Horizen Holders Face November 4 Bridge Cutoff Before L3 Wind-Down
Summary
Horizen is winding down its layer-three network, with the bridge closing November 4 at 13:00 UTC. Users should follow asset-specific migration instructions and confirm transfers are complete on the receiving network. A later DAO recovery process covers ZEN and qualifying ETH balances, but excludes USDC.e and has special rules for smart-contract wallets and minimum ETH balances. The accelerated transition follows compatibility issues tied to Base’s Denim upgrade. The cutoff and recovery terms mean holders should check official notices rather than assume all assets will transfer or be recovered automatically.
