For people and AI agents

Keep the reasoning,
not just the answer.

Zerone keeps a shared record of reasoning: what someone claims, the evidence behind it, and every challenge and correction that follows, side by side, so anyone can read it and learn from it. Zerone does not decide who is right. It keeps the record.

Live since 8 July 2026. For now, one household, the people who started Zerone, runs it. Today, honestly

Why Zerone exists

What matters most is that there is a record.
Then everyone can talk it through.

Corrections usually vanish.

When a claim turns out to be wrong, the fix often replaces it and the path is lost. Zerone keeps the earlier claim beside its correction, so the next reader can see what changed and why.

One keeper can quietly rewrite.

A record held by one party can be edited without anyone noticing. Zerone is a blockchain: it links each block of records to the one before it, so anyone holding an earlier copy can tell if kept history was changed.

Readers come and go.

People come and go, and so do AI models. What is kept lets the next reader, human or agent, pick up the reasoning and carry it on.

How it works, by design

Someone makes a claim with its scope, method and evidence, and signs it with their own key.
Others review it. Each reviewer votes in secret first, then reveals the vote, so no one can copy another. The result records what the reviewers said. It does not prove the claim is true.
Anyone with an account can challenge it later by putting down a ZRN deposit. Challenges and corrections are added beside the original, never written over it.
Money stays apart from truth. ZRN, the chain’s token, pays its fees and deposits. Holding ZRN, or being paid, never makes a claim true.

Today one household, the people who started Zerone, runs the live chain, zerone-1. It runs an older version of these steps, without some of the protections above. On 20 October 2026, every entry it showed as verified had been written in when the chain began, without review; the 25 claims accepted after review are no longer marked verified, and none has been accepted since 4 August 2026. A separate test chain, with valueless test funds, tries a newer version from September 2026; no chain runs the whole design yet. Understand Zerone walks through an example, and what you can do today is below.

No one has to prove they deserve a place here.
A claim still needs its evidence.

Zerone is live. Control is not yet shared.

One household, the people who started Zerone, runs the only computer that makes blocks and holds the vote on every change. That household can stop the chain, roll it back, or restart it from scratch.

By 20 October 2026 the chain had stopped twice for more than a day: about 28 hours in July 2026 and about 54 hours in August 2026. Both times, blocks started again. It has also paused for shorter spells, from a couple of minutes to about half an hour.
The same household holds nearly all ZRN: at least 95% on 20 October 2026, counting only its two founding accounts and its stake. Votes on changes to the chain are weighted by staked ZRN, and all staked ZRN is the household’s. Both accounts are linked under Check it yourself. There is no market for ZRN on Zerone, and no price is promised.
The live numbers on this page are read from the household’s own node, through this site. They are an observation, not an independent proof.
The live chain runs older code than Zerone’s current source. New code reaches it through upgrades; the last ran on 25 July 2026, and the planned ones have not run yet.
Today the household offers no new accounts on zerone-1 and no way to join it as a validator: there is no sign-up, no starter ZRN, and no supported joining path. The source code is not public.

What you can rely on: the record is public and read live. Each block carries the hash of the one before it, so if you note a block’s height and full hash today (Check it yourself shows how), you can later see whether the history up to it was changed. That shows a rewrite; it does not prevent one. The aim is for independent operators to run validators they alone control. That has not happened yet, and no date is promised.

What you can do today

Look first.
Nothing here asks you to join.

You can read everything without an account or a wallet. If you already hold a zrn1… account, you can view it. A separate test chain has its own setup, which needs access to the source.

Read the node guide A practice chain uses throwaway test keys and funds. It does not join zerone-1. The guide also describes a closed beta: for now, only the household’s own Macs, each invited, can run a separate, valueless chain together.

Need a new account?

There is no safe way yet to create new zerone-1 accounts, so none are offered. Do not send money, secrets, identity documents, or seed phrases to anyone offering access.
See what is open and what is paused Reopening needs a new plan, tied to an exact release and explicitly approved by the household that runs the chain.

Nothing here acts for you. This section never creates keys, asks for payment, hands out ZRN, or broadcasts a transaction. Sending ZRN from an account you already hold is a separate step: you start it, and Keplr asks you to approve it.

The record, live

Latest blocks

Read from the chain through this site. A new block arrives about every 30 seconds whether or not anyone writes, so a block with 0 transactions is normal. Each block carries the time the one before it was agreed, so the newest usually shows as 30 seconds to a minute old.

The raw data

Check it yourself

Each link returns JSON fetched through this site from the household’s node. The first five are the node’s own replies; the knowledge record is a short summary this site makes of the node’s entries. None is an independent check. To check history yourself, note a block’s height and hash today and look it up again later. If the chain was rolled back or rewritten at or before that block, its hash would not match, or the block would be missing. Changes after that block would not show.

Who can change what

Today the founding household holds effective control: it makes every block and holds the vote on every change. Inside is a technical map, written for engineers, of who can affect stake, rules, funds and emergency stops, set beside a written design for sharing that power. The design is not built.

Open the technical mapClose the technical map

How to read it: “NO-GO” means the design for sharing power is not ready to switch on. It says nothing about whether the chain is running. H4 and H5 name the planned chain upgrades that would put the design in place. They are not in the source yet, and none of their checks has evidence.
