Horizen Foundation Joins zkVerify as a Validator

Horizen Foundation Joins zkVerify as a Validator

zkVerify is proud to announce that the Horizen Foundation has joined our validator set, reinforcing the security and resilience of the zkVerify network as we prepare for mainnet.Validators are the backbone of zkVerify. They ensure uptime, validate transactions, and confirm proof verification across the network. By stepping in as a validator, the Horizen Foundation brings proven expertise and long-term commitment to decentralized infrastructure—helping zkVerify deliver fast, efficient, and tamper-proof proof verification at scale.

The Role of Validators in zkVerify

zkVerify is purpose-built to handle zero-knowledge proof verification, offering projects a dedicated, cost-effective layer for proof settlement. Validators are essential to this mission, as they:

Operate validator nodes to secure the network.
Participate in consensus to confirm verification of proofs and transactions.
Earn validator rewards through network emissions and a share of zkVerify protocol revenues.

The Horizen Foundation will now contribute directly to these operations, ensuring zkVerify’s infrastructure is strong, decentralized, and reliable from day one.

Why This Partnership Matters

The addition of the Horizen Foundation to the zkVerify validator set highlights our shared commitment to sustainable ecosystem growth and decentralized governance. Their involvement strengthens confidence that zkVerify will provide developers, users, and enterprises with a proof verification layer they can depend on with Zero Doubt.

Looking Ahead

With mainnet now live and $VFY trading underway, zkVerify is expanding its validator set with trusted operators to strengthen decentralization and resilience.

The addition of the Horizen Foundation marks an important step in building the foundation for scalable proof verification that can power the next wave of zero-knowledge applications.

Together, we’re making verification efficient, scalable, and accessible for all.
