Zano’s fifth hard fork on March 18, 2025, introduces ETH Signature support, enabling off-chain signing and asset operations for Confidential Assets, enhancing privacy and future contract capabilities on the blockchain.
The update removes CPU-mining code from mainnet builds to avoid false malware flags, improves blockchain download speeds with a high-speed CDN, and implements a transaction hardfork ID to ensure smooth future upgrades.
The Zarcanum hard fork, mentioned in related web content, previously transformed Zano into a multi-asset blockchain, setting the stage for this update’s privacy-focused features like hidden addresses and amounts.
