How Zero Knowledge Proofs Change the Narrative Around Privacy
summary
Horizon describes a working stack: a zendoo interoperability protocol live on mainnet since December that links chains for horizontal scalability and aims for thousands of parallel chains, an EVM integration, and a no‑code token mint in 15 minutes with upcoming private‑minting ZK modules. A concrete product, ZK Audit, replays Bitcoin transactions onto a sidechain with snarkified Bitcoin blockchain curves to provide real‑time proof‑of‑reserves (POC done with Celsius), claiming verifiable custody without leaking data.
