Zano will activate Hard Fork 6 at block 3,833,000 between August 25-27, 2026, introducing Gateway Addresses to improve integration with exchanges and decentralized platforms. This upgrade removes technical barriers, allowing Zano to connect with DeFi liquidity pools and exchanges like Thorchain, enhancing adoption. It also enables two-way bridgeless asset transfers with Ethereum, TON, and Solana, maintaining privacy while expanding connectivity. Operators must upgrade wallets and nodes before activation to benefit from improved security and infrastructure features.
