1. Project Introduction

Zano is a privacy-first blockchain ecosystem launched in 2019. It enables fully untraceable transactions through ring signatures and stealth addresses. Following the successful Zarcanum hard fork in March 2024, Zano has now evolved to support Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) and pioneered the world’s first hidden-amount Proof of Stake algorithm. This upgrade also introduces Confidential Assets—privacy tokens that inherit the same anonymity as native ZANO. Developers can use these tokens to build privacy-focused applications without maintaining a separate blockchain or dealing with complex consensus mechanisms. Zano’s security is powered by a hybrid Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake model, enhancing resilience against attacks. This hybrid consensus also applies to Confidential Assets, maintaining full network security. Zano supports a robust ecosystem including Escrow Trades (formerly Escrow Contracts), on-chain aliases, and anonymous staking with no minimum or lock-up period. Altogether, Zano provides a powerful infrastructure for privacy, usability, and decentralized application development, making it ideal for individuals and teams building in the privacy-preserving crypto space.
