350+ coins with market caps totaling over $4 Billion are built upon the Zano developers' original CryptoNote code.

In 2021, the developers of the original CryptoNote implementation will be taking #cryptocurrency #privacy to new levels.

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.⚡️

This release is the first HF6-aware version of the wallet, with nearly a year of development behind it. With the upgrade getting closer, updating now means you'll be ready the moment it lands.

What's inside:
🔹 Gateway Addresses support
🔹 Stricter HF6 consensus rules
🔹 Intrinsic per-output payment IDs, more secure and more convenient
🔹 Hardened wallet-file encryption
🔹 Simulation mode for mining-pool block validation that blacklists bad transactions on errors

Regarding the recently published financial report on Neo’s situation, I would like to share my initial impressions. They are not positive.

Since this is presented as a preliminary report, I will avoid going into the details of specific numbers for now. My first perception is that the market did not receive it well. Neo dropped several positions on CoinMarketCap, moving from around #136 to #143.

One of the main issues is the apparent attempt to create a conceptual separation between the Neo Foundation and NGD. NGD was originally created with resources from the Foundation and was responsible for development and ecosystem operations. However, the report presents NGD almost as if it were something structurally separate.

This raises a natural question. If NGD was created entirely with resources from the Neo Foundation, why is it being treated as an independent structure when discussing assets and responsibilities?

The situation becomes even more confusing when the report raises concerns about the centralization of Foundation resources, while the resources associated with NGD appear to be controlled by a single side. The implied logic seems to be that what belongs to the Neo Foundation belongs to both founders, while what belongs to NGD belongs only to one of them.

Another issue is the nature of the document itself. The numbers are described as preliminary, there are no verifiable addresses for most of the assets, and some of the information presented is difficult to independently confirm. For anyone familiar with how transparency reports usually work in crypto, this makes the document feel closer to a public relations exercise than a proper financial disclosure.

The overall context reinforces that perception. The writing style differs significantly from previous communications and appears to be part of the same recent “PR” package that included the interview and several coordinated posts. Taken together, the tone feels more like a narrative effort than an unbiased financial report.

Another notable omission is the lack of discussion of FLM related assets and activities, despite the significant historical allocations to those initiatives.

One detail that particularly stood out was Erik’s obligation of 80 BTC to the Neo Foundation. This refers to a loan that the Foundation granted to him.

The existence of internal loans between founders and the Foundation is not necessarily unusual. What is unusual is the way this specific loan is presented.

The report explicitly highlights Erik’s obligation, while other loans appear grouped together with other lines, making it unclear to whom those loans were issued or how much is owed. At that moment the document stops feeling like a neutral financial report.

By singling out one individual obligation while leaving the rest aggregated, the report creates a clear narrative around a specific person. Whether intentional or not, this makes the section look less like financial disclosure and more like a public relations maneuver.

If Erik owes 80 BTC to the Foundation, that raises several obvious questions. What was the loan for? When was it issued? Why is it denominated in BTC when most other figures in the report are presented in USD?

More broadly, similar questions could be asked in the opposite direction. How much does NGD owe to the Neo Foundation, considering that NGD itself was created using Foundation resources? Have any funds flowed the other way that should also be accounted for?

Another element that contributes to the tension is the asymmetry of transparency. Erik’s addresses and holdings are public and easily verifiable on chain, while NGD’s financial structures, investments, and accounts remain private. At the same time, the report suggests that NGD holds a large portion of the ecosystem’s resources, including assets with significant liquidity such as stablecoins and Bitcoin.

This creates a situation in which one side of the dispute is fully transparent, while the other controls a large amount of liquid assets that cannot be independently verified. Even if there are legitimate reasons for this structure, the way it is currently presented raises concerns.

After reading the report, the overall atmosphere around Neo feels somewhat sad. The market reaction was likely negative because many people realized that this was not a serious transparency document. It reads less like an effort to inform the community and more like an attempt to establish a narrative.

[OrsonJ @Cryptoschild]

@snakey_rob @dahongfei @GrabowskiDylan I would appreciate a direct response to this @dahongfei.

Low liquidity on Flamingo is due to low $FLM price.
Low $FLM price is mainly due to the @binance delisting.

It's the main dApp on @Neo_blockchain and NF/NGD are early investors in Binance. How was this allowed to happen?

[OrsonJ @Cryptoschild]

@lockyer83 @erikzhang The bot is not the problem. The problem is a group that supposedly has 19 thousand members is so locked down that the only posts over the last 12 hours were made by this bot.
That is not the sign of a healthy vibrant community.

[OrsonJ @Cryptoschild]

@erikzhang @rileyellett @erikzhang is that really a satisfying response? A community member is muted for 24 hours for (respectfully) expressing an opinion?
Auto mod may have taken the action, but it's configured by the group admins.

[OrsonJ @Cryptoschild]

@rileyellett @erikzhang And what rule did that message break?

[Erik Zhang @erikzhang]

The core issue is not that the community lacks information—it is that, in reality, no one knows.
All Neo Foundation (NF) assets other than NEO/GAS have long been under the sole control of @dahongfei, with no complete, verifiable, or auditable financial disclosure to the community or any independent party.
No one knows how much remains, nor how, to whom, or under what governance those funds have been spent. This is a total black box.
NEO/GAS were not transferred into his personal custody precisely to prevent them from being absorbed into this same opaque structure.
This is not about power—it is about minimum risk containment.
Put plainly:
Had NEO/GAS also been placed under @dahongfei's personal control, the consequences for Neo would have been catastrophic.

[Erik Zhang @erikzhang]

Given that @dahongfei has not honored his commitments to date—having neither issued any formal public statement nor disclosed the relevant financial reports to the community—I am compelled to issue this statement unilaterally in order to uphold transparency and accountability.
According to the clear agreement reached during our most recent phone call, effective January 1, 2026, @dahongfei will focus exclusively on the operation and development of NeoX and SpoonOS, and will no longer participate in any matters related to the Neo mainnet.
Furthermore, I once again formally call on @dahongfei to immediately disclose a complete and verifiable financial report to the community, including a detailed inventory of all assets managed by the Neo Foundation (NF), as well as a full breakdown of all expenditures. This disclosure is essential to address the community’s long-standing and legitimate concerns regarding transparency and governance.

[AMASAL95 @amasal95]

@erikzhang @kurubatermit @dahongfei @erikzhang no response? lol.
Neo’s leadership treats transparency the way North Korea treats criticism:
deny it exists, delay acknowledgment, then erase the question.

We don’t want N4 or another failed version. We want info what happened with NGC, John, Harry, Da Hongfei.
