Firo Frontier · April 22
Firo Frontier provides a brief summary of what's been happening in Firo over the past few weeks.
Rosen Bridge Integration Update
The Firo x Rosen Bridge integration is in the final stretch. Key components have been reviewed, approved, and are nearly ready to merge - including the guard-service (handles bridging of funds), the UI, and the FiroRpcNetwork (already merged). Once complete, rsFIRO will be tradeable on Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and major DeFi ecosystems without relying on any centralized exchange.

Other Updates
Privacy Roundtable Returns
The Privacy Roundtable is back! The April 15 episode featured Firo alongside PIVX, Particl, and BasicSwapDEX, with the topic: "Project Glasswing: How AI Can Make or Break Crypto Security.”
However due to technical difficulties, the Space was abruptly ended. Stay tuned for future Space!
Poramin interviewed on the KingBund podcast
Firo co-founder Poramin Insom sat down with Gun (KingBund) for an in-depth conversation covering his origins in crypto - mining Bitcoin in 2013, studying at Johns Hopkins, meeting Matthew Green, and ultimately building what became Firo. A great listen for anyone who wants to understand the story behind the project.
