Community update: Zano's growth plan for 2023

Hey there zAnons! Today we've got to bring you the exciting news that Zano will be moving forward from now on with a marketing strategy alongside all the efforts the dev team makes with the development of Zano.

The Zano team has been developing for many years with good results. This has led to us being one of the top privacy projects in terms of technology. Now that most infrastructure is ready for use, and we are laying the most important pieces of the puzzle (Zarcanum & Confidential Assets) we think that now is the ideal timing to start with our marketing efforts.

Zano has created the ideal environment for P2P transactions and e-commerce with advanced features such as Escrow/P2P Contracts, Multi-Sig, Atomic Swaps and Aliases. But also upcoming features such as Confidential Assets and a DEX will be cornerstones for Zano's ecosystem. We are proud to say all the features Zano has built are completely decentralized and don't rely on anything else than our censorship-resistant, permissionless and open-source Zano blockchain.

But what if we created all this tech without anyone ever using it? Well, that would be a pity! Therefore, we understand it's very important for Zano to grow our community into a flourishing place with lots of users and activity. Since a couple of months back, Mr_Kwibs is Zano's new marketing manager and, he will help us to bring Zano to the masses. He has come up with a plan we are most excited to share with the community.
