Zano

Official Website: zano.org

Zano is an open-source cryptocurrency and ecosystem with enterprise-grade privacy, security, and scalability that operates as a robust foundation for confidential assets and decentralised applications (dApps).

Addresses

In Cake Wallet's Zano wallet, there is only one address per wallet, which is standard for the Zano ecosystem. Keep in mind that this will have lesser privacy compared to some other assets, where new addresses are automatically generated.

Your Zano address will start with ZxD followed by a series of alphanumeric characters.

When sending, Cake Wallet also accepts a Zano alias in place of an address — a short handle beginning with @, such as @alice. Aliases are registered on the Zano network and resolve to a normal Zano address.

Seed Format

Cake Wallet uses a 26-word seed format for Zano wallets. When creating or restoring a wallet, you'll need to use this 26-word seed phrase. Under Advanced Settings on the wallet creation screen you can add a seed passphrase.

Zano's 26-word seed is not a BIP39 seed, so Zano wallets cannot join a wallet group and cannot share a seed with your other Cake Wallet currencies.

Fee Levels

Transaction fees are a necessary part of sending Zano or Confidential Assets.

Cake Wallet lets you choose a fee level for each transaction under Advanced SettingsFees. Zano offers five levels, in this order:

  • Slow

  • Automatic — the default, and what we recommend

  • Medium

  • Fast

  • Fastest

We recommend leaving it on Automatic, which balances speed and cost based on current network conditions. Higher fee levels confirm faster but cost more; lower levels are cheaper but can take longer to confirm.

Confidential Assets

Cake Wallet's Zano wallet can store Confidential Assets in addition to ZANO. To add a Confidential Asset, open the Assets tab on your home screen, tap the Tokens button, then tap the + to add a token. Any existing Confidential Assets owned by the wallet will automatically be shown on the home screen.
