TREE NEWS update: The Zano blockchain has been restarted at the block height immediately before Hard Fork 6, the upgrade that introduced Gateway Addresses, rolling the chain back roughly a month after an exploit tied to the feature. The restart discards all blocks produced since Gateway Addresses went live, returning the network to its pre-upgrade state.
Zano Blockchain Rolls Back One Month After Gateway Address Exploit
A full rollback to undo a feature is a rare and costly remedy, and the fact that Zano chose it over a targeted patch suggests the Gateway Address flaw was structural rather than isolated. The decision effectively resets a month of on-chain activity and any state built on it, which matters most for anyone who transacted or bridged value during that window. The open question is how the project re-approaches the feature — whether it returns with a redesigned implementation or is shelved.
