Zano Forum

The team is working on a process to recover affected balances in full. ZANO supply and emission will remain unchanged. Funding comes from the dev fund, team members' personal funds, and contributors who have committed support. Most affected balances sit with exchanges and services, so recovery runs through them: Withdrawals from an exchange during the affected period (August 26 to September 27). These coins are back in the exchange's wallet on the updated chain. The exchange replays these withdrawals once it reopens. Deposits to an exchange during the affected period. The team is working directly with each exchange to cover these, so your exchange balance can be credited. Frozen MEXC accounts. We are working with MEXC to release accounts with no link to invalid transactions as quickly as possible. Card top-ups and payment services. These are settled directly between the service and the team. Payments between individuals. These are back with the sender on the updated chain. For cases that cannot be resolved this way, a process for individual users will follow. What to expect Each exchange and service checks a month of activity, transaction by transaction, before it reopens. This takes time, and doing it carefully is what prevents balances from being credited to the wrong people or twice. Each exchange announces on its own channels when it is ready. No action is needed right now. Keep your transaction IDs and records. The team will never DM you first or ask for your seed phrase.

The hotfix has been pushed and the network is stable on the updated chain. Where things are at right now: The updated mobile wallet is now live for both Android and iOS. Desktop users can download the updated wallet from http://zano.org/wallets or the official GitHub releases page. If you haven't updated yet, please do. Seed phrases are not required. Third-party wallets, exchanges and payment services all need to update their own nodes to the updated chain before they can safely process transactions again. For exchanges, these updates will determine when ZANO deposits and withdrawals reopen. We are in direct contact with them to support that work, and each of them announces on their own channels when they are ready. Please wait for each service to confirm through its official channels that it has resumed operations before sending funds. For anyone who was affected, the recovery process is being prepared. No action is needed from you at this stage, and we will publish the details once they are finalized. Thanks for your patience and support over the past days; it has meant a lot to the team. Questions are welcome on http://forum.zano.org and in our official Telegram, where you're always talking to the actual team.

ZanoX, I saw we can swap from USDT (Tron) to Zano. Means we can transfer USDT to Zano Wallet through Tron network? Then swap that USDT(Tron) to Zano straightly?

The network is stable. The team is working on a process to recover affected balances. ZANO supply and emission will remain unchanged. Funding will come from the dev fund, team members’ personal funds, and contributors who have committed support. Current priorities for the Zano core team: Recovery for affected users. We are working with partners and counterparties to verify affected activity and finalize how recoveries will be handled. No action is needed from affected users right now, and we will share clear instructions as soon as possible. Supporting exchanges and service operators. Every exchange, wallet and payment service implements the update on their own side, and we are supporting them by answering technical questions, walking through what they need and confirming their setup before they go live again. Several are already well on their way, and each one will announce when they are ready. The post-mortem. This will cover the incident, the response and the steps that follow from it, including an analysis of the Gateway Address code so that we can say with confidence what was affected and what was not. It will be published once that analysis is complete. The community's support throughout this process has been remarkable, and we’re incredibly grateful. A recovery update will follow with where things stand across wallets, services and exchanges.

Thank you. I appreciate that info!

Download and run zano-linux-x64-gui-release-v2.2.3.600[98bbd72].AppImage and it downloads then syncs then the 2 wallets I have sync and I'm short one transaction. "07/09/2026 for 8.4142494 ZANO". I have the transaction ID and date time etc. No rush just let me know when you've got the recovery process ready. Thanks

️ SCAM ALERT: Fake Zano wallet site ️ A community member has reported a fake site posing as the official Zano wallet: zanowallet[.]io It is NOT affiliated with Zano. According to the report, the site offers a Windows installer that looks almost identical to the real wallet, but running it installs a remote access trojan (RAT). This gives attackers control of your computer, including your screen, keystrokes (passwords and seed phrases), microphone, and webcam. Only download Zano wallets from: • zano.org/wallets • github.com/hyle-team/zano/releases • The official iOS App Store and Google Play listings, or the Android APK linked from zano.org Stay safe: • Type zano.org directly or use a bookmark. Don't trust search results or ads. • Verify downloads against the SHA256 hashes in our GitHub release notes. • Only whitelist zano.exe in your antivirus if it came from an official source and the hash matches. • Never share your seed phrase or enter it on a website. If you ran the installer from that site: Assume your computer is compromised. From a separate, clean device, create a new Zano wallet with a new seed phrase and move your funds immediately. Change your important passwords from that clean device too, and wipe and reinstall your operating system on the infected one. Spotted another fake site? Report it via [email protected], the Zano forum, or here in Telegram. Thanks to the user who flagged this. Please share with anyone new to Zano.

@petrex-0 it seems these prizes are set on the bitcoin.com wallet pretty sure they dont have the p2p function i tested this out today on the Zano desktop and the mobile wallet created a p2p swap got the hex, sent the hex through telegram, copied that hex for my mobile wallet that had 0 Zano (it was holding fusd) then i entered that hex into the mobile checked the amounts and confirmed the hex bingo got Zano for the mobile that had no gas now it has gas . but seems most of the prizes are on bitcoin.com so not much point in making a bot for it

Exhilarating times ahead.

Zano has published a new deep dive into one of the biggest challenges privacy projects face: making private money easy to access without compromising the privacy of the base layer. The article explains how Gateway Addresses introduced with Hard Fork 6 make integrations with protocols such as THORChain and Near Intents possible, while standard Zano addresses remain private by default. It also looks ahead to ZEL, which is designed to give $ZANO a transparent, EVM-compatible side for DeFi, deeper liquidity, bridging and easier exchange integrations — while keeping Zano L1 focused on privacy. A great read if you want to understand how Zano plans to improve accessibility without sacrificing what makes the network private in the first place.

Getting ZANO into your wallet or converting it back into another cryptocurrency does not have to mean opening an exchange account and moving funds through multiple platforms. ZanoX provides a direct way to buy and sell ZANO using supported cryptocurrencies, with the transaction settled directly to your wallet. Buying ZANO If you already hold another cryptocurrency, you can use ZanoX to convert it into ZANO. The process is straightforward: Select the cryptocurrency you want to pay with. Enter the amount. Provide your Zano wallet address. Review the live quote. Complete the swap and receive ZANO in your wallet once the transaction confirms on-chain. ZanoX currently supports buying ZANO with assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and Monero, alongside other supported currencies shown in the live selector. Selling ZANO The process also works in reverse. If you already hold ZANO and want to convert it into another cryptocurrency, select ZANO as the asset you’re selling, choose the cryptocurrency you want to receive, and provide the destination wallet address.

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. Read the full article here: https://x.com/vinibarbosabr/status/2098383362327011589?s=20 Would love to hear what use cases people would most like to see built around Confidential Assets.
