(ZANO)

Zano is an open-source cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem designed with a primary focus on enterprise-grade privacy, security, and scalability. It serves as a foundational platform for confidential assets and decentralized applications. The project was launched in 2019, evolving from Boolberry, a privacy-centric cryptocurrency that originated in 2014. Andrey Sabelnikov, a lead developer for Zano, was also instrumental in creating the original CryptoNote protocol, which underpins various privacy coins. At its core, Zano prioritizes privacy, making it a default characteristic rather than an optional feature for its transactions. This is achieved through advanced cryptographic techniques, including ring signatures and stealth addresses, which render transactions untraceable by concealing sender and receiver identities. Additionally, Bulletproofs+ technology hides transaction amounts, and data is stored on the blockchain in a way that only authorized parties can access private information. The network is secured by a hybrid Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. This mechanism combines the strengths of both approaches to enhance network security, reduce energy consumption, and provide resistance against attacks like double-spending. A significant development for Zano was the Zarcanum hardfork, implemented in March 2024. Zarcanum introduced the world's first Proof of Stake scheme that includes hidden amounts, further increasing privacy for those participating in staking. This hardfork also brought Confidential Assets to the platform. Confidential Assets allow users to create their own privacy-focused tokens on the Zano blockchain. These tokens inherit the same robust privacy features as the native Zano coin, including hidden addresses, hidden amounts, and IP obfuscation. These assets can be utilized for various applications such as private stablecoins, tokenized securities, non-fungible tokens, and confidential governance tokens. Beyond its core privacy features, the Zano ecosystem offers a range of functionalities. These include a decentralized exchange and peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading. An escrow service enables customizable, trustless contracts, providing a secure framework for transactions without intermediaries. Users can also create aliases, such as "@username", linked to their payment addresses for improved user-friendliness. The Zano Voting System allows for community participation in network decision-making. While Zano currently supports privacy-preserving escrow contracts and confidential assets that offer smart contract-like functionalities, the project is actively working towards more complex programmable Confidential Assets and a broader smart contract platform. The ZANO token is the native cryptocurrency that powers the Zano blockchain, facilitating transactions, securing the network, and enabling its advanced features. Zano was launched without a pre-mine or Initial Coin Offering, ensuring a fair distribution model. Learn more
