As Horizen prepares to migrate ZEN to an ERC-20 token on Base, security is your first priority. Migrations are prime targets for scammers — and a few simple precautions can protect your assets.
This guide outlines the key practices to keep your ZEN safe throughout the process.
Always rely on official Horizen communication channels:
Website: horizen.io
GitHub: github.com/HorizenOfficial
Verified Socials:
There will only be one official claim portal — and it will be hosted on a horizen.io domain. Any other site is a scam.
Scammers are active during migrations. Get help from the official team when you need support.
Horizen staff will never DM you first
We will never ask for private keys or seed phrases
If you need help, use our official Discord ticketing system
Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone, ever.
You’ll sign a message on the Horizen Mainchain to prove wallet ownership
This signed proof lets you claim your ZEN as ERC-20 on Base
You are not sending your ZEN anywhere — no tokens leave your wallet until claimed
The one and only official claim portal will be on the horizen.io domain, and we will communicate the Claim Portal once it becomes active through official communication channels.
Triple-check your destination address before submitting your claim. One wrong character = permanent loss
The official claim site will never ask for seed phrases or private keys. Any site that requests this information is a scam.
If using Ledger, download the tool and run it locally, and offline for maximum security
Bookmark official sites — avoid using search engines, which can show fake links
Don’t use public Wi-Fi — always migrate using secure networks
Double-check URLs and social handles — phishing sites often use near-identical domain names
Your privacy, control, and security are core to Horizen — and this migration is no exception.
Stay vigilant, stay safe, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
