Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) Launches Rain-Issued Card on Avalanche – The First State-Backed Stablecoin for Everyday Spend

A New Era of Public Finance: FRNT Goes Live on Avalanche

A groundbreaking milestone has been reached in the world of digital assets.

At the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) was officially launched on mainnet—marking the first state-issued, dollar-pegged stablecoin to enter real-world circulation.

Backed by the State of Wyoming, built on Avalanche, and powered by Rain’s payment infrastructure, FRNT is more than a token. It’s a programmable dollar—designed for instant, transparent, and efficient government and citizen transactions.

And now, it’s spendable anywhere Visa is accepted.

The Rain-Issued FRNT Card: Spend Your Stable Token Like Cash

FRNT isn’t just for on-chain transfers. It’s for real-life spending.

Through a partnership with Rain, FRNT holders can now use:

• Physical debit cards
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay

The card comes with zero transaction fees and seamless integration into the global Visa network—making it the most accessible government-backed digital dollar to date.

This isn’t a prototype. It’s a production-scale financial tool—already being tested in live government pilots.

Fully Backed, Fully Compliant

FRNT was created under the Wyoming Stable Token Act, ensuring full legal and financial compliance:

• 100% collateralized by U.S. dollars and short-duration U.S. Treasury bills
• 102% statutory reserve requirement—exceeding standard backing
• Regulated by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission

This legal foundation makes FRNT not just a fintech innovation, but a sovereign digital asset—setting a precedent for other states and nations.

Why Avalanche? Speed, Security, and Scale

FRNT runs natively on the Avalanche blockchain, chosen for its:

• Sub-second transaction finality (0.8s)
• Ultra-low fees
• Institutional-grade security
• Interoperability with DeFi and cross-chain ecosystems

As John Wu, President of Ava Labs, stated:

“By launching natively on Avalanche, FRNT combines legal accountability with sub-second finality, low fees, and seamless interoperability – all essential ingredients for blockchain to deliver real economic utility.”

Real-World Impact: From 45 Days to 2 Seconds

The power of FRNT was proven in July 2025, when Wyoming executed a live pilot with Hashfire, an Avalanche-based protocol.

The state used FRNT to pay a contractor—automating the entire process and reducing the payment cycle from 45 days to just seconds.

That’s a 99.99995% efficiency gain.

This Government-to-Business (G2B) pilot demonstrated:

• Instant settlement
• Full auditability
• Reduced administrative overhead

Now, the model is being expanded to Government-to-Citizen (G2C) use cases:

• Tax rebates in real time
• Emergency disaster relief disbursements
• Social benefit distributions

A Public-Private Blueprint for the Future of Finance

FRNT is a collaboration between:

• Wyoming Stable Token Commission (regulatory oversight)
• Avalanche (blockchain infrastructure)
• Rain (payment rails and card issuance)

This triad creates a scalable blueprint for how governments can leverage blockchain—not for speculation, but for public good.

Farooq Malik, CEO of Rain, emphasized the mission:

“We build financial infrastructure that makes stablecoins like FRNT instantly usable anywhere in the world… turning bold ideas into real-world impact.”

What This Means for the Future

FRNT is more than a token. It’s a proof-of-concept for:

• Programmable commerce
• Transparent public finance
• Efficient tax and benefit systems
• State-backed digital currencies

With Wyoming leading the charge—having passed 45+ blockchain laws since 2016—other states and countries are watching closely.

If successful, FRNT could become the model for national digital dollar initiatives, cross-border government payments, and DeFi-integrated public finance.
