What is Firo?
About the coin
Firo, previously known as Zcoin, is a cryptocurrency that emphasizes privacy. It employs zero-knowledge proofs to ensure that transactions remain fully anonymous. This is achieved by allowing users to destroy coins and later redeem them as new ones without any transaction history.
Main features
Firo stands out among privacy-centric cryptocurrencies by not just obfuscating payment trails but completely abolishing them. It utilizes the Lelantus privacy protocol, which enhances standard cryptographic assumptions and supports high anonymity sets without requiring a 'trusted setup'. Additionally, Firo's operations are supported by Dandelion++, which conceals the originating IP of transactions, eliminating the need for external services like Tor or i2P.
How it works
The Firo/Zcoin blockchain was notably used in the Thai Democrat Party Elections in 2018 to elect its party leader, with over 127,000 votes cast nationwide. This marked the first large-scale application of blockchain technology in a political election, showcasing Firo's capability in secure and anonymous voting.
