1. If Your ZEN Was On EON before July 23

If your ZEN is on a regular wallet (eg. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc), your ZEN should have automatically migrated to the same wallet address on Base.

Please check your wallet and ensure the ZEN balance is there.

2. If Your ZEN Is In

A Mainchain Wallet

  • Sphere Wallet
  • Ledger Wallet
  • Any third-party non-custodial wallet

Use the Claim Portal to claim ZEN now

The official claim portal is open. You can begin to claim an equivalent amount of the new ERC-20 ZEN on Base. There is no deadline, but to start using your ZEN in DeFi, migrate now.

Use your wallet to sign a message for proof of ZEN ownership.

The claim process involves using your current wallet to sign a message proving you own your ZEN. Think of it like showing your ID to pick up a registered package.

FAQs

Will the relaunch impact $ZEN holders and the $ZEN tokenomics?

$ZEN’s fixed 21 million supply will remain unchanged. While the details of an updated tokenomics are still being finalized, key considerations include:

  • Repurposing Incentives: The new tokenomics will optimize incentives and enhance utility, adoption, and long-term value.
  • Seamless Migration: Existing $ZEN balances will be migrated seamlessly to the new appchain, ensuring continuity for users.
  • Exchange Coordination: We are working closely with major exchanges (such as Binance and Coinbase) to ensure a smooth transition and continuous token support.

How will this move affect $ZEN liquidity?

Integrating into Base brings $ZEN closer to a highly liquid ecosystem, making it easier for users and developers to access and trade. Base's strong ties to Coinbase improve visibility and increase the likelihood of deeper exchange integrations and institutional support.

Will this shift to Base impact the Grayscale Horizen Trust (HZEN)?

No. Grayscale already uses Coinbase Custody for asset storage, aligning well with Horizen’s move to Base - a Coinbase-backed ecosystem. This strategic shift further strengthens ZEN’s institutional positioning and enhances its visibility within the broader Coinbase and Grayscale networks.

Will Horizen still support EVM and Solidity smart contracts?

Yes! Moving to Base ensures full EVM compatibility, making it easier for existing developers to deploy on Horizen without needing to learn a new framework.
