#隐私技术解决方案 I need to be cautious when seeing the Horizen project. It's an old project from 2017, with a name change, a restart, and issuing coins—I've seen this trap too many times.

Let’s be clear, there is nothing wrong with the privacy track itself, but such projects are the most likely to be used as tools for "cutting leeks." How many privacy coin projects in history have raised money under the guise of innovation, and what was the result? The liquidity of the tokens is concerning, and there are zero real application scenarios.

Horizen now claims to be working on a "compliant and feasible" privacy solution, shifting to Layer 3 to restart on Base - sounds quite respectable. But what do I need to see? Are real users involved? Are there genuine applications in the ecosystem rather than just empty promises? Who eventually benefited from that 100 million ZEN developer funding program?

A key reminder: the more a project emphasizes "compliance" and "institutional support," the more vigilant you should be. This is often a tactic for packaging scams. Infrastructure collaborations like LayerZero and Stork may sound impressive, but that does not mean the project itself has value.

My suggestion is that if you must pay attention to these types of projects, first ask yourself three questions: Is there real trading volume? Are there real users besides investors? Is the founding team's track record clear? If you can't answer these, then don't get involved. This is the most expensive lesson I've learned after years of losses.
