@PiotrPstrągowski if you take the hopf algebra of functions on the original finite free group scheme, take its linear dual, and forget down to the resulting ring, you get the coordinate ring on the Cartier dual. for the height n Honda formal group, you can find the answer in section 5 of Ravenel-Wilson's ... Conner-Floyd Conjecture: it's spanned by elements 1, beta_(0), beta_(1), ..., beta_(n) subject only to the relations beta_(j)^p = beta_(j-n+1) and beta_{negative} = 0
