TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman speaks with Andrey Sabelnikov, founder of Zano and original developer of the CryptoNote codebase, about how the rise of AI is changing blockchain security and software development. Sabelnikov explains how Zano began using AI-assisted auditing to uncover vulnerabilities—including an old emission bug—and how the team has built automated testing systems around increasingly capable AI models.

The conversation then turns to Zano’s upcoming Hard Fork 6, gateway addresses, confidential assets, its planned execution layer, and the transition toward proof of stake. Douglas and Andrey also compare Zano and Monero, discuss the future of privacy coins, proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake, and the challenge of making financial privacy more widely accepted without the stigma currently attached to privacy technology.
