Zano restarts chain from before Gateway Addresses fork.

What happened.

Cointelegraph reports that Zano restarted its blockchain at the block height immediately before Hard Fork 6. That fork introduced Gateway Addresses, which the report identifies as the subject of an exploit. Cointelegraph’s headline places the restart about a month after the exploit; it does not establish that a month of chain activity was rolled back.

Why it matters.

Restarting from a height before the fork makes the status of subsequent activity an immediate question. The upstream research record specifically flags Zano deposits and transfers for reconciliation against the restarted chain. It does not say which transactions, venues or holders were affected, or give a measure of the impact.

The restart also shows the scale of Zano’s reported response: the chain was taken back to a point before the feature at issue was introduced. The record does not establish whether that response recovered funds or resolved the exploit.

What remains open.

The supplied evidence is one approved reporting source, with no transaction-level account or Zano statement included. A useful next receipt would show how deposits, transfers and balances from after Hard Fork 6 compare with the restarted chain. Until then, the practical effects of the restart remain unverified in this record.
