Zano said Tuesday that it has deployed a hot fix after last Friday’s inflation bug and that the blockchain is now stable on an updated chain. The project said the immediate technical issue has been addressed, but normal asset movement across the ecosystem still depends on outside service providers updating their own infrastructure.

The team said exchanges and other third-party providers must switch their nodes to the updated chain before they can safely process transfers of ZANO and Zano-issued assets. Until each service confirms that work through its own official channels, Zano urged users not to send funds.

Updated chain in place

The latest notice from the Zano team frames the fix as a stabilization step after the network disruption tied to the inflation bug reported last Friday. According to the update, the hot fix has already been applied and the network is operating on the revised chain.

That does not mean every part of the broader service stack is ready at the same time. Zano said the chain itself is stable, but third-party operators still need to align their systems with the updated version before transfers can resume normally across wallets, exchanges, and other connected services.

Exchanges and providers still need to act

Zano said it is in contact with third-party infrastructure providers and exchanges as those businesses work through their own updates. The project indicated that each company will announce its status separately through official channels rather than through a single network-wide restart notice.

The team specifically warned users to wait for confirmation from each service before attempting deposits or other transfers. That guidance applies to both the network’s native token, ZANO, and assets issued on Zano, reflecting that node synchronization by external providers remains a necessary step before operations can fully normalize.

Recovery process is still being prepared

Alongside the technical update, Zano said it is preparing a recovery process for users affected by the incident. The team did not provide operational details in Tuesday’s statement, saying only that more information would be shared soon.

That leaves a key part of the response unresolved for now. The scope, method, and timeline of any recovery effort have not yet been outlined in the update, even as the network reports that the immediate hot fix is complete.

Market damage has continued during the incident

The episode has coincided with a sharp decline in ZANO’s market price. At press time on Tuesday, the token was down 4% against the U.S. dollar over the previous 24 hours, according to the source report.

Over the past week, ZANO had fallen 32%, while its year-to-date decline stood at 40.6%. The source article noted that the way Zano handles recovery for affected users and partners may influence how the market judges the broader incident.

What comes next

The next confirmed step is the rollout of node updates by exchanges and infrastructure partners, followed by service-specific announcements that deposits and transfers have resumed. Until those notices appear, Zano’s guidance is for users to avoid sending funds to platforms that have not yet confirmed support for the updated chain.

In parallel, the project has said it will release more details on the planned recovery process. Those two developments, third-party service restoration and the promised recovery plan, are the main outstanding items following Tuesday’s stabilization update.
