Just as Bitcoin is designed as peer-to-peer money, Zen Protocol is designed for peer-to-peer trade, giving you total control over your financial assets. Zen is built from the ground up to help developers write fast, scalable and reliable smart contracts. Our language, ZF*, makes advanced security techniques like formal verification natural to use. Contracts can also react to events on the Bitcoin blockchain – meaning that Bitcoiners can use Zen’s financial system without third parties or intermediaries.
