Remember Horizen? That old-school privacy-focused blockchain is making a comeback, but with a totally different playbook. They're ditching their original setup and pivoting to become a Layer 3 solution built on top of Base.

Pretty wild move for a project that's been around since the early privacy coin days. Instead of competing directly as a Layer 1 or Layer 2, they're betting on the L3 narrative and piggybacking on Base's infrastructure. Guess even veteran projects need to adapt when the market shifts.

The relaunch signals they're going all-in on scalability and modularity rather than pure privacy features. Makes you wonder if this is a smart strategic pivot or just chasing the latest buzzwords. Either way, it's interesting to see these older protocols reinventing themselves instead of fading into obscurity.
