Firo is a privacy-preserving cryptocurrency and ecosystem. Through the Lelantus protocol, users can burn coins to destroy them, thus preventing them from existing, and later redeem them for coins with no previous transaction history. This process of burning and redeeming breaks the links between addresses, making transaction graph analysis much harder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Firo (FIRO)?

Firo (FIRO), formerly known as Zcoin, is a cryptocurrency that focuses on being private digital cash. It created the Lelantus privacy protocol which allows users to burn their coins and redeem them later for brand new ones that do not have any transaction history. Prior to Lelantus, it was also the first cryptocurrency to code and launch a practical implementation of the Zerocoin protocol which became one of the most prevalent privacy protocols in use, prior to it being replaced by Sigma and then Lelantus after cryptographic flaws were discovered in the Zerocoin protocol in 2019.
