Everything Private.

By Default.

Hold, stake, trade, build, and create tokens as private as ZANO itself. Confidentiality is enforced by the protocol.

Our Mission

No surveillance. No intermediaries. No compromise. Zano is a decentralized blockchain where anyone can transact, store value, and issue confidential assets without giving up control.

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 even asset types are hidden on every transaction. Enforced by the protocol, not opt-in.

Secure

Hybrid PoW + PoS consensus. Attacking Zano requires both hashpower and stake. No single vector is enough.

Decentralized

No minimum stake. No permission needed. Anyone can mine, stake, or run a full node from day one.

Uncensorable

When transactions are invisible, they can't be blocked, reversed, or selectively enforced. Privacy enables freedom.

Fungible

No coin is tainted. No blacklists. Hidden transaction history makes every ZANO identical.

Flexible

Issue private tokens, swap assets peer-to-peer, use human-readable aliases, build marketplaces with escrow. All native to the protocol.

The Zano Ecosystem

12 applications built on Zano: DEX trading, stablecoins, NFTs, messaging, merchant payments, and more.

Zano Trade

Swap any asset privately, peer-to-peer, with no middleman. Ionic Swaps settle atomically on-chain.

FUSD

A private stablecoin. Send dollars without anyone knowing how much, to whom, or when.
