Zano Forum

At Common S3nse Amsterdam, blockchain researcher Odysseas Sofikitis from Common Prefix presented “Zenith: Zano’s Path to Pure Proof of Stake.” Odysseas is a PhD candidate at NTUA and specializes in consensus protocols, Byzantine fault tolerance, accountability and blockchain interoperability. In the presentation, he explores blockchain security, Proof of Stake, privacy-preserving protocols, and how these ideas come together in Zano’s upcoming Zenith upgrade. A great watch for anyone who wants a deeper technical understanding of Zano’s move toward pure Proof of Stake. Watch the full presentation here: https://youtu.be/fPYeR56m0pE

Want to get started with Zano and actually use it in the real world? During Common S3nse 2026 in Amsterdam, Ronne van Rijn hosted a workshop focused on onboarding new users into the Zano ecosystem and showing how to start using Zano in practice. A great watch for anyone new to Zano or looking for a simple introduction to the ecosystem. Watch the full workshop here: https://youtu.be/YRxsTKUVmOA!

Apakah ada cara untuk mencairkan fUSD atau Zano menjadi Rupiah, misalnya ke OVO?

CoinEx to Cease Operations and Begin an Orderly Wind-Down Sadly, we just heard that CoinEx is shutting down. It has been a great and reliable exchange for Zano for many years. Trading stops on: 29th September Withdrawal deadline: 22nd December Please withdraw your assets as soon as possible to your self-custody wallet.

CoinMarketCap recently published a new overview explaining what Zano is and how the network works. The article highlights Zano’s privacy-by-default approach, Confidential Assets, fUSD, Zano Trade, and the upcoming transition to Zenith. It also describes Zano as more than just a privacy coin, a foundation for a broader private digital economy. A good introduction for anyone wanting to learn more about the project.

CoinGabbar recently published an overview of the Zano roadmap and some of the biggest developments ahead. The article covers key milestones such as: Zenith and the move to pure Proof of Stake The Zano Execution Layer Wallet improvements Privacy and networking upgrades Hardware wallet support, multisig and dynamic fees A nice overview for anyone who wants to see where Zano development is heading next.

Privacy shouldn't stop at the native coin. Vini Barbosa recently published a great deep dive into one of Zano's biggest competitive advantages: Confidential Assets. Unlike tokens built on transparent smart-contract networks, assets created on Zano are native to the protocol and can benefit from the same privacy infrastructure as $ZANO itself. This means Zano isn't limited to private transfers of one coin. The network can support an entire ecosystem of private assets. The article takes a closer look at: What Zano Confidential Assets are How anyone can create an asset on Zano Why sharing a large anonymity set matters How asset information can remain confidential Real-world examples such as fUSD What Confidential Assets could enable as the Zano ecosystem continues to expand Where this technology could go as more infrastructure is built around Zano This is an important distinction when talking about Zano as a privacy ecosystem rather than simply another privacy coin. Private money is one thing. Private stablecoins, tokens and other assets operating on the same network open up a much larger design space. Great article by @vinibarbosabr for anyone who wants to understand this part of Zano in more detail.

Very slick on both sites. Is there a PDF available of the posting on X?

August was a major month for Zano. Hard Fork 6 officially went live, bringing Gateway Addresses and major protocol improvements to mainnet, while the Zano Execution Layer moved into a unified testnet configuration. We also saw new ecosystem integrations, continued wallet and infrastructure upgrades, progress on Zano Quest, and plenty of community activity. The latest monthly update covers everything that happened across development, integrations, events, community growth, and what’s coming next.

@Ruroni99 Yeah similar spirit to RetoSwap but different mechanics. Here the escrow would be a contract, and the arbitrators never have any path to the money at all. They hold no keys, they only vote on the outcome and earn a separate dispute fee, and the contract itself pays out based on the vote. It's also general purpose digital escrow (paying for work, AI agent tasks, P2P trades where one leg is off chain) rather than being built around fiat to crypto swaps specifically. There's no special validator, arbitrators are just people who register by posting a stake, and a small panel of them votes if a dispute happens. If they go silent, anyone can void the deal after a timeout and both sides take their own funds back, so nobody is trusted to stay online. On ZEL the chain's own validators would play no special role beyond running the chain. Previous build is on Beam. It's a shader contract live on their mainnet with a dapp in the Beam dapp store, so the ZEL version would be a Solidity port of a design that already runs, not a from scratch experiment. seems AI agents are using escrows a fair amount lately, so it be cool to build one for Zano

Update - @zanox refunded me! It took a while but I am very pleased and can confirm the team and the project are legit. Thanks @zanox.io and @zanox

Exolix has relisted Zano, and Zano swaps are working normally.

I'm curious if there are any places still connected to trade BTCx and Zano.

@ketone-0 working on it

@kwibs 0.265% in and 0.155% out is solid. I haven't tried it yet though. Are those fixed rates or do they adjust based on pool depth at the time of swap?

Bitcoin.com covering HF6 is a nice development. Now that it’s live, it’ll be interesting to see how the new infrastructure gets used across exchanges and other platforms.

Hahaha. Thanks to the brain behind that idea.
