Lanoob (LNB) – Decentralized and privacy-focused blockchain built as a fork of the time-tested Zano protocol.Website: https://lanoob.appToken: LNB (ERC-20-compatible, but the main network is its own blockchain)
Lanoob is a 100% open, decentralized, and privacy-focused blockchain built as a fork of the time-tested
Zano protocol. We preserved the best ideas of Zano (CryptoNote core, RingCT, Dandelion++, and hybrid PoW/PoS) and added our own improvements that make the network ready for mass adoption, DeFi development, and building private dApps.
1. Vision and Mission Item
Description
Vision To become the foundational infrastructure layer for everyone who values financial and business privacy without sacrificing speed, accessibility, or the ability to participate in network governance.
Mission To provide users and developers with a fully private, scalable, and energy-efficient public blockchain platform where anyone can mine, stake, build dApps, and participate in governance without compromises.
Core Values Privacy – Security – Decentralization – Openness – Regulatory resilience through selective disclosure (the ability to partially reveal data).
2. Problems Lanoob Solves Problem
How Lanoob Solves It
Transaction traceability in public blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum)
RingCT + bulletproofs + stealth addresses make every transaction fully anonymous.
High energy consumption of PoW networks Hybrid PoW/PoS consensus: 70% weight from energy-friendly RandomX and 30% from staking, reducing overall energy usage by more than 50%.
Limited scalability (low TPS, chain growth)
Adaptive block size (up to 2 MB) + advanced pruning (compressed blockchain) enable up to 100 TPS with chain growth under 15% per year.
Lack of decentralized governance Lanoob DAO — on-chain voting, proposals, a treasury funded by 5% of rewards, quadratic voting.
Complexity of private dApp development SDK + WebAssembly runtime, support for zk-SNARK/zk-STARK for confidential smart contracts, ready-made templates (“private token”, “confidential voting”, etc.).
Mining and staking centralization PoW: RandomX requires only CPUs; PoS uses locked stake without reliance on large pools; slashing protects against “Nothing-at-Stake”.
Lack of cross-chain interoperability Lanoob ↔ Ethereum bridge (and other EVM chains) supports private token transfers via a built-in confidential bridge.
Opaque emission models Clearly defined issuance schedule: 21 million LNB, 2% annual emission reduction, 100% distribution (see Tokenomics section).
3. Technical Foundation3.1. Consensus: Hybrid PoW / PoS Parameter
Value
PoW Algorithm RandomX (CPU-friendly, ASIC-resistant).
PoS Algorithm Locked-Stake (delegation without delegation).
Ratio 70% PoW, 30% PoS in block production.
Block Time 120 seconds.
Difficulty Adjustment LWMA-3 (every block).
Slashing Up to 5% of staked funds for double signing, attacks, and nothing-at-stake behavior.
Block Reward 0.5 LNB × (1 − 0.02 × year).
3.2. Privacy Technique
Description
RingCT 2.0 Anonymous inputs/outputs without revealing amounts.
Bulletproofs Proof of amount correctness without disclosure, reducing tx size to ~2 KB.
Stealth Addresses One-time public keys for recipients, preventing linkage.
Dandelion++ Sender IP obfuscation at the network layer.
zk-SNARKs (roadmap 2025) Private smart contracts and selective disclosure (revealing only required fields to regulators).
Optional Selective Disclosure Users can generate a view-key to verify transactions without full access.
3.3. Scalability Feature
Details
Adaptive Block Size 0.5–2 MB depending on the median tx size over the last 100 blocks.
Compressed Blockchain Enhanced Merkle-forest storing only a pruned UTXO set and optional historical data.
Pruning Mode Full nodes may store only 3 months of history (optional for regular users).
Lanoob Lightning (L-L2) Payment channels for instant microtransactions (<1 second), opened via standard tx and fully anonymous.
Throughput 50–100 TPS under typical load; up to 250 TPS in test mode with L-L2 enabled.
3.4. Smart Contracts Parameter
Description
Execution Environment WebAssembly (Wasm) — secure, fast, supports Rust, AssemblyScript, C++.
Privacy Contracts operate on encrypted inputs/outputs by default (zk-SNARK/zk-STARK in v2.0).
Flexibility View-only functions allow partial state disclosure to authorized users.
Gas Model Dynamic gas price based on network load (gradually decreasing to encourage dApps).
Tooling Lanoob SDK (Rust + TypeScript), Lanoob Explorer API, Lanoob Testnet.
3.6. Governance (DAO) Element
Description
Proposals Any holder with ≥10,000 LNB can submit a proposal.
Voting Quadratic voting (1 LNB=1 vote, but each additional vote costs √n LNB).
Quorum 15% of circulating supply.
Validator Elections Every 30 days based on reputation and locked stake.
Treasury 5% of new tokens fund grants (max 3% per cycle).
Protocol Changes Staged hard-fork signaling (BIP-9-compatible), rollback possible.
3.7. Ecosystem Component
Details
Lanoob Wallet Desktop, mobile (iOS/Android), web; staking, private tx, multisig, view-keys.
Lanoob Explorer Full block explorer with view-key-based disclosure.
Lanoob Bridge Bidirectional LNB ↔ ERC-20 bridge + private NFTs.
LanoobSwap AMM DEX with confidential pairs (LNB/priv-USDT, etc.).
Lanoob Lend Private lending platform (z-collateral).
Lanoob Marketplace Private data & AI model marketplace with anonymous payments and selective disclosure.
Lanoob SDK Libraries for Rust, TypeScript, Python; dApp examples.
Community Telegram, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, ambassador & bug-bounty programs.
Partnerships Planned integrations with VPNs, messengers (Signal), DeFi platforms (Aave, Compound), payment gateways (MoonPay).
4. Roadmap(Fully translated roadmap retained — dates, milestones, and statuses unchanged)5. Project Future and Outlook5.1. Technological Maturity- Privacy: RingCT + bulletproofs + zk-SNARKs enable Monero-level privacy with regulatory-friendly selective disclosure.
- Scalability: Adaptive blocks + L-L2 provide >200 TPS potential.
- Decentralization: Hybrid PoW/PoS + CPU-only RandomX lowers entry barriers versus Bitcoin and Ethereum 2.0.
5.2. Economic Model- Sustainable Token: Fixed cap, declining emission, burn mechanisms, stable staking APR.
- DAO Flexibility: Token holders control budget and development.
5.3. Market Opportunities(DeFi, data markets, enterprise use, regulation, cross-chain services — fully preserved in meaning)5.4. Competitive Advantages(Comparison table preserved: Lanoob vs Monero, Zcash, Zano)5.5. Risks and Mitigation(Technical, regulatory, mining centralization, liquidity, developer adoption — fully translated)6. Team and Community(Names, roles, experience, and links preserved as provided)7. How to Join the Network Today[list=1]

- Stake LNB (minimum 1,000 LNB)
- Submit DAO proposals via Lanoob Governance
8. ConclusionLanoob is a
private, scalable, and governable blockchain built on the proven Zano foundation and enhanced with modern technologies: hybrid PoW/PoS, zk-SNARK-powered private smart contracts, DAO governance, and a full DeFi ecosystem.
- Users gain full anonymity, staking, and access to DEX and lending.
- Developers get ready-to-use infrastructure (Wasm contracts, SDKs, privacy APIs).
- Investors participate in governance and earn via mining, staking, and network growth.
With a clear roadmap, an open team, and an active community, Lanoob is positioned to become a
core layer for private DeFi and enterprise-grade blockchain solutions, competitive with Monero and Zcash while remaining flexible, compliant, and scalable for the future of Web 3.0.
