Network, or Horizen EON, is a scalable blockchain platform designed to facilitate varied and efficient dapp development. It is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, making use of the community and extensive resources of Ethereum to facilitate the simple and smooth deployment of dapps on Horizen.
Horizen has been working on Zendoo, a ZK-powered cross-chain protocol and horizontal scaling solution that enables a larger adoption of blockchain technology with complete customisation at the protocol level, while Ethereum has been spearheading the widespread use of DeFi ecosystems and smart contracts. Horizen now provides more options than ever before for the effective creation and use of a broad variety of dApps and services within its rapidly expanding ecosystem with the advent of Horizen EON.
The goal of Horizen EON is to create the next generation of Web3 developers. These are forward-thinking entrepreneurs who are keen to launch ground-breaking web3 products, but they are impeded by the drawbacks of current chains, including insufficient tools, network congestion, centralization, and a dearth of growth assistance.
Horizen EON is dedicated to building a strong ecosystem for visionaries who want to disrupt and replace the current quo. To achieve this objective, Horizen EON provides best-in-class launch and growth assistance, which includes:
Detailed toolings that guarantee smooth integrations and dapp deployment
Support for business growth
Grants, liquidity, and other resources access
In an effort to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, Horizen EON also markets itself as the new center for consumer dapps. EON’s hands-on approach to creating an ecosystem designed for daily users supports these ambitious goals. The EON platform is intended to provide builders a supportive environment that includes product support and incubation, in addition to the necessary technical infrastructure.
Wide Variety of Protocol Integrations and Partnerships Join the EON Launch
Protocols, builders, and dapps that align with the key principles of the Horizen EON ecosystem—transparency, accountability, security, community engagement, continuous growth, and social responsibility—are warmly welcomed. With so many different protocols and dapps available at launch, the EON ecosystem offers new users a dynamic ecosystem right away. Developer toolings, bridges, DeFi protocols, liquidity providers, and infrastructure necessities are some of these integrations, partners, and supporters. LayerZero, Tatum, Pyth, Band Protocol, Ankr, Third web, Stably, and many more are presently live on Horizen EON, with several more coming in the next few days, including SpookySwap, Chainalysis, and Granary.
Embracing the Revolution of Web 3.0
The foundation of Horizen EON is the concept that improving the web2 experience is a necessary step towards web3 adoption. Instead of trying to create the wheel from scratch, it aims to improve it by making sure that web3’s special features—like tokenization, authentication, and interoperability—integrate easily into apparent, user-focused applications.
EON seeks to foster creative application concepts across cutting edge sectors in order to introduce web3 to the next generation of creators and users.
Horizen invites developers, innovators, and users to become part of the Horizen EON ecosystem as the world prepares for the arrival of a new era of decentralized applications. Together, it aims to push web3 technologies into the mainstream, promote a more connected multi-chain world, and develop solutions that support users at every step of their Web3 voyage.
