Everything Private.
The blockchain where transactions, assets, staking, trading, and applications are confidential by protocol design, not by option.

Our Mission
No surveillance. No intermediaries. No compromise. Zano delivers unstoppable financial privacy through a decentralized, scalable blockchain that enables anyone to transact, store value, and issue confidential assets without giving up control.
Privacy Tech Stack
Every wallet transaction passes through all five layers. None of them are optional. Hover or tap a layer to see what it protects.
What You Send
01
Stealth Addresses
Every output goes to a fresh one-time address, so your published address never appears on the chain.
01Hides Receiver
02
d/v-CLSAG Ring Signatures
Peer-Reviewed
Your input is signed alongside decoys pulled from the chain, so nobody can tell which one was actually spent.
02Hides Sender
03
Pedersen Commitments + Bulletproofs+
Amounts stay hidden inside commitments, and a stack of zero-knowledge proofs, Bulletproofs+ among them, keeps every transaction provably valid.
03Hides Amount
04
Confidential Assets
In every wallet transfer, asset identifiers are blinded, so observers can't tell ZANO from a stablecoin, wrapped BTC, or an NFT.
04Hides Asset Type
05
Zarcanum
World's first
The first proof-of-stake scheme with hidden amounts. No lock-ups and no minimum stake: your odds scale with your coins, while your balance stays sealed in a Pedersen commitment.

What the Chain Stores
Why Zano
Not just private payments. A private economy. Trade, stake, issue assets, build apps. All confidential at the protocol level.
Private-by-Default
Amounts, addresses, and asset types are hidden on every wallet transaction. You never have to switch privacy on.
Secure
ProgPoWZ mining and Zarcanum staking secure the chain together. An attacker needs both.
Decentralized
Anyone can mine, stake, or run a full node. There is no minimum stake and no approval process.
Uncensorable
Nothing in a wallet transaction identifies the parties or the amount, so there is nothing for anyone to filter on.
Fungible
Coins carry no visible history, so there is nothing to build a blacklist from. Every ZANO is interchangeable.
Flexible
Private tokens, peer-to-peer swaps, aliases, marketplaces with escrow. All native to the protocol.
Opt-in Privacy Makes You a Target
On chains where privacy is a toggle, the few who switch it on stand out. On Zano there is nothing to switch on, so using privacy says nothing about you.
Privacy as a toggle
A handful of shielded users in a transparent crowd.
Small anonymity set. Opting in is itself a signal.
Zano: Private by Default
Every wallet transaction is confidential, always.
The anonymity set is always on.
The Zano Ecosystem
More than a dozen applications run on Zano today, and every one inherits the protocol's privacy. Here are 12 of them.
