Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News: Privacy blockchain Zano announced that Zenith has entered the implementation phase, with a network transition planned for 2027, depending on the results of testing, analysis, and review. Zano has not yet announced an activation date, and the proposed operating 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 from 10 blocks to 4 to 6 blocks, and the typical confirmation time will be approximately 60 to 90 seconds.
Andrey Sabelnikov, co-founder and core developer of Zano, stated that Zenith is based on over 12 years of privacy research, aiming to give the network the advantages of modern PoS while retaining the privacy protection that Zano users expect.
PoW miners currently receive approximately 720 newly issued ZANO per day, equivalent to about 21,600 per month and 262,800 per year. After Zenith is activated and PoW mining ends, this issuance will be cancelled. Zano has also launched the official Zano Forum for technical discussions and community support.
