Odaily Planet Daily News Privacy blockchain Zano has announced that Zenith has entered the implementation phase, with a planned network transition in 2027, subject to testing, analysis, and review results. Zano has not yet announced an activation date, and the proposed operational parameters still require verification at the network level.
Zenith will transition Zano from a hybrid PoW and PoS mechanism to a privacy-preserving pure PoS protocol. The block time is proposed to be reduced from approximately 1 minute to about 15 seconds, the recommended number of confirmations will be lowered from 10 blocks to 4 to 6 blocks, and the typical confirmation time will be approximately 60 to 90 seconds.
Zano co-founder and core developer Andrey Sabelnikov stated that Zenith is based on over 12 years of privacy research, aiming to provide the network with the advantages of modern PoS while retaining the privacy protections that Zano users expect.
PoW miners currently receive approximately 720 newly issued ZANO per day, which equates to about 21,600 per month and 262,800 per year. After Zenith is activated and PoW mining ends, this issuance will be canceled. Zano has also launched the official Zano Forum for technical discussions and community support.
