Zano to Roll Back 24 Hours of Chain History Over Inflation Bug

Privacy blockchain Zano said an inflation bug tied to its Gateway Addresses has forced it to roll back roughly 24 hours of chain history, and it told users to immediately halt all economic activity involving ZANO and Confidential Assets. Zano pledged to compensate losses caused by the rollback, but has not disclosed the target block height, a patched release, the claims process, the mechanics of the bug or how many assets were created without authorization. Gateway Addresses launched on August 26 with Hard Fork 6.

AI take

A rollback is the most invasive remedy a live chain can take, and here it effectively asks holders to freeze activity on trust while key details remain undisclosed. The unanswered questions carry the weight: without a target block height or patched release, users cannot judge exposure, and compensation pledges are only as credible as the claims process behind them. That Gateway Addresses launched so recently, alongside Hard Fork 6, points to fresh code rather than a long-dormant flaw, so whether other recent integrations carry similar risk is the open question.
