Horizon Genesis Testnet
The first phase of the Horizon Genesis Testnet launch is complete.
The migration of code and smart contracts from the Ethereum chain to the Binance Smart Chain has been successful. Now we move forward to test the functionality and user interface of the Horizon Genesis dApp. At this time, the current front-end features available on the Horizon Genesis dApp are minting, burning and claiming. You will be able to mint zUSD by staking HZN and thereby incurring a debt that’s maintained by a collateralization ratio. Burning zUSD in effect repays debt and allows for reclaiming of HZN or managing the collateralization ratio. Finally, the claim feature will display the HZN staking rewards that you have earned during each weekly cycle and allow you to claim them if your target collateralization ratio has been maintained.
HZN Token Distribution
The upcoming mainnet Horizon token (HZN) launch distribution has been revised in the interest of fairness, transparency, and the strength of Horizon Protocol in the long term. The entire initial supply of 100 million HZN tokens will be 100% community mined through various staking rewards, partnerships, grants, bounties, and other rewards that can drive the Horizon Protocol ecosystem. This means there are no team or foundation allocations, and no VC pre-sales. The goal is to involve the community in the usage of these funds and to maintain absolute transparency.
