ZEN is Horizen's token — a veteran privacy-chain project that migrated its ecosystem onto a Base-settled architecture after years as a standalone chain. The contract 0xf43eb8de897fbc7f2502483b2bef7bb9ea179229 is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $1.7 million of pool liquidity as of October 9, 2026.
The honest read: ZEN is a legacy-network bet in a new wrapper — the zero-knowledge lineage and once-large validator base are real, and so is the migration risk: projects that replatform are simultaneously conceding the old home couldn't hold them and asking the new one to re-rate them. Watch whether Base-era usage actually follows the token.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the scan refreshes them. Old ZEN balances on legacy addresses are a different asset — verify you're holding the Base contract.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 68.47% of ZEN's supply as of 2026-09-27 — meaningful concentration; watch whether the large accounts are pools and lockers or free wallets. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is ZEN a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, ZEN scores 75/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $1.75M and 104,768 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell ZEN, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on ZEN — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $1.75M of measured depth.
Who holds most of ZEN?
The wallet that created ZEN holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 104,768; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can ZEN's supply be inflated?
Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.
What is the ZEN contract address?
The ZEN contract address on Base is 0xf43eb8de897fbc7f2502483b2bef7bb9ea179229. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy ZEN safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if ZEN clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xf43eb8de897fbc7f2502483b2bef7bb9ea179229) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
