The genealogy of blockchain projects reveals interesting technical lineages. Horizen (ZEN) emerged as a fork of Zclassic, which itself branched from Zcash (ZEC). This multi-generational fork structure illustrates how privacy-focused blockchain technology has evolved and diverged, with each iteration introducing different development philosophies and feature implementations. Understanding these technical foundations helps investors and developers grasp the ecosystem's historical context.

Fork after fork, essentially it's just the same privacy technology wrapped in a different shell.

The story of the fork is well told, but the real profit still goes to those who bought in early.

There are too many forked projects. This lineage is interesting, but can it really make money?

Fork after fork, essentially it's just the internal competition among privacy coins.

Privacy coins are so complicated, it's like a family tree—forked generation after generation, who still remembers what it originally looked like?
