Svmuu News: The privacy-focused blockchain Zano has announced that Zenith has entered the implementation phase, with plans to transition the network in 2027, subject to the results of testing, analysis, and review. Zano has not yet announced an activation date, and the proposed operational parameters still require validation at the network level.
Zenith will transition Zano from a hybrid PoW and PoS mechanism to a privacy-preserving pure PoS protocol, with the block time expected to decrease from approximately 1 minute to about 15 seconds, with the recommended number of confirmations dropping from 10 blocks to 4–6 blocks, resulting in a typical confirmation time of approximately 60–90 seconds.
Andrey Sabelnikov, co-founder and core developer of Zano, stated that Zenith is based on over 12 years of privacy research and aims 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 tokens per day, equivalent to 21,600 per month and 262,800 per year. Once Zenith activates and concludes PoW mining, this portion of the issuance will be canceled; Zano has also launched the official Zano Forum for technical discussions and community support.
