Zano Hard Fork 6 Enhances Integration and Security
- Zano’s Hard Fork 6 activated at block 3,833,000 on August 31, marking the largest upgrade in its seven-year history.
- The upgrade introduces Gateway Addresses to facilitate integration with exchanges, DEXs, and bridges while maintaining privacy.
- Native $ZANO can now non-custodially bridge to transparent chains like Ethereum and Solana, regaining privacy when bridged back.
- Security enhancements include stronger consensus rules, improved wallet encryption, and anti-DoS measures.
- The hard fork is a prerequisite for the upcoming Zano Execution Layer (ZEL), an EVM-compatible chain for smart contracts.
Zano’s Hard Fork 6 significantly improves network integration capabilities by introducing Gateway Addresses and enabling cross-chain bridging for native $ZANO assets. These changes enhance Zano’s accessibility to broader exchange markets while maintaining its core privacy features.
