[video] The problem with living on privacy coins has always been spending them on everyday things like groceries, dinners, or a night out. #ZANO and #fUSD are now live on @Zebec_HQ. Top up your card and spend privately, instantly, with no on-chain trail. Private by default, spendable

[image] The partnership with @Zebec_HQ got a lot of attention at Common S3nse last weekend. @ZenecaDiMarco led a workshop on getting started with Zano and how to actually use it in the real world, and @ZebecCards was a big part of that. Zano is already one of the most-used chains on

[text] Update on the Gateway Address vulnerability The network is stable. The team is working on a process to recover affected balances. ZANO supply and emission will remain unchanged. Funding will come from the dev fund, team members’ personal funds, and contributors who have

[video] Starknet launched strkBTC as "private Bitcoin." The reality? Viewing keys are registered through a third-party auditing entity (backdoor), the bridge requires custodians (centralized), and privacy is a toggle switch (optional). Compare this to Zano's private Bitcoin ( $BTCx) via

[video] You hold crypto privately, then spend it and expose everything. @ZebecCards closes that gap. Top up the Zebec Card directly with $ZANO or $fUSD, and tap to pay anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Private money, finally spendable in the real world. 🔒

[image] Zano turns 7 today! 🎂 In 2019, we launched with one mission: make financial privacy the default, not a feature. No opt-in. No compromise. No exceptions. Seven years later, here's what that actually looks like: 🔹Zarcanum: the world's first Proof of Stake consensus with hidden

[video] Zcash is transparent by default, with a shielded pool you can opt into. Zano flips that. Everything stays private by default, and with Gateway Addresses, exchanges, bridges and other services can opt into a transparent address type when they need one. Which means you never have

[image] We've updated the Zano roadmap to reflect where the project actually stands and what's coming next. The key addition: the Zano Execution Layer. An EVM sidechain that brings smart contracts to Zano, with bridged $ZANO as the native gas coin. Standard Solidity contracts and

[text] What's actually stopping you from spending $ZANO or $fUSD in the real world?

[image] Privacy coins keep getting delisted, and that has been Zano's accessibility problem for years. Wrapped $ZANO doesn't carry that baggage. Buy it wherever it's easiest, whether that's a Uniswap pool, the Coinbase app, or a centralized exchange. Then withdraw it to your own wallet

[text] The trade-off between privacy and DeFi access is finally ending. 🔹 Bridge $ETH into Zano as $ETHx through @Bridgeless_com 🔹 Trade it privately on the Zano Trade DEX with hidden amounts, addresses, and asset types 🔹 Spend $ETHx through the @BitcoinCom POS at brick-and-mortar

[image] Getting $ZANO has always depended on which exchanges serve your country. If the big ones skip where you live, or pulled out of it, you're left hunting for a workaround. The Zano Execution Layer (ZEL) opens three new routes: 🔹 Wrapped $ZANO on Ethereum, tradeable in any Uniswap

[text] How recovery of affected balances will work The team is working on a process to recover affected balances in full. ZANO supply and emission will remain unchanged. Funding comes from the dev fund, team members' personal funds, and contributors who have committed support. Most

[video] US exchanges are quietly delisting privacy coins. Coinbase won't list new ones. Kraken delisted Monero in Europe. Gemini pulled them without warning. So how do you get $ZANO in the US? In the @BitcoinCom Wallet. Buy a supported asset with your card or bank transfer, then swap

[text] No privacy = no adoption. No serious business will put its entire financial activity on a public ledger. No individual wants their net worth visible to anyone with an internet connection. Mass adoption requires privacy as its foundation. 🔒

[video] In case you missed it: Governance on Zano is decided by stakers, and no one can see how you voted. Every staker gets to vote yes, no, or abstain. Everyone sees the outcome, no one sees your choice. 🔒

[video] With Confidential Assets, every token on Zano inherits the same privacy as $ZANO. Hidden amounts, hidden addresses, and the asset type itself is hidden too. A stablecoin like fUSD and a wrapped asset like BTCx are indistinguishable from each other on-chain. Anyone can issue one

[text] "I have nothing to hide" holds up until your balance is public and tied to your name. Then it becomes "I have everything to lose." We seal letters in envelopes. Not because we're hiding something, but because it's nobody else's business. Financial privacy is exactly the same.
