🔥 FIRO is coming to DFX Non-custodial fiat on/off-ramp. Payments at 137 SPAR supermarkets in Switzerland. Spark Addresses by default. Real-world privacy, no compromises. Coming soon. 🔗 https://firo.org/2026/04/06/dfx-firo-integration.html

@RosenBridge_erg Progress is being made with the @firoorg integration based on Rosens open standards. We are entering the testing phase of integration. https://x.com/RosenBridge_erg/status/2040116793071829461 https://x.com/firoorg/status/2040257212422267062 They delisted FIRO because our privacy actually works. So we built around them. Rosen Bridge integration is now entering testing. Soon FIRO becomes tradeable as rsFIRO on Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and across major DeFi ecosystems. No permission needed. We're against rules designed around surveillance theater rather than actually preventing illicit activity. Privacy coins represent a fraction of crypto crime. The data shows this consistently. But we're the ones who get delisted while transparent chains launder billions Rosen Bridge gives $FIRO something no exchange can take away: permissionless access to liquidity across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Cardano - with more chains coming. rsFIRO is a standard ERC-20/BEP-20 token. It works everywhere. No special integration. No gatekeepers. Delistings were supposed to kill privacy coins. Instead they forced us to build infrastructure that's stronger than what we lost. That's the thing about censorship-resistant money, it was always meant to work without asking. https://firo.org/2025/12/05/rosen-bridge-partnership.html

⛏️ Pooly.ca has added FIRO to their mining pool and they come with a loyalty program worth sticking around for. Stay connected to their PPLNS pool for 30 days and your fees drop to 0%. The longer you mine, the better it gets. Read more here: https://firo.org/2026/03/31/mine-firo-on-pooly.html

🪙 Contest. At stake!.. 0.01 firo! Every year Pantone* chooses the color of the year. 2025 is no exception. * for reference, Pantone is a very respected company that makes money on color. We don't care about their color!!! 😁 You've probably noticed that our beloved Firo is not black and white or number of count shades of gray. Firo proudly wears its own, by the way, very nice color 🪙 Respect to the designer. For a monitor, color is made up of a combination of three primary colors - RGB. In a 24-bit representation, 256 gradations for each of the primary colors give 16,777,216 shades. Attention, question: Write three integer numbers from 0 to 255 that characterize the color of Firo in the RGB representation, where R is red, G is green, B is blue. Example answer: 0, 255, 0 Only answers to this message will be accepted. The winner will be the one whose answer by the sum of integers of deviation for each color from the correct answer will be the smallest. Among equally accurate answers, the first published one will win. The source of information about the color Firo is the official document.
