About Firo

Firo (FIRO), formerly known as Zcoin (XZC), is a privacy cryptocurrency that pioneered the Zerocoin protocol — using zero-knowledge proofs to allow coin burning and minting at fixed denominations for untraceable transactions. The project later developed Lelantus, an improved protocol that allows variable amounts and doesn't require trusted setup (unlike Zcash). Most recently, Spark protocol enables recipient privacy using stealth addresses. Firo has a long research history in cryptographic privacy, having originated several technical innovations later adopted or referenced by other privacy coins.
