Description
The Electronic Gulden Foundation (Stichting Electronische Gulden), registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 61016764, operates the eGulden (EFL) cryptocurrency project. Its stated mission is to offer Dutch citizens genuine financial freedom and privacy by providing an alternative to the traditional bank-controlled monetary system, grounded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The foundation maintains open-source core wallet software (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android/iOS via online wallet), a block explorer, and supports several mining pools and exchange listings (AtomicDex, FreiExchange, Qutrade, Mubadil). It also runs a community marketplace (map.efl.nl) intended to connect merchants and the public using eGulden as a means of payment. The organization is entirely volunteer-run, publishes periodic newsletters and blog articles, and engages its community through a forum, Discord, Telegram, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Its activity is centered on Dutch retail users, crypto enthusiasts, and small merchants interested in a non-commercial, community-governed digital currency.
