What we are

Free Stable Software Foundation is a Netherlands-registered foundation dedicated to developing free and open-source tools for stablecoin-based payment systems. We are non-profit-minded in purpose, platform-agnostic in engineering, and governed with public clarity.

Why stablecoins matter

Stablecoins bridge fiat systems and decentralized rails: they provide predictable value, fast settlement, and programmable money. When built transparently, they unlock financial inclusion for businesses and communities worldwide.

Open-source
Code, audits, and governance are public.
Transparency
Clear reporting and audit trails.

Our Work & Initiatives

Open-Source Payment SDK

A modular SDK for stablecoin transactions, wallets, and reconciliations — audited and vendor-neutral.

Developer Grants Program

Funding and mentorship for contributors building core tooling and integrations.

Educational Resources

Guides, documentation, and courses to make stablecoin infrastructure accessible.

Community Governance

Transparent decision making, proposal tracking, and public minutes for all core decisions.

Why stablecoins?

Stablecoins combine the programmability of digital assets with price stability. They can settle instantly, reduce friction, and enable predictable cross-border value transfer — when paired with open governance, they democratize payments.

Predictability
Stable value reduces settlement risk and enables planning.
Inclusion
Accessible rails for underbanked communities and small businesses.
Transparency
Public audits and open tooling build trust and interoperability.
