TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman talks with the team behind Zano to explore how confidential assets are being used in real-world DeFi scenarios. The conversation breaks down what Zano’s confidential assets are, how they differ from typical privacy coins, and why asset-level privacy matters for practical financial applications.

The guests walk through concrete use cases—including private token issuance, payments, and DeFi-style interactions—while also discussing technical design choices, trust assumptions, and trade-offs between privacy, usability, and scalability. They cover Zano’s future plans for expanding the possibilities of private, censorship-resistant finance beyond simple peer-to-peer transactions.
