The rest of 2026 might be the most important period in Zano's history. Two hard forks. Both are equally massive.
HF6 brings Gateway Addresses:
- $ZANO unlocks cross-chain capabilities
- $wZANO unlocks exchanges and integrations that native $ZANO simply can't access due to regulations
- Native $ZANO integrations on major DEXes such as @THORChain and hopefully @near_intents
This results in better liquidity and permissionless accessibility, which protects Zano from regulatory pressure.
HF7 brings full Proof-of-Stake:
- Significantly improved network security
- ~15-20 second block times
- ~3 confirmations to respend assets
This means Zano will not only become more secure but also much faster, thereby improving the user experience. All privacy-preserving. No compromises.
They said privacy chains are slow. Not anymore.
They said they can't support tokens. Not anymore.
They said they can only be PoW. Not anymore.
This is the evolution of #CryptoNote. This is Zano.⚡️
Just tried a Dash-to-Bitcoin swap using the @Maya_Protocol.
Dash to Bitcoin in 45 seconds flat. 👀⚡️
No middlemen, no waiting, no hassles.
Only possible on a DEX because of Dash's InstantSend technology.
Only possible to have this experience in a DEX because of the Mayan wizards. 🧙♂️🇲🇽
Dash to anything in seconds. Imagine the possibilities.
.@THORChain trading could be back by mid next week. v3.19.1 ships the final fixes.
Zcash lands within weeks of restart. Monero targets July.

🚀 Is THORChain the SpaceX of DeFi?
The more I think about it, the more the comparison makes sense.
Both were written off countless times.
🔴 SpaceX had rocket after rocket explode.
🔴 Nearly went bankrupt multiple times.
🔴 Faced constant criticism from competitors, media, and experts who said it couldn’t be done.
Yet today, it launches more rockets than the rest of the world combined.
Now look at THORChain.
⚡ Multiple hacks.
⚡ Multiple crises.
⚡ Constant FUD campaigns.
⚡ Calls for its death after every setback.
⚡ Predictions of bankruptcy and collapse.
And yet…
✅ Over $100B in swap volume processed.
✅ Native cross-chain swaps without bridges.
✅ Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, XRP, TRON and more connected through one protocol.
✅ Every major crisis followed by improvements, upgrades, and stronger security.
The similarity isn’t that they never fail.
The similarity is that they fail publicly, learn quickly, and keep building while everyone else watches from the sidelines.
Most projects disappear after one major incident.
SpaceX survived because it solved problems nobody else was willing to tackle.
THORChain survives because permissionless cross-chain liquidity is one of the hardest problems in crypto.
The road has never been smooth.
But if history teaches us anything, it’s that the projects attempting the impossible often look broken right before they change the industry. 🚀⚡

.@THORChain's exploit fix is done. The restart is close.
$XMR targeted for month-end.
Stablecoin swaps might go free.

@BooneW@krakenfx Therefore, I have supported and will continue to support projects such as @THORChain . There should be no KYC and permissions in the future
When THORChain temporarily suspended its exchanges, life in crypto became boring and monotonous. I look forward to the speedy restoration of this truly decentralized chain. Perhaps now is not the best time for resentment, you should know that you are appreciated, and this is sometimes more expensive than money. After a while, this conflict will not matter much, while true decentralization will remove the shackles of the dictates of regulators and complacent censors
