This marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Horizen ecosystem, setting the stage for long-term growth and stability, aligning the network’s financial model with its long-term vision of becoming a leader in the zk space. This change is part of Horizen’s larger goal to enhance its ecosystem for decentralized applications, particularly those utilizing zero-knowledge technology. These tokenomics changes address the distribution of remaining ZEN tokens, vesting schedules, and reward systems to ensure sustainable growth, network security, and incentivization for ecosystem participants. Here’s a summary of the new tokenomics for $ZEN: ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/99b72d5c28850ea7177b7626a3f43572821437e1deb1ecc5edf9e9a0ee53ccee.jpg) Learn more about the implemented changes and what they mean for the Horizen Ecosystem in our [blog post](https://mirror.xyz/0xF4D306be0E45E78bfE29588Bd018fe9CE405a62d/BXXcH1J4sgq8jbXimSX_OYo-WoPFI3mdIjfviSPh5jA): [https://mirror.xyz/0xF4D306be0E45E78bfE29588Bd018fe9CE405a62d/BXXcH1J4sgq8jbXimSX\_OYo-WoPFI3mdIjfviSPh5jA](https://mirror.xyz/0xF4D306be0E45E78bfE29588Bd018fe9CE405a62d/BXXcH1J4sgq8jbXimSX_OYo-WoPFI3mdIjfviSPh5jA) 2nd and Final ZEN Halving ------------------------- On December 12, 2024, Horizen reached a major milestone with its final halving event before a groundbreaking transition in its tokenomics.
