Devcon in Mumbai (Horizen participation)

Horizen will take part in Devcon in Mumbai, India, from November 3 to 6, 2026. The team plans to be available to speak with developers working on private DeFi, protocols and applications; the event involves the project's ZEN coin.

What is happening

Horizen announced on October 13, 2026 via its official X account that it is heading to Devcon in Mumbai for the four days from November 3 to 6. The post invites anyone building private DeFi or other protocols and apps to come and talk with the team.

The announcement says that further event details will be published soon. At this stage, no specific sessions, talks, booth locations or meeting formats have been disclosed, so the nature of Horizen's presence beyond team availability remains to be clarified.

Horizen describes itself as a zero-knowledge-enabled network of blockchains. Its interoperability layer, the Zendoo protocol, relies on SNARK verification and allows flexibility in sidechain type, consensus, speed and privacy. Developers can deploy their own chains using SDKs such as Blaze and Latus, and EVM integration for Ethereum smart contract compatibility is listed among upcoming SDKs. The native ZEN coin can be staked to participate in the network.

Why it matters

Developer conferences are a common place for blockchain projects to meet builders, present their technology and discuss integrations. Horizen's explicit focus on private DeFi suggests the team intends to use the event to engage developers interested in privacy-oriented applications, which is the area it is highlighting in its announcement.

For ZEN holders and traders, the event is a scheduled point to watch for follow-up information, such as the promised event details, any partnerships or developer initiatives mentioned during the week, and further updates on the EVM-compatible tooling. The announcement itself contains no product launches or token-related changes, so any concrete news would depend on what the team publishes before or during the conference.
