Zano Blocks Back History Due to Gateway Address Exploit

Zano's blockchain has been rolled back by approximately a month due to a Gateway Address exploit that allowed unauthorized $ZANO and Freedom Dollar (fUSD) tokens to enter circulation.

The team restarted the blockchain at block 3,833,000, immediately before Hard Fork 6, which introduced the affected feature. This move invalidates a month of legitimate transactions along with the unauthorized tokens, meaning transactions made during that period will no longer appear on the recovered chain.

Zano's head of marketing and growth, Quinten van Welzen, stated that doing nothing would have meant allowing exploited coins to keep their value, which 'would also tell every future attacker that exploited coins get to keep their value. No project survives that.'
