Would deff recommend!

Freedom Dollar (fUSD) — the private, decentralized stablecoin native to ZanoFreedomDollar just added a groundbreaking bridge to their website between $USDT, $USDC, and $fUSD.
Fees from USDT to fUSD are just 0.265%, and back from fUSD to USDT are just 0.155%.
Ethereum, Tron, and Zano networks available.
Has anyone tried it out yet?

You can now swap $ZANO on Mistex! 🔄Mistex.io is a privacy-focused instant exchange built for fast, simple crypto swaps without unnecessary exposure. The platform does not require KYC or registration and do not keep user activity logs, so users can swap assets with fewer data trails. For stronger network privacy, Mistex also provides a Tor v3 mirror. On top of that, the website includes an encrypted in-house online chat, giving users support without relying on third-party tracking widgets.

Zano's Updated RoadmapWe've updated the Zano roadmap to reflect where the project actually stands and what's coming next.
The key addition: the Zano Execution Layer.
An EVM sidechain that brings smart contracts to Zano, with bridged $ZANO as the native gas coin. Standard Solidity contracts and tooling run unmodified. Hardhat, Foundry, MetaMask, and audited contract libraries all work from day one, so developers can build on Zano with the stack they already know.
That opens the door to lending markets, AMMs, and yield for $ZANO and Confidential Assets like $fUSD inside the Zano ecosystem, not only on external chains. Every contract interaction requires $ZANO for gas.
Check out the full updated roadmap below.

Bitcoin.com Covers the Zenith Upgrade -
First thoughts on Zenith?Curious to hear the community's thoughts on Zenith, the new consensus that was just announced and will go live later with hard fork 7.

Introducing Zenith: Zano's move to pure Proof of Stake@tommycat Yes, that's the hard fork that comes up after hard fork 6, which introduces Gateway Addresses.

Introducing Zenith: Zano's move to pure Proof of StakeIntroducing Zenith: Zano's move to pure Proof of Stake.

A new consensus protocol, built on the privacy foundations of Zarcanum.This isn't a pivot. It's where a road that started in 2013 finally converged. Every attempt to improve our hybrid model kept hitting the same wall: the PoW component. So we changed the question: what does the network look like if that interaction just isn't there?
Zenith is the result of more than 13 years of research into how a network can gain the benefits of modern Proof of Stake while preserving the privacy that users expect from Zano.
What changes after hard fork 7:
Block time speeds of ~15 seconds, down from one minute
4 to 6 block confirmations instead of the current 10, carrying stronger security guarantees than the 10 we wait for today
Typical TX confirmation in 60 to 90 seconds, down from an average of 10 minutes
Ephemeral blocks keep history light, so more blocks does not mean a heavier chain
PoW emission gone, 21,600 $ZANO a month that no longer gets partially sold by miners
Staking stays private, amounts hidden, no permanent link between your outputs and youRead the full breakdown here: https://x.com/zano_project/status/2077755195962863673
