Zano restarted its blockchain at block 3,833,000, just before Hard Fork 6, which introduced the vulnerable Gateway Address feature. The rollback invalidates a month of legitimate transactions alongside the unauthorized ZANO and Freedom Dollar tokens, and cannot reverse payments settled on other chains. Recovery depends on nodes, miners, stakers and exchanges adopting the update. Head of marketing Quinten van Welzen said doing nothing would have left unlimited unauthorized coins circulating, diluting holders. A reimbursement and claims process will be published; Gateway Addresses will return after review, audit and testing. No post-mortem had been released at publication time.
