What is $BTCx?
It's Bitcoin bridged to Zano through the non-custodial, trustless @Bridgeless_com bridge. BTCx inherits the same privacy level as native $ZANO. Indistinguishable from any other transaction on the network. Keep your Bitcoin price exposure, none of the surveillance.
"But if Gateway Addresses have visible balances, doesn't that hurt my privacy?"
No. Gateway Addresses are designed for services, not for everyday users. When you send to a Gateway Address, your identity as the sender stays hidden through stealth addresses and ring signatures.
What's visible is the amount arriving at the Gateway Address. Your personal wallet, your regular transactions, and your identity remain fully private. 🔒
10,000,000 fUSD minted!
A major milestone for Freedom Dollar and the growing movement toward private, censorship-resistant digital cash.
Thank you to every holder, trader, market maker, builder, and supporter helping make this possible.
Private money for the public world.

Spending Freedom Dollar ($fUSD) in Nigeria is now as simple as making any other everyday purchase.
This video shows a payment being made at Dellamond Mall in Abuja using AEON Pay, with settlement powered by Zano's privacy infrastructure.
Until recently, spending privacy-focused digital assets often required multiple steps: finding a buyer, converting to fiat, waiting for transfers, and only then completing a purchase.
Today, users can load $fUSD or $ZANO into AEON Pay and pay directly at merchants while the merchant receives local currency instantly.
The result is a seamless payment experience that preserves user privacy without sacrificing convenience.
This is a practical example of how Zano is helping bring private digital payments into everyday commerce across Nigeria, making it possible to spend privacy-preserving money at supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, and millions of other merchants worldwide.

Stories like this are the reason "nothing to hide" misses the point. On a transparent chain, your wallet is a public balance sheet. Anyone with a block explorer can see how much you hold, who you transact with, and how often. Add one doxxing event, and that data has your name on it.
Privacy-by-default crypto doesn't just protect your activity. It removes the public balance sheet that turns people into targets. 🔒
New to Zano? Did you know...
Anyone can issue their own privacy token on Zano, called a Confidential Asset. More than 900+ have already been created. Each one inherits the same privacy as native $ZANO. Amounts, addresses, and even the asset type itself are all hidden. 🔒
Other Proof-of-Stake blockchains show the world exactly how much each validator holds. 👁️
Zarcanum, the world's first Proof-of-Stake with hidden amounts, conceals it completely. 🔒
With Zano's upcoming full PoS upgrade later this year, finality speed will be on par with transparent blockchains. ⚡
The Zano team just got back from the 2026 Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan 🗽
We spent the event spreading the word about why privacy coins are essential for real financial freedom, and what privacy-by-default money actually looks like in practice.
Highlights from the weekend:
🔹 Hands-on workshops onboarding new people into the Zano ecosystem.
🔹 A presentation introducing people to Zano, breaking down the dangers of transparent blockchains, and why privacy-by-default money is the solution.
🔹 Aaron Day's main stage keynote: how technocracy and CBDCs threaten freedom, and why using privacy coins like Zano and Freedom Dollar is how you opt out.
The message landed: private-by-default money is how you refuse to participate in a surveillance economy.
Huge thanks to @LPNational for having us. The fight for financial freedom is just getting started. 🔒
Every data breach starts with data that shouldn't have been collected in the first place.
On a transparent blockchain, your financial data isn't just collected. It's published. Permanently. For everyone.
Zano was built so your financial data never gets published in the first place. No on-chain exposure. No breach to worry about. 🔒
The Zano Lite wallet BETA is live 🔥
The biggest barrier to trying any privacy blockchain has always been the same: sync the full blockchain, wait hours, and only then can you start using it.
The Zano Lite wallet connects to a remote node instead of running a full node. No full blockchain sync. No technical setup. The same mobile wallet experience, now on desktop.
What you get:
🔹 Connect to a remote node and skip the full sync
🔹 Full privacy-by-default on every transaction
🔹 Send, receive, and manage your assets
🔹 Zano Companion extension support built in
🔹 Available on desktop alongside the full node wallet
This is a beta release. We encourage everyone to try it alongside the existing wallet and share feedback.
Full node wallets are important for decentralization. Lite wallets are important for adoption. Now Zano has both. 🔒
How does @Bridgeless_com actually work under the hood? Because "decentralized bridge" gets thrown around a lot. Here's what makes this one different:
🔹 Runs on a network of independent validator nodes using Delegated Proof-of-Stake.
🔹 Cross-chain operations are authorized through a Threshold Signature Service, meaning no single validator can approve a transfer alone.
🔹 EVM, TON, and Solana use smart contracts for deposits and withdrawals. UTXO networks like BTC and BCH use a decentralized TSS-controlled address.
🔹 No central server. No single team with unilateral control.
No single point of failure. 🔒
