About

A wiki for everything related to Horizen design and implementation.

This repository is a fork of Zcash which contains protocol changes to support the Zerocash protocol. This implements the Horizen cryptocurrency, which maintains a separate ledger from the Bitcoin network, for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that the consensus protocol is different.
