1. Zenith Moves Toward Pure Proof of Stake
One of the biggest updates is the publication of the Zenith design, which outlines Zano’s planned move toward a pure Proof of Stake (PoS) system.
In simple terms, Proof of Stake allows users to help secure a blockchain by staking their coins instead of relying on mining.
Zenith represents a major part of Zano’s longer-term development and is designed to move the network away from its current hybrid approach.
2. Zano Execution Layer Added to the Roadmap
Zano has also updated its roadmap, with the Zano Execution Layer becoming a key addition.
The Execution Layer is part of Zano’s plans to expand what can be built and executed on the network.
This could become an important piece of Zano’s future as the ecosystem continues to develop beyond private transactions and assets.
3. Zano Forum Is Open
The Zano Forum is available at forum.zano.org, where users can sign in with their Zano alias.
Users can sign in using their Zano alias, connecting the forum experience with Zano’s on-chain identity system.
The new forum gives the community a dedicated place to discuss Zano, ask questions, share ideas and follow project developments.
4. HF6 Remains on Track
Hard Fork 6 (HF6) is also progressing as planned.
According to the July update, HF6 is scheduled to activate at block 3,833,000, with activation expected around August 26, 2026.
HF6 is an important network upgrade that introduces changes designed to improve Zano’s connectivity with the wider crypto ecosystem.
5. AEON Pay Cashback Campaign
The Zano and AEON Pay cashback campaign is also live.
The campaign gives Zano users another opportunity to use their cryptocurrency for payments through AEON Pay while participating in a cashback promotion.
This adds another practical use case to the growing Zano payment ecosystem.
6. What July Means for Zano
July’s update shows that Zano is working on several areas at the same time.
The project is looking ahead with Zenith and the Zano Execution Layer, improving community infrastructure with the new forum, preparing for HF6, and continuing to explore real-world payment use cases through AEON Pay.
Taken together, these updates show that Zano’s development is moving across multiple areas — from blockchain infrastructure and consensus to community and everyday crypto payments.
