The Frankencoin
Association

The Association is not the issuer of ZCHF and does not control the Frankencoin protocol. ZCHF is created by users who lock collateral in autonomous smart contracts on Ethereum. Changes to the protocol are decided by the holders of Frankencoin Shares (FCS) through on-chain governance, open to anyone. The Association holds no custody of user funds.

Under MiCA, ZCHF is a crypto-asset with no identifiable issuer. The Association has published a MiCA-format white paper for ZCHF, which is listed in ESMA's interim MiCA register. Legal opinions, MiCA white paper and register entry →

Since 1971 the dollar has lost about 80% of its value against the franc. Yet the franc is around 1% of world payments and only 0.015% of stablecoins. The Swiss Bankers Association puts the potential for CHF stablecoins at CHF 2.8–3.0bn at today's market size.
