HF6 in Action: First Gateway Address Registered on Mainnet
-
Just over two days after HF6 activation, the first Gateway Address has been registered on mainnet.
The registration transaction was included in block 3,836,052 and contains a
gateway_address_descriptor_operation_register, with the required 100 ZANO fee:This is a small but meaningful milestone. It provides the first visible on-chain confirmation that the Gateway Address registration mechanism introduced by HF6 is operating successfully on mainnet. HF6 is not only live: its new functionality has already produced its first observable result.
Congratulations to the Zano team and everyone involved in this successful activation!

@petrex-0 Gateway Addresses are mainly intended for services that need a persistent, publicly trackable account-style address on Zano: exchanges, payment processors, gateways, automated services, and similar infrastructure.
Unlike normal private Zano addresses, a Gateway Address has directly trackable balances and visible asset/amount information, which makes accounting, deposits, withdrawals and automated integration much simpler.
The idea is not to replace Zano’s private addresses, but to add a service-oriented option for cases where public, deterministic accounting is useful.
In the future, with the right tooling and security controls, this model could also be well suited to autonomous AI agents, since they can work with directly queryable balances, deterministic accounting and automated payment flows. -
First gateway address on mainnet is a big step. What’s the next major thing we should expect from HF6?

Do we have any idea who registered this one and what they will be using it for?

@freedomswap Unfortunately, we do now.
You asked this on September 1. We did not know how to answer it at the time. We now know that this was the Gateway Address used by the attacker.
Looking back, your question was much more important than we realized then. -

Far more important that I realized as well. Such a sad situation.
