Zen is a platform for secure communications and for deniable economic activity. Zen is an evolution of the Zclassic codebase aimed at primarily enabling intriniscally secure communications and resilient networking.
This software is the Zen client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zen transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
See important security warnings in doc/security-warnings.md.
Zen is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
