“Building the Future: What’s Next for Zano?” from March 7, 2025, on blog.zano.org outlines the significant progress and future plans for Zano, a privacy-focused, open-source layer-1 blockchain ecosystem. It highlights 2024 as a pivotal year, driven by the Zarcanum hard fork, which enabled explosive growth through features like confidential assets and Proof of Stake with hidden amounts. Looking ahead, Zano aims to enhance user experience, attract developers, and provide robust tools to establish itself as the premier privacy platform.
Key developments include the launch of Kaurma, a gold-backed privacy stablecoin led by Aaron Day, promising stability and redeemable physical gold, and the introduction of Obscuras, a new class of private NFTs on Zano’s blockchain, alongside a meme token, $BANDIT, adding utility to the ecosystem. Major integrations with Bitcoin.com Wallet and Cake Wallet in 2025 have improved accessibility. Zano Trade, an upcoming peer-to-peer trading platform, will leverage escrow contracts for secure, decentralized trading of any currency, including fiat, without third-party moderators.
The post emphasizes Zano’s ongoing commitment to privacy, security, and scalability, positioning 2025 as the beginning of a collaborative effort to make Zano a leading force in decentralized, privacy-first technology.
