Project: Franco Stanco / FrancoLab
Status: Official Franco Stanco project white paper
Important. This white paper describes the vision, architecture, utility, and development direction of the Franco Stanco Base ecosystem. It is not an investment offering, prospectus, security audit, financial advice, or promise of returns. Features that remain under development must be treated as plans until they are available in a public application and verifiable on-chain.
Franco Stanco is a Web3 IP and community ecosystem centered on the Franco character, the “underdogs” community, the $FST token, NFTs, digital content, and applications developed through FrancoLab.1 This white paper focuses on the $FST ecosystem on Base, with $FST designated as the core coin for the FrancoLab product experience.
The core product is Franco AI, a Base application combining wallet connectivity, token analysis, portfolio views, token discovery, and swaps. The Franco AI brain uses DeepSeek for conversation and data-assisted analysis. Transaction execution remains with the user’s wallet through an on-chain signing flow. The AI does not take custody of user assets.
The trading layer is built around direct integrations with 0x Swap for swap quotes and routing, GeckoTerminal and Dexscreener for market data and token discovery, WalletConnect for wallet connectivity, and Alchemy for blockchain infrastructure, RPC access, and network data. These integrations are intended to use the official SDKs, APIs, providers, and standards of each service, subject to their technical requirements and terms of use.
FrancoSwapDex is the next development direction. It is intended to extend Franco Swap V1/Beta into a more integrated Base swap experience with $FST as the ecosystem’s core asset. The contract architecture, liquidity model, fees, governance, and production status of FrancoSwapDex must still be published officially by the team.
Franco Stanco presents Franco as a symbol for Web3 users who work hard, believe in community, and seek to recover from disappointment. This identity is translated into a digital IP that can be expressed through tokens, NFTs, content, applications, and social initiatives.1
The ecosystem’s mission is to provide accessible Web3 products, strengthen the utility of $FST, develop the Franco IP sustainably, and support stray-dog rescue through a portion of ecosystem revenue.1
| Principle | Implementation |
|---|---|
| $FST-first | $FST is the core coin for discovery, purchasing, and the FrancoLab application experience. |
| Base-native | The primary product and targeted liquidity experience focus on Base Mainnet. |
| Non-custodial | Users hold their assets and sign transactions through their connected wallets. |
| AI-assisted | DeepSeek supports conversation, summaries, and informational analysis. AI does not replace user judgment. |
| Data-integrated | 0x provides swap quotes and routing; GeckoTerminal and Dexscreener provide market data; Alchemy provides blockchain infrastructure. |
| Standards-based | Each connector is implemented through the relevant official SDK, API, provider, and integration standards. |
| Transparent | Contract addresses, product status, risks, and specification changes should be documented. |
User
|
+-- WalletConnect --> User wallet --> Base transaction signing
|
+-- Franco AI --> DeepSeek --> Insights, chat, summaries, transaction assistance
|
+-- Market data --> GeckoTerminal + Dexscreener --> Prices, pools, volume, discovery
|
+-- Quote and routing --> 0x Swap --> Quote, allowance, transaction calldata
|
+-- Blockchain infrastructure --> Alchemy --> RPC, simulation, receipts, events, balances
|
+-- $FST Base ERC-20 --> Core coin of FrancoLab
|
+-- FrancoSwapDex --> Base-focused swap layer under development
The architecture separates information from execution. DeepSeek, GeckoTerminal, and Dexscreener provide or help process information. 0x provides swap quotes and routing according to its integration model. The user’s wallet remains responsible for approving and signing transactions. Alchemy provides network connectivity and transaction-status retrieval.
