ZenNodes
Bringing the most robust and resilience blockchain infrastructure
The largest node network with a multi-tiered node system in the industryHorizen’s massive and geographically dispersed node network improves the scalability, reliability, security and speed of the network. Horizen’s node infrastructure supports the public main blockchain and all sidechains would be more succinct.
