Find answers to common questions about Freedom Dollar (FRD), its mechanics, privacy, usage, and philosophy.
FRD is a private, decentralized, censorship-resistant stablecoin that tracks ≈ 1 USD, runs fully on the Zano blockchain, and is governed by open-source code—not a company.
The peg is maintained algorithmically: users can always swap 1 USD-worth of Zano (ZANO) for ≈ 1 FRD and vice-versa; decentralized oracles feed price data, and semi-autonomous market-maker bots hedge reserve risk on exchanges. Together these forces expand or contract FRD supply around the target price. Anyone can run a market making node to help secure the network!
Every FRD in circulation is over-collateralised by ZANO held in protocol-controlled addresses. The live Coverage Ratio (value of ZANO ÷ value of issued FRD) is published on the dashboard; the protocol aims to keep this well above 100% at all times.
The system will always have enough Zano to fully cover redemptions, and market makers will always have more USD on hand to buy more Zano if needed in the case of a large market correction.
No. FRD tokens live on Zano addresses you control; the token platform contains no freeze function, and the network itself has no admin keys. Third-party exchanges you use might enforce their own rules, but on-chain FRD cannot be seized or blacklisted.
Zano uses Ring Signatures, Confidential Transactions, and one-time stealth addresses by default. That means sender, receiver, and amount are hidden from public chain observers. No one even knows what asset you are transacting in! For strong privacy your wallet still needs good operational security; on-chain privacy ≠ total anonymity if you leak metadata elsewhere.
Option A (on-chain) – Use the Zano Dex as your Freedom Gateway in your Zano.org wallet to swap ZANO ↔ FRD directly.
Option B (CEX/DEX) – We're integrating with partner exchanges; the first listings are expected in Q3 2025. Join the wait-list or check the "Where to Buy” panel for live links.
Any Zano-compatible wallet can hold FRD because the token follows Zano's asset standard. We recommend the official Zano desktop/mobile wallets (v3.0 or later) but the Bitcoin.com and Cake Wallet are also both great and support FRD today.
A full security audit of Zano by cypherstack has been completed.
FRD is permissionless software; the protocol imposes no geo-blocks. You are responsible for understanding and obeying the laws, tax rules, and sanctions regimes that apply where you live or operate. This website does not offer legal advice, and does not advocate breaking any laws. Be responsible with how you use your Freedom Dollars.
Tax treatment varies by country, but most authorities treat stablecoins as property: spending or swapping FRD may trigger a capital-gains or income event relative to your local fiat currency. Keep your own records; privacy tech hides data from the public, not from your tax obligations.
