Zano's Hard Fork Set to Boost Accessibility and Adoption

Zano, a cryptocurrency network focused on strong transaction privacy, is set to become more accessible to other parts of the crypto ecosystem. The network's sixth hard fork, known as HF6, will activate at block 3,833,000 between August 25 and 27, 2026.

The upgrade introduces Gateway Addresses, a new account-based address type that allows services to track balances and sync with native ZANO and Confidential Assets. This makes it easier for platforms like exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and bridges to integrate with the network using standard workflows.

Zano's Head of Growth, Quinten van Welzen, believes this upgrade could significantly boost adoption. 'Hard Fork 6 could make a real difference for Zano's adoption as it opens an easier path for ZANO into DeFi liquidity pools and broader exchange listings.'
