We'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.
Zano just passed block 3,833,000 and yet another huge upgrade is now active on mainnet.
What changes:
Gateway Addresses are live. Services like exchanges and bridges can now integrate Zano by reading a single account balance, instead of scanning the whole chain and rebuilding it from scattered outputs
Registration is permissionless. Any service can set one up without asking anyone, and every registration burns 100 $ZANO
Stronger consensus: tighter validation rules and a more decisive fork-choice rule
Per-output payment IDs, so services can match deposits to the right account with recipient privacy intact
And what doesn't change: your wallet is exactly as private as it was yesterday. Gateway Addresses are built for services, not for everyday users.
If you haven't updated your wallet yet, do it now at zano.org/wallets. An old version won't follow the new chain.
The hardest barrier to Zano adoption just came down.
The work now moves to getting exchanges, bridges, and other services actually integrated. That part starts today.
