Frangain — Whitepaper
From dust to data. From story to symbol. From forgotten to forever.
The Coin Remembers.
Introduction — A Token of Memory, Not Speculation
Frangain is not here to chase charts or make headlines. It is here to
honor a fading piece of Lebanon’s cultural soul — the humble “frang.”
Once held in every pocket, traded in markets, and tucked in drawers, the
frang has disappeared from the economy but never from memory.
Frangain brings it back — not as a currency to spend, but as a symbol to
carry. On the blockchain, it is reborn not for speculation but for
preservation. A digital tribute. A cultural reminder. A modern echo of a
coin that meant far more than its value.
📜 The Story of the Frang
🕰️ Once upon a time in Lebanon — from the 1950s
through the 1980s — the Lebanese pound (Lira) ruled daily life.
Every coin, every note, every fraction mattered. Among them, one
humble coin stood out: the smallest of them all, the
5-piaster coin, lovingly and colloquially known
as the Frang.
🇫🇷 The name “Frang” was borrowed from the French Franc — a
linguistic echo of Lebanon’s past under French influence. Over
time, the Lebanese tongue transformed the foreign “Franc” into the
more local and familiar “Frang.” It became more than a coin — it
became part of the
language, the culture, and even the humor.
💬 There was a common slang: “Frangain” —
literally two Frangs — used to describe something extremely cheap
or insignificant. “Your worth is Frangain,” people would say — not
referring to someone’s wallet, but to their character.
Despite the nickname's sting, the Frang lived everywhere: in
pockets, in jokes, in street markets, in songs.
It had become folklore.
⏳ But like many small things in history, the Frang slowly
vanished. Inflation erased its value. Time erased its memory. A
coin once used by every Lebanese family was gone — forgotten by
the young, remembered only in passing by the old.
🔁 Until now.
💠 With the launch of Frangain (FRANG), the Frang
returns — not in metal, but in memory. A symbolic digital token
that holds no monetary weight, but carries the full story of a
forgotten past.
It’s not meant to be rich. It’s meant to be
real.
💡 So the next time you hear “Frangain,” don’t think of something
cheap. Think of something cultural. Something
ours.
Think of a coin that once lived in every Lebanese hand — and now
lives again on the blockchain.
🕊️ Keep the Memory Alive — Hold a FRANG.
🎁 Symbolic Wallet Distribution — 100 Cultural Gift Wallets
As part of Frangain’s cultural mission,
100 symbolic gift wallets are being created and
distributed. These wallets serve as digital relics — a tribute to
Lebanese memory and to the historical idea of “the Frang.”
These wallets are gifted during meaningful moments and cultural
gatherings. This initiative does not affect tokenomics
or total supply; it simply spreads the story of Frangain.
🔹 Phase 1 — 22 Gift Wallets (Completed / Underway)
A total of 22 wallets were prepared in the first phase,
each containing 20,000 FRANG, and gifted during
Christmas and early outreach.
🔹 Phase 2 — 38 Gift Wallets (Underway)
The next 38 wallets, each with
10,000 FRANG, are being prepared for new supporters.
🔹 Phase 3 — Remaining 40 Wallets (Upcoming)
The final 40 wallets will be delivered over time
through cultural events and community engagement.
These symbolic distributions honor the old Frang, strengthen community
engagement, and extend the cultural journey of Frangain.
🌟 Seven Supporters Who Stepped In to Strengthen Frangain
Five months after the creation of Frangain, seven remarkable individuals
stepped forward with sincere belief in the project's cultural purpose.
Their encouragement, trust, and support helped guide Frangain through
its early development.
To honor their impact — and to decentralize the creator’s wallet — each
supporter received a symbolic allocation of FRANG.
These allocations do not affect liquidity or overall
tokenomics; they recognize people who strengthened Frangain’s cultural
mission.

A guiding figure during the earliest cultural direction of Frangain.

remembers.
