First of all, we would like to thank you for your patience and long-term support of the Zen Protocol. In this community update, we want to prepare the community for the upcoming Genesis block and future things to come. Please take a few minutes to read the update.

the Zen Protocol Genesis Block is on the Horizon

Malkuth Genesis Block

We are excited to announce that we will officially be releasing “Malkuth”, the community release of the Zen Protocol, on June 30th. This release will make all Zen Protocol Native tokens freely transferable and give you the ability to activate smart contracts with proven costs and full formal verification support.

The initial mining algorithm will be SHA-3, with Multi-Hash-Mining due for the next release, “Yesod.”

We’ll publish more information on this in upcoming updates on our various channels, Telegram, Twitter, and /r/zenprotocol over the coming weeks.

Safely Store Your Seed

To access your tokens after the launch, you will need to import your 24-word mnemonic phrase (seed) into your wallet. Please make sure that you have saved your Seed from the crowdsale. This is the only way to gain access to your tokens!

Check Your Balance

If using the same computer where you made your original purchase, you should be able to view your orders by simply visiting: https://crowdsale.zenprotocol.com.

If you want to save your public key, you can find it here.

If you are on a new computer, you can view the crowdsale wallet (balance) by entering your public key address and following the following steps:

Go to https://crowdsale.zenprotocol.com Click on the create wallet page Approve terms Click “import wallet” Paste your Public Key in the input field and click “IMPORT” Click “Claim pre-sale tokens” Click “back to wallet” (bottom left corner) You should see your orders.

Fresh Installers & Bug Bounty

If you haven’t had the opportunity yet, you can now use the current Testnet by directly downloading installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have any issues, please reach out to isaac@zenprotocol.com or reach out on telegram at @isRod.

If you find any bugs, visit our bug bounty page, where you can see known bugs and how to solve them. If you find any new bugs, you can follow the instructions for reporting a bug and receiving the reward.

Our codebase is available for viewing on Github and Gitlab. The docs have instructions, video tutorials, and Alpha page for the current testnet, as well as documentation for our custom API and SDK. You can also view the remaining open issues at https://gitlab.com/zenprotocol/zenprotocol/issues.

QA Testing and Security Audits

As we progress towards Genesis, we are taking steps to ensure a stable and secure blockchain, working with QA specialists and auditors. Specifically, we are working with Jerome Rousselot from Jita and another private auditor who specializes in formal verification and resource verification.

We also invite independent security researchers reviewing our code base to read our Responsible Disclosure policy and contact us.
