The explorer.zano.org/aliases page is a dedicated section of the Zano block explorer, designed to display and manage aliases within the Zano cryptocurrency ecosystem. Zano, an open-source blockchain launched in 2019, emphasizes privacy, security, and scalability, and its alias system is a key feature that enhances user-friendliness. An alias, such as “@zanolinks” is a human-readable name linked to a payment address and stored on the blockchain, offering a simpler alternative to long, complex cryptographic addresses. This page allows users to view registered aliases, their associated details, and their status on the network.
The interface likely includes a searchable list or database of active aliases, showing information like the alias name, linked address (partially obscured for privacy), registration timestamp, and possibly a comment field, all validated and secured by blockchain storage to prevent tampering. Given Zano’s privacy focus—bolstered by features like ring signatures, stealth addresses, and the Zarcanum hard fork’s hidden-amount PoS—this page aligns with the ecosystem’s goal of combining usability with anonymity. Users can leverage aliases for transactions, and the explorer ensures transparency within the system’s privacy constraints. The page may also tie into broader ecosystem plans, such as alias-based authentication or the upcoming Zano Alias Auction, though specific functionalities depend on the explorer’s current implementation as of March 12, 2025.
