Zano Deploys Hard Fork 6 to Connect Privacy Network With Major Blockchains
Privacy-focused blockchain Zano has launched Hard Fork 6, introducing Gateway Addresses and non-custodial cross-chain bridges.
Privacy network Zano has completed its largest upgrade to date with the activation of Hard Fork 6 at block 3,833,000. The release deploys Gateway Addresses, designed to enhance compatibility with decentralized exchanges, centralized platforms, and interoperability protocols.
The upgrade allows native ZANO tokens to bridge non-custodially to public ledgers, including Ethereum, Solana, and TON. This bridges confidential assets into broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems without compromising base-layer privacy guarantees.
By facilitating compliant cross-chain interactions, the hard fork addresses liquidity bottlenecks that traditionally affect privacy-centric chains. It provides infrastructure for decentralized liquidity pools to integrate confidential transactions smoothly.
Key takeaways
- Zano successfully activated Hard Fork 6 at block 3,833,000.
- The upgrade deploys Gateway Addresses for DEX and exchange integrations.
- Non-custodial bridging is now supported to Ethereum, Solana, and TON.
