Fuego is a decentralized p2p privacy blockchain banking network based on the CryptoNote protocol that enables value within its network ledger to inherit sound money properties of XFG, while offering beyond the benefits of modern banking by provide private wealth services like secure storage, untraceable peer-to-peer transfers, preserve your purchasing power by minting/burning, swap on-chain by pool or trade via order-book, in-house cross-chain atomic swaps, and access to private yield & secondary market trading of Certificates of Deposit (CDs) earning real yield from protocol revenue.
Developed & maintained by advocates for freedom through sound money, Fuego functions as a fully sovereign privacy blockchain banking network to provide a free & open-source alternative to legacy central banking. Through its decentralized design, Fuego Bank is owned not by any 'one' person β nor singular entity, government, or evil corp_oration. Instead, by using distributed consensus, Fuego is owned by The People - The Fire Mob - by all those who make use of it. Fuegoβs open-source peer-to-peer blockchain banking network is available online 24/7/365 & freely accessible to anyone worldwide with an internet connection βas a public tool for digital privacy, economic sovereignty, and financial freedom.
XFG (or β²/orπ₯) is anti-fragile privacy cryptocurrency and the accounting unit(s) used within Fuego network's blockchain ledger. XFG is minted into existance by block reward and distributed to miners in exchange for processing power to secure Fuego's blockchain using ASIC-resistant proof of work consensus, approximately every 8 minutes. Each XFG is divisible up to 7 decimal places, and just like USD cents or BTC sats- each XFG can be referenced down to singular (atomic) units called fire
All transactions made on Fuego blockchain are private by-default, much like cash money is when compared to default data tracking of debit/credit cards- but Fuego Banking Network adds transaction mixing with dynamic ring signature decoys (min 8,16,32 max) for maximum sender/receiver obfuscation.
Unique features of Fuego include :
- Hearth Floor, a block-discrete on-chain CLOB/AMM hybrid with adaptive-spread liquidity bands that batch-clears at volume-weighted average price (VWAP) each block;
- HΞΞΕ¦, an XFG-colored flatcoin pegged to purchasing power by tracking the US dollarβs rate of inflation since Q1|2009 to current. Minted only by burning XFG at a rate equivalent to current market value of each asset; determined by XFG priced in ΞΞΞΕ¦ (as TWAP) on Hearth.
- Certificates of Deposit, term-locked ledger deposits made & paid in HΞΞΕ¦; earning variable % yield based on each prior epoch's network activity and paid out from Treasury's CD yield pool. Based on fees from network activity ( Hearth trading fees & SwapXFG atomic swap fees)
- SwapXFG (or DeXFG) , an in-house multi-chain currency exchange via p2p PTLC atomic swaps using adaptor signatures + DLEQ on all Fuego swaps, which keeps atomic swap transactions identical to standard XFG transactions with default privacy.
- Protocol Owned Treasury, not really a rare screen in DeFi, per se, but for UTXO privacy chains (w/o smart contracts) β¦a bit unique. Not controlled by any DAO or multisig of any kind- pure protocol. Tracks & manages all fee pools and collateral reserves; plus automatic signing of interest payments to CDs withdrawing at the end of each 900-block epoch. (~5 days)
All network protocols function viably WITHOUT the corruption involvement of any governance, governments, or central banks- and furthermore is achieved WITHIN the 100% free & open-source software of Fuego Blockchain Bank, run by a worldwide community of peer-to-peer network nodes.
Unlike traditional fiat currencies issued by central banking cartels of our world, XFG is most accurately categorized as sound money for its privacy features, and its fixed- yet dynamic, money supply of β²8,000,008. And unlike even most PoW cryptocurrencies today, Fuego was designed to thrive within a disinflationary ecosystem; incentivized by transaction fees and reborn coinbase rewards from burns- ensuring security & block rewards for many future generations.
(*) Eldernodes are service nodes which earn a percentage for each txn they relay on Fuego network. For more info and a list of tutorials, see & contribute to our Guides section.
Fuego exists only as a result of open-source contributions and regular people like you & I running free (as in freedom) software on our machines. Whether it be an act of altruism, rebellion, or an act of freedom- our action is what matters. One could even escape the clutches of tyranny (were conditions as such) by simply choosing the routine action of accepting payment(s) in the form decentralized privacy currencies for any peer-based transactions already occurring from normal interactions of everyday, human life.
