You can trade $BTCx privately on the Zano Trade DEX. 🔒
No KYC. No account. No mempool for bots to front-run. Your trade is indistinguishable from any other transaction on the network.
How it works:
🔹 Connect your Zano wallet through Zano Companion
🔹 Place an order on the ZANO/BTCx pair
🔹 Ionic Swaps ensure both sides commit simultaneously. No unfair advantage.
🔹 The swap confirms in approximately 1 minute
Private peer-to-peer BTCx trading. No intermediaries. No surveillance.
Zano turns 7 today! 🎂
In 2019, we launched with one mission: make financial privacy the default, not a feature. No opt-in. No compromise. No exceptions.
Seven years later, here's what that actually looks like:
🔹Zarcanum: the world's first Proof of Stake consensus with hidden amounts. No other blockchain has done this.
🔹 Confidential Assets: private tokenization on Layer 1. Issue your own tokens with the same privacy guarantees as native ZANO.
🔹Ionic Swaps and Zano Trade: a privacy-focused DEX where all your trades are completely shielded.
🔹On-chain governance: stakers vote anonymously on protocol decisions.
🔹 Real-world spending: together with our partners, Zano can be spent at millions of merchants worldwide.
None of this happened because of hype cycles. It happened because a small team and a dedicated community showed up every single day for seven years.
Year eight is already in motion. Two major upgrades are ahead: Hardfork 6 with Gateway Addresses, opening Zano to exchanges, protocols, and payment networks, and Hardfork 7 with full Proof-of-Stake consensus for a faster and more secure blockchain. Together, they will turn infrastructure into adoption.
Thank you to every zAnon who has been part of this. We're just getting started. 💙🔒
Privacy blockchains didn't add privacy to crypto. They removed the surveillance bug from the original design.
Transparency was never a feature. It was a flaw we normalized.
Edge CEO @paullinator breaks down why he supports @zano_project. Zano’s lead dev Andrey Sabelnikov developed from scratch CryptoNote implementation(which later was used as origin for many projects, most known is Monero). Paul also discusses the added utility of private tokens on Zano. He explains why @Bridgeless_com was such an important piece, allowing assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to be bridged into Zano’s private blockchain. On Zano, not only are the sender, receiver, and amount hidden, but because multiple private assets can exist on the chain. #privacy #zano #privacybydefault #xmr
Every major upgrade Zano has shipped:
✅ Zarcanum: private Proof-of-Stake
✅ Confidential Assets: issue privacy tokens on-chain
✅ On-chain voting: governance by stakers
Next up Hardfork 6:
Gateway Addresses, removing the technical barriers for exchanges, bridges, and DEXes to integrate $ZANO.
2026 might be the biggest year yet. 🔒
Something new is coming from Zano ⏳
We're launching a dedicated explainer video series, designed to break down everything about Zano in a way that's clear, visual, and easy to follow.
What to expect:
🔹 How Zano's privacy tech actually works and why it's designed this way
🔹 Confidential Assets, Zarcanum, and many other features explained
🔹 Real-world use cases: spending, staking, bridging
First episode drops soon. After that, two new videos every month.
Whether you're new to Zano or have been here since day one, this series is for you. 🔒🎬
Imagine if @zano_project enabled gasless swaps through Confidential Layer…
According to @paullinator you could have private BTC, where the Zano side is completely invisible to the Bitcoiner.
Build a Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Bitcoin Cash app where:
�� Funds are automatically shielded
• No need to hold Zano for gas
• When you send, it seamlessly bridges out (BTCX → BTC)
To the user, it just feels like using Bitcoin…
But underneath, it’s totally private & seamless.
$ZANO is up 62% this week and most people still haven't noticed 🔥
Privacy coins are having a rotation moment. Capital is moving out of large caps into assets like @zano_project. Their lead dev literally co-wrote the CryptoNote protocol that Monero was built on 💪
On top of that: real spending utility dropped this week! Zebec Card brings global Mastercard acceptance, AEON Pay opens up merchant access worldwide.
$10 is the level to watch 👀
Easiest way to swap $ZANO with no sign-up on @Changehero_io 👇

Saturday Reminder: https://t.co/XfdKbXEEx7 lists businesses around the world that accept $ZANO for goods and services 🌐
🔹 Looking to spend $ZANO? Check the map and find merchants near you
🔹 Already accepting $ZANO? Get your business listed by reaching out to [email protected]
The more merchants on the map, the stronger the privacy-first economy gets. 🤝
Even @THORChain showed great interest in the upcoming Zano Gateway Addresses release during our livestream with them last Saturday.
Although not mentioned in the article, this is yet another great development worth noting!
Real-world asset tokenization is broken on public blockchains. Your portfolio is public, your trades get front-run, and your financial life is permanently recorded. 👀
Zano fixes this with Confidential Assets. Create any token with the same privacy guarantees as native $ZANO. Hidden amounts, hidden senders/receivers, hidden asset types. All at the protocol level 🔒
A year ago, spending #ZANO in the real world meant finding P2P counterparties or jumping through multiple conversion steps.
Today:
✅ Zebec Card for Mastercard acceptance worldwide
✅ AEON Pay for 50M+ merchants across emerging markets
Swipe a card. Scan a QR code. Either way, you pay with $ZANO and the merchant receives local currency.
This is what real-world adoption looks like. 🔒
