Native Brave Wallet can view balances and recover existing requests here, but new transactions are disabled because of a known encoding problem.

Wallet compatibility & setup

Arrange native test ZANO

Native ZANO on ZEL pays for gas and trades. The documented faucet currently serves Zano L1; arrange ZEL test funds with the Zano team using the official access instructions.

Connect on the correct network to check your balance and prepare funding details.

Zano ↔ ZEL bridge

Transfers not enabled

This app cannot submit deposits or withdrawals yet. Do not send Zano L1 assets to an EVM address as a substitute for a verified bridge route.

About supported assets and privacy

A launchpad token needs an approved bridge mapping to move to Zano as a Confidential Asset. A bridged ERC-20 is different from native ZANO used for gas. ZEL addresses, balances and trades are public; bridging does not make the ZEL part private.
