Zano Reverts Blockchain to Address Gateway Address Vulnerability
- Zano has rolled back its blockchain to block 3,833,000, erasing about a month of transactions.
- The rollback was initiated due to unauthorized ZANO and Freedom Dollar (fUSD) entering circulation through a vulnerability in Gateway Addresses.
- This recovery process requires updates from nodes, miners, stakers, and exchanges to restore the blockchain’s integrity.
- Transactions made during the affected month will no longer be valid on the recovered chain.
- Zano’s head of marketing stated that failing to act would have diluted the supply and trust in the currency.
The rollback aims to restore the fixed supply promise of ZANO and prevent further exploitation of the vulnerability linked to Gateway Addresses, which were designed for easier integration with exchanges and services.
By reverting to block 3,833,000, Zano seeks to rebuild trust while addressing unauthorized tokens that compromised its ecosystem.
