Zano

Zano is a privacy-focused layer-one blockchain whose mainnet launched in 2019. The project was created by a team of developers who had worked on CryptoNote technology. On the network, transaction amounts and sender and recipient details are hidden by default.

One of Zano's distinguishing features is that confidential assets can be issued on the network, so stablecoins or other tokens can also benefit from its privacy features. The network uses a hybrid consensus model that combines mining (proof of work) and staking (proof of stake). ZANO is the native token used for transaction fees, staking and mining rewards. The network also offers user-focused features such as an alias system and non-custodial swaps.

Privacy-focused assets may face regulatory restrictions on some exchanges and in some jurisdictions. On Lzzo.com, the Zano price is based on DefiLlama's US dollar reference and is for information only; the smart contract platform label in our catalogue does not fully reflect the project's privacy focus.
