Firo FIROPrice $ 0.414

Firo is a blockchain-based ecosystem that focuses on preserving privacy. It aims to provide a solution to potential breaches in privacy which have impacted users’ funds and private data across cryptocurrency projects. 

FIRO is the native token of the Firo project, it has a total supply of 21,400,000. The token uses the same distribution as Bitcoin and the same halving cycle of 4 years. 

What are FIRO’s key features and how does it work?

The Firo ecosystem comprises the Lelantus trustless privacy solution. It works by allowing users to burn their coins (destroying them forever) and allowing them to be redeemed at a later point with coins that have no transaction history. This means that there is a disconnect in the wallet addresses and transactions cannot be traced.

Users must provide zero-knowledge proof that coins were previously burnt, without the need for confirming or showing which coins were burnt. The size of the transaction also remains hidden from records. A zero-knowledge proof consists of proving that you know something without giving any details about it, only the fact that you do know it. In this manner, users can send coins to each other without detailing the actual coin, size, origin or destination.

 Masternodes play a role in network security, for example preventing 51% attacks. They are incentivized to host Firo’s infrastructure and require 1000 FIRO to be deposited as collateral. Rewards are given to masternodes for their work in helping to secure the network, currently, 35% of block rewards are distributed.

What is noteworthy about FIRO?
