The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has officially approved Hedera as the only additional blockchain candidate for the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), the first state-issued stable token in the United States.
The decision came after the Commission’s Q2 2025 evaluation, where Hedera scored highly on speed, reliability, and regulatory alignment. This makes Hedera the second blockchain infrastructure, alongside the original provider, to support FRNT.
FRNT was created under the Wyoming Stable Token Act of 2023 and is fully backed by U.S. dollars and short-term Treasuries, with an additional 2% reserve to ensure stability. The token’s purpose is to showcase how digital assets can improve public finance by enabling faster and more transparent payments. Importantly, the interest earned from Treasury holdings tied to FRNT goes directly to Wyoming’s School Foundation Program, supporting education across the state.
Anthony Apollo, Executive Director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, emphasized that security and compliance were at the core of the selection process. “Our goal with FRNT is to set a new standard for how states leverage digital assets to better serve the public,” Apollo said. “The Commission selected Hedera for candidacy because its technical edge aligns with our commitment to security and compliance.”

Hedera offers fast settlement, low and predictable fees, and a governance model led by its Council of global institutions. Its network is carbon-negative and capable of handling up to 10,000 transactions per second, making it suitable for large-scale public sector use. The Commission believes these features will allow FRNT to power everything from tax refunds and contractor payments to emergency disbursements and real-time public payroll systems.
Mance Harmon, Co-Founder of Hedera and Chairman of the Hedera Council, said Wyoming’s decision underscores the shift from blockchain pilots to real-world adoption. “Wyoming’s selection of Hedera shows how responsible innovation can deliver real-world financial solutions, setting a precedent for other states and, ultimately, the world to follow,” Harmon said.
Pilot projects for FRNT have already tested its use in contractor payments and emergency disbursements, and wider rollout details for purchasing FRNT on Hedera are expected soon.
Wyoming’s move is being closely watched across the U.S. and globally, as it represents the first state-backed stable token project that blends blockchain technology with direct public benefit. If successful, FRNT on Hedera could become a model for how governments integrate digital assets into financial systems in a secure and compliant way.
