Privacy blockchain Zano said it has deployed a hotfix for the inflation bug that hit the network last Friday, and that the chain is now running stably after the update. Before that, Zano rolled the blockchain back to height 3,833,000, wiping 30 days of previously confirmed transactions. The team said third-party wallets, exchanges, and payment providers will need to update their own nodes to the revised chain before they can safely restore transfers of ZANO and assets issued on Zano. Service providers are expected to announce their recovery progress through official channels, while procedures for affected users are still being prepared. In a separate post on X, the project said users can already update the iOS, Android, and desktop wallets, with more details on the recovery process to be released soon. ZANO, the network’s native asset, is down 32% this week and 40.6% since the start of 2026.
