Zano (ZANO) - Hard Fork 6 Activation - 25-27 August 2026

Zano will activate Hard Fork 6 at block 3,833,000, expected around 25–27 August 2026, as confirmed in the project’s update. The fork is described as unlocking DeFi access, implying changes to consensus rules and transaction logic to support integrations or new financial features on this privacy-focused chain. Network upgrades of this type can be price-relevant because they often drive speculative positioning ahead of activation and can enable new usage that supports long-term demand. Traders should also factor in short-term risks: exchanges may pause deposits/withdrawals around the fork and any implementation bugs could temporarily disrupt the chain.
