Firo Frontier Newsletter - Vol. 2 No. 9
Firo Frontier · June 15, 2025
Firo Frontier provides a brief summary of what's been happening in Firo over the past two weeks.
Final reminder to transfer your Firo off of Bnance NOW
A final reminder - please transfer your FIRO off of Bnance (purposely misspelt as the proper name is banned in our newsletter software) - Now. If you leave it there they will lock it up until December and pay an ‘average price’ for it at that time. You must have it off by their deadline of June 16th). You should only keep your Firo on an exchange while you are trading it. You should move it to your QT, Campfire, or Stack Wallet where it belongs. Remember - Not your keys, not your crypto.
Official Firo Wallets are available here:
Firo Wallets
Additional reminder - you should convert your BEP20-Firo to native Firo ASAP as well since this is Bnance's wrapped version of FIRO and is not native FIRO. BEP20 FIRO lacks privacy features, is not real FIRO and is just a Bnance-issued IOU, and also doesn’t support Firo’s Spark/privacy features.
Over 300 Spark Names have been registered!
Spark Names officially launched at block 1,104,500, on May 28, 2025! Over 300 Spark Names have been registered raising around 14,000 FIRO for the Community Fund and the number keeps growing!
Spark Names are Firo’s game-changing human-readable addresses for privately transacting with Firo supported wallets!
Spark names are fully supported on all QT (Desktop), Campfire, and Stack Wallets.
Reminder - We have a video promoting Spark Names and showing how it works.
Watch how it works on YouTube.
