The 5th Zano hard fork officially went live

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 Zanoโ€™s integration with the Confidential Layer bridge and smart contract functionality, enhancing the blockchainโ€™s stability and capacity for multi-asset privacy tokens.
