The hard fork enables Ethereum-style (EVM) signatures, facilitating integration with existing threshold signature solutions and supporting bridging systems like Confidential Layer, which uses EVM-family toolkits for privacy-focused blockchain interactions.

It addresses previous technical issues, such as invalid and stuck transactions, and prevents old-format transactions from disrupting the network, ensuring smoother future upgrades.

The update is critical for Zano’s integration with the Confidential Layer bridge and smart contract functionality, enhancing the blockchain’s stability and capacity for multi-asset privacy tokens.

We're excited to let the community know that today, the 5th hard fork officially went live!🎉

NOTE: users must update their Zano desktop wallet before March 18th, or it will stop working. Older clients will be cut from the network.
