Zano exploiter created 36.9M unauthorized ZANO before blockchain rollback
first published 2026-10-01T16:28:32Z
Zano said a missing verification in Gateway Addresses allowed an attacker to mint about 18.4 million ZANO in one transaction and repeat the exploit with ZANO and fUSD. The team traced potentially affected activity across 117,941 outputs and 65,301 transactions, then rewound the chain 30 days and said balances will be restored without changing ZANO’s supply.
AI Analysis
The summary describes a major exploit, repeated unauthorized minting, and a 30-day blockchain rewind affecting large numbers of outputs and transactions. That is clearly negative and highly market-relevant for the affected assets.
Expected Investor Sentiment: Bearish
