Node 0.5.2 and Wallet V1.78 follow a week of testing
Community reports led to specific fixes in Wallet V1.78 and node 0.5.2. Both TestNet chains were relaunched, several features are live chain-side, and work remains before MainNet.
The long horizon
Built for the moment after its founders.
ZooBC is open infrastructure. The Foundation supports the network through public-good funding, accountable coordination, and stewardship designed to move responsibility outward.
Purpose
Steward of the network.Never its owner.
The Foundation exists to support open infrastructure that no single party controls. It funds public work, coordinates programmes, and makes its actions visible.
Its authority must remain bounded. It does not own the network, custody user assets, promise returns, or replace community decision-making.
The destination is not institutional control. The destination is independence.
Read the mandate
Stewardship
Open by design.Durable by structure.
A credible Foundation separates the network, the institution, commercial entities, and the community. That separation protects the mission and makes accountability possible.
Responsibility moves outward through transparent grants, governance, open technical access, and evidence that anyone can inspect.
Independence is not a slogan. It is the handoff.
How decisions are madeProof of Participation
See consensus.One block at a time.
A three-axis model of ZooBC. Blocks, routes, and signals share one isometric projection as the network relays, produces, confirms, and recovers.
Conceptual network model
Public testnet available
Transaction
A wallet signs an instruction. Its private key stays with its owner.
Public evidence
Trust should beinspectable.
These signals are read from the public ZooBC interface. Each one links back to a source that can be checked independently.
Ways in
Choose the work.Follow the evidence.
Every route begins with a concrete role, a public process, or technical material you can inspect before making a commitment.
Apply for a grant
Propose public-good development, tooling, education, or security research against published criteria and milestones.

Vote on times and submit questions for two ZooBC AMA sessions
Two AMA sessions are open for questions and time voting: a general introduction to ZooBC and a technical deep dive. Work has also started on browser signing and a hardware wallet bridge.
ZooBC testnet restarts on a fresh chain with version 0.5.1
Testnet and devnet are producing blocks with community-reported fixes, automatic splitting and linked-address accounts. Previous testnet balances did not carry over, and automatic splitting is not yet available in the wallet.
