<![CDATA[What Brought You to Zano?]]>Everyone discovers Zano in a different way. Some people were looking for stronger privacy, while others became interested through confidential assets, staking, or the wider ecosystem.

What first introduced you to Zano, and what convinced you to stay involved?

Share your story below, I am very curious!

I was heavily influenced by a well know social commentator at the time and naively bought into the project during a period when it was being heavily pumped up. I subsequently lost quite a bit when it fell back to earth*.

After this experience I vowed to do my own research and not blindly follow others. In 2021 I ran across Zano, read about the development team, the tech involved and its mission and decided this was for me. So I invested what I had left into the project. My (private) stake has subsequently grown some, but more importantly I am really impressed with all the developments that have occurred e.g. Zarcanum etc, as it strives to fulfil its promise as a privacy by default layer 1 designed to support a private ecosystem and all this can offer beyond mere digital cash.

  • I still believe Pirate Chain is an excellent project founded on excellent privacy tech and such (privacy) projects need to be supported.
