Francs FRN are France's new generation currency inspired by Bitcoin and a global currency for wealth and luxury transactions. As long time crypto enthusiasts we plainly understand the potential of Bitcoin and the blockchain technology. We know that Bitcoin will be a game changer in the way human society trade. If we support Bitcoin as a global decentralized currency, we believe also that our national history is something too important to be antiquated and left behind. We believe in our own potential and wish to coexist with the global Bitcoin network by building a strong position in this new ecosystem.
Sixteen centuries ago a tribe of horsemans known as the Franks created the embryo of what would became France, the country of freedom. The word Francs can be translated as "free" or "liberated". FRN is an alternative monetary system designed to protect their users from corrupted institutions. We are libertarians. We hope to make France a major player in this new-born ecosystem and help to build tomorrow's decentralized economy.

The French public still lacks understanding of the possibilities given by cryptocurrencies. Millions of French speaking people around the world are not informed as many of them do not read English on a daily basis. For that purpose we created the Franc's Journal)
With all the essential news in a single place, Banking economy, Crypto economy, Francs news, Web articles. Our Journal wish to become the leading source of cryptocurrency news for the french speaking public. Educating people about everything crypto-related with an elegant and friendly interface. Finally but not less important, it will give the currency a strong visibility via Google searchs for all keywords related to cryptocurrencies. Redirecting all the organic searches to the Franc's main page.
With a smart and efficient use of local information networks, street advertisement campaigns and media channels, we will rise public attention on the new Franc as well as on cryptocurrencies and the Bitcoin industry in general. As soon as the FRN infrastructure will be fully operational we will work to organize wide promotional campaigns using our knowledge and experience in that field. A series of portraits will be shot in the form of mini-documentaries. We plan to organize some footage with special guests here in Paris. Also, we would like to organize crowd-funded promotional events such as a subway ad campaign. Stay in touch !
Francs mining curve is designed to mimic gold. Just like Bitcoin. While on a shorter time length. There will be a finite supply of 11 millions FRN that will be mined over a period of 11 years. Once the cap is reached the miners will be rewarded with transaction fees, there will be no inflation. Block time is 4 minutes, Block reward is 20 FRN, halving every 2 years. You can find the list of registered mining-pools below in the Pool section.
The team is divided between developers and professionals working in commerce and marketing. A. is the creator and coordinator. Zero is the core developer. L. is the community manager. C. is the responsible of the FRN China branch. The team integrates various kind of artists and entrepreneurs. We have a responsible for Paris and suburbs. We are looking for more contacts in major cities such as Lyon, Nice or Strasbourg. Our team have members which are native Chinese-speakers.
FRN premine is shared between A. (3%), Zero (1%) and C. (1%). The premine is a reward for their personal investment. Considering A have been working on the project for a whole year. In case of sufficient price growth the money earned will be used to push further commercial developments. For example, owning our own professional video equipment would be great (top material such as the RED Epic serie costs ~ 13.000€)
Our work structure is still open and we are looking to integrate new talents! We wish to refine further the system's infrastructure, before starting some exciting promotional campaigns. If you are willing to help the project, we invite you to check the Task List on the official forum. We hope to find a large public of enthusiasts so we can work and move forward as one. If you want to share your talents and invest your time into building FRN's future, please contact : [email protected]

In 2015 I started to work on an original currency able to push the limits of altcoins. Little by little I have been rallied by a team of skilled and passionate people. Some freshly converted to cryptocurrencies, other being long time enthusiasts. Our goal is adoption. We wish to make FRN a true payment network. The cryptocurrency scene leaded by Bitcoin is growing day after day and we believe it is now the right time.
France by its history and culture still exerts an important attraction around the globe. I wished to put forward all its uniqueness. FRN is not only an ambitious project for France, it were also designed as a global currency. Carrying all the exclusiveness of Paris. It's dual positioning making it original and unique.
Thank you for your support.
