Fuego is a decentralized p2p privacy blockchain banking network based from the CryptoNote protocol, that enables value within its network to inherit sound money properties and the benefits of modern private banking services like secure storage of value, untraceable peer-to-peer transfers, zero-knowledge collateralization with zkSTARKs, & access to market-based interest yield on XFG.
Developed by advocates for freedom thru sound money, Fuego functions as a free & fully open-source blockchain bank providing an alternative to tyranny centralized banking. Through it's decentralized design, Fuego Bank is owned not by any 'one' person- nor singular entity, corrupt government, or evil corp_oration- instead, Fuego is owned & operated by the people who use it thru p2p distributed consensus. Available online 24/7/365 & freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection- worldwide; as a public tool for digital privacy, economic sovereignty, and financial freedom.
Unique features of Fuego include ultra-secure p2p wallet messaging, as well as rolling term-locked (up to 1 year) on-chain deposits, also known as COLD: an initiative to earn interest on XFG Certificates β―f Ledger Deposit yield. (alpha version available, with zk-proofs and smart contract interest redemption expected early 2026. update: 2/26 live on TESTNET)
XFG (or β² /π₯) 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 βeat
Any transaction made in XFG is private by-default, much like cash money can be in comparison to the tracking-by-default of electronic money transactions, such as debit & credit cards- but Fuego Network adds dynamic transaction mixing with decoy ring signatures (min 8 up to 18) for maximum possible sender/receiver obfuscation, PLUS- all Banking txns now use a commitmentI/O key image decoy pool for ring signature sets from all Fuego deposits AND withdrawals. All network transactions (atm) use amount transparency for user confidence in network supply verification relative to new features, like burn & fee pool.
And yet, somehow- this is all amazingly viable WITHOUT the corruption involvement of any government or central banks [insert brrr meme] and furthermore, is achieved WITHIN a worldwide community of peer-to-peer network nodes and 100% free & open source software.
Unlike traditional fiat currencies issued by central banking cartels of our world, XFβ² is- while technically a crypto-currency, more accurately defined as sound money for its fixed- yet dynamic, money supply of 8,000,008 XFβ². And unlike most PoW-based cryptocurrencies of today, Fuego is designed to thrive within the disinflationary ecosystem; incentived by transaction fees, reborn coinbase rewards from burns, & banking fees from Fuego certificates of deposit.
(*) Eldernodes are basic 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 (if conditions were as such) simply by 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.
