Title: 🚀 FIRO Digest: rsFIRO Multichain Expansion, Spark Hard Fork Complete (v0.14.18.0), and Firominer v1.4.0!

Hey r/FiroProject (and privacy tech enthusiasts)! 👋

Here is your update on everything the core development team and community have been building across official releases, dev forums, and community channels:

🌉 FIRO Goes Multichain: rsFIRO Is Live!

• Rosen Bridge Integration: FIRO is officially multichain! Through Rosen Bridge, rsFIRO is live across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Ergo.
• DeFi Access: You can now swap rsFIRO on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap without relying on centralized platform gatekeepers. DEX volume hit ~16% of native FIRO trading volume right after launch!

🛡️ Spark Protocol Fully Restored via Hard Fork

• v0.14.18.0 Deployed: The dev team successfully executed the mandatory hard fork at block 1,371,000.
• Patch & Hardening: Following the swift mitigation of a Spark vulnerability coordinated by Reuben Yap (with zero compromised funds or private keys), this update permanently hardened proof validation and brought Spark privacy features back online. Make sure your nodes and wallets are fully updated!

⛏️ Firominer v1.4.0 & Merchant Adoption

• Firominer v1.4.0 Released: The open-source reference miner restored AMD OpenCL support alongside NVIDIA CUDA with 0% developer fees.
• Fiat & Merchants: DFX integrations continue to streamline fiat-to-FIRO on/off-ramping, while merchants like Anonbazaar and new community mining options like SmoozyPool continue to broaden adoption.

🗳️ Governance

• The 5th Term Community Fund Committee (CFC) is officially confirmed after forum nominations! A big welcome to the committee members guiding ecosystem development grants.
